Any use customarily incidental to a permitted principal use.

[The following special exception uses shall be allowed in the I-2, Industrial 2 District:]

Such use shall be subject to planning commission review for provision of adequate buffering, landscaping, screening, parking and circulation to mitigate any adverse impacts on abutting residentially zoned properties.

(5)

(6)

Limited retail uses may be allowed, but only as an accessory use clearly incidental and subordinate to a permitted principal use on the property, and subject to the following:

a.

The retail space is limited to 25 percent of the gross square footage of the building if a single tenant building, and not more than 25 percent of the gross square footage of each tenant's space in a multiple tenant building. In addition, the retail space shall not exceed 1500 square feet of any building. The retail space limit is inclusive of all showroom, displays and sales areas.

b.

No business shall operate retail use as a standalone or primary use, but only ancillary to the otherwise permitted principal use. The retail use must directly support or relate to the principal use. In the case of non-profits, the retail use may be used to generate funds to support the primary mission of the organization. For the purposes of this section, 'retail use' includes the on-site sale of goods or merchandise to the general public.

c.

Limited retail use shall only be allowed under this section for industrial-zoned properties located on South Street, and not in other industrial areas in the City.

d.

Required off-street parking for the approved limited retail area shall be calculated at the same rate as the principal use for the business on the property. While additional parking spaces are not required at the retail use rate, there will be no grandfathering of additional spaces as a result of the approved limited retail uses.

e.

Prior to any limited retail use being allowed, the parking areas must be brought into compliance with off-street parking requirements including, but not limited to, striping, condition, provision and designation of handicap spaces, and other accessibility requirements.
