Spring City City Zoning Code
ARTICLE X
I - Industrial District
§ 525-46 Purpose.
Industrial development has played a significant role in the history and growth of Spring City Borough. The purpose of the I Industrial District is to provide areas in the Borough for industrial activity to continue and expand without interference from incompatible land uses. Uses within this district are primarily restricted to industrial or industrial related enterprises which are not appropriate in other areas of the Borough. While residential uses are not generally permitted here, a mixed business/residential use will be considered if proposed as an adaptive reuse of an otherwise underutilized or vacant building, as recommended in the Spring City Borough Comprehensive Plan.
§ 525-47 Permitted uses.
