CHAPTER 17

72 I-1 INDUSTRIAL ZONE

17.72.010 Objectives and characteristics of zone.

   A.   The I-1 industrial zone covers the portion of the city which is primarily suited for industrial development. The primary objectives in establishing this zone are to separate industrial uses from residential and related uses and to promote the economic well being of the people. In an effort to protect surrounding residential and commercial uses, certain types of industrial uses have been excluded, such as industries which are hazardous or which are offensive due to excessive odors, vibration, dust, or other emissions. Hotels, schools, churches, dance halls, liquor dispensing establishments and certain other uses have been excluded from the I-1 industrial zone because of the adverse effects upon such uses when they are allowed to commingle.
   B.   In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this title and to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of this zone, the following regulations in this chapter shall apply in the I-1 industrial zone.
