The industrial districts are included in this chapter to achieve the following objectives:

(a)

To provide locations for industrial use separate from other potentially incompatible land uses.

(b)

To contain external effects of industrial uses within industrial districts.

(c)

To provide standards for site development that are appropriate for industrial uses.

(d)

To accommodate the transportation and access needs of industrial uses, while minimizing effects on surrounding land uses.

(e)

To facilitate planning for urban services and environmental protection appropriate to anticipated traffic generation, service requirements, and operational characteristics of industry and other high-intensity land use.

(Code 1980, § 55-482)

The LI limited industrial district is intended to accommodate service type commercial and light industrial uses with relatively limited external effects in a high-quality environment. These use types generally have lower traffic volumes than other commercial and industrial uses. The LI district provides for conditional approval of other uses with moderate but controllable effects. The LI district, combined with performance standards, is appropriately located in both suburban and central city industrial areas, particularly those near to residential and commercial districts.

The HI heavy industrial district is intended to accommodate industrial uses with major external effects. These uses characteristically have operating characteristics and environmental effects that make them incompatible with surrounding uses. The HI district is most appropriately located in areas that are separated from residential and consumer-oriented commercial districts. When this is not possible in previously developed areas, the HI district is combined with performance standards and buffering requirements to minimize the effects of permitted uses. In addition, the uses that create the greatest conflicts with existing residential areas are controlled through special permit procedures.
