Pineville City Zoning Code

SECTION 10

- I INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT

Within all I Industrial Districts, as shown on the official zoning map, the following regulations shall apply:


Article 10.01. - Uses permitted.

(1)

Any use permitted in R-2 Residence, C-1 or C-3 Business Districts provided further that any type of activity including all types of manufacturing, processing, fabricating, warehousing, distributing, transporting, storing, repairing, terminals, power plants, contracting, wharves, docks, railyards, stables, stockyards, kennels, agricultural pursuits or processing, pumping or electrical stations, junk yards, utility stations.

(2)

The above and other uses may be permitted, provided they are not in conflict with any other ordinance, and, provided further, that such uses are approved by the governing body and subject to such safeguards, as this body may establish.

(3)

In approving uses the governing body will be guided by the following standards:

(a)

Any use which emits odors, gas, or dust which is unpleasant, obnoxious, or injurious to health, will be required to design and construct necessary buildings, enclosures, filtering systems, or other facilities necessary for eliminating or reducing the intensity or concentration of such odors and/or dust to a level which will not be detrimental to zoned residential districts close to the particular use. In determining what is "detrimental," inspection of similar facilities operating in other locations with particular attention to the appearance and condition of adjacent residential area will assist the governing body in making a determination. Study of court decisions involving cases where damage has been claimed by residents living near such odor or dust emitting plants may be used as an instrument to interpret this paragraph.

(b)

Proper provision must be made for storage of raw materials and wastes to prevent unsanitary conditions or the breeding of flies, insects and rodents. A safeguard against such conditions may be the requirement to store such materials in tight buildings or bins.

(c)

If the industrial operation requires aboveground storage of explosive materials, the industry may be required to acquire sufficient land area surrounding the plant to minimize danger to people and property adjacent to the industry. A similar requirement may be established for an industry engaging in an activity which creates noise or vibrations.

(d)

Disposal or escape of waste products into existing drainage structures or sanitary sewers without proper treatment is prohibited.

Article 10.02. - Height regulations.

Those buildings in an I Industrial District which adjoin or abut a residential district, shall not exceed forty-five (45) feet in height, unless set back from all lot lines one foot for each foot of additional height above forty-five (45) feet.

Article 10.03. - Area regulations.

Dwellings hereafter constructed in an I Industrial District must comply with the area and yard regulations of the R-2 Residence District.

All other permitted uses in I Industrial District shall comply with the following area regulations:

Yards.

Front yard: Twenty-five (25) feet.

Rear yard: Twenty-five (25) feet.

No rear yard will be required for that part of a lot abutting a railroad siding.

Side yard (each side): Five (5) feet.

On lots adjacent to a residential district, a minimum side yard of ten (10) feet will be required.

Article 10.04. - Off-street parking, loading and unloading.

See Section 4.
