- INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS

10.1 - PURPOSE

A.

Purpose of I-1 Light Industrial District

The purpose of the I-1 Light Industrial District is to accommodate those light industrial activities that are located in close relation to commercial and residential areas. The type and intensity of industrial uses should be held to those types that do not detract from an area of less intense land use or become a blighting influence to such an area. It is for this purpose that performance standards in the I-1 Light Industrial District should be normally high.

B.

Purpose of 1-2 General Industrial District

The purpose of the 1-2 General Industrial District is to provide an area where heavy and intensive land uses may locate. The uses within this district are considered to be too heavy to be normally included within either the I-1 Light Industrial District or the I-3 Planned Industrial District and should therefore be located in such an area as to present the least deleterious effect to adjacent, less intensive land uses.

C.

Purpose of I-3 Planned Industrial District

The purpose of the I-3 Planned Industrial District is to provide exemplary standards of development for certain industrial uses that, because of location, transportation, access and other land use factors, must necessarily be located and adjacent to lesser land use intensities.

(Ord. of 12-2-24(1))

10.2 - PERMITTED AND CONDITIONAL USES

Table 10-1: Industrial Districts Permitted and Conditional Uses lists permitted and conditional uses for the industrial districts. A "P" indicates that a use is considered permitted within that district. A "C" indicates that a use is considered a conditional use in that district and must obtain a conditional use permit as required in Section 4.3 (Conditional Use Permit). No letter (i.e., a blank space), or the absence of the use from the table, indicates that use is not permitted within that district.

2  A conditional use permit must be acquired by existing junk/scrap yard uses when there is a physical expansion of the land area or building area(s), or when any new scrap processing equipment is introduced including, but not limited to, equipment that has the ability to shred, bale, compact or shear ferrous metals other than food and beverage containers, or replacement of existing scrap processing equipment with the equipment that has the potential for creating more significant impacts to the community and surrounding area (e.g., noise, air emissions, vibrations). This excludes cold storage or office space less than 1,000 square feet.
