CHAPTER 8

MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS

6-8-1: PURPOSE STATEMENTS:

   (A)   M1 Light Manufacturing District: The purpose of the M1 light manufacturing district is to provide for low intensity, nonnuisance light fabrication and assembly type manufacturing, as well as warehousing, storage, office, and research and development facilities. Development standards are intended to buffer multi-unit residential dwellings located within the district from the impacts of these light manufacturing uses.
   (B)   M2 Medium Manufacturing District: The purpose of the M2 medium manufacturing district is to permit higher intensity manufacturing uses, and warehouse and storage uses. Medium intensity manufacturing may produce moderate external effects such as smoke, noise, glare or vibration. (Ord. 2006-37, 12-21-2006)

6-8-2: PERMITTED AND SPECIAL USES:

Table 7, "Manufacturing Districts Permitted And Special Uses", of this section lists permitted and special uses for the manufacturing districts. A "P" indicates that a use is considered permitted within that district. An "S" indicates that a use is considered a special use in that district and must receive special use approval as required in section 6-4-3, "Special Uses", of this title. No letter (i.e., a blank space), or the absence of a use from the table, indicates that use is not permitted within that district.
