Industrial District

This district provides for lands that are suitable for manufacturing and industrial activities, and limited retail sales, provided such uses do not present a threat to the public health, safety and welfare through air, water and noise pollution and other impacts. The properties on which such land use is located should be of such size, shape and location as to permit development of well-organized industrial facilities with proper access roads, ingress and egress, off-street parking, loading space and other necessary requirements and amenities. It is not the intent of this article to assign the various industrial activities to specific industrial districts according to what is manufactured, fabricated, processed, assembled, stored, warehoused, wholesaled, distributed or otherwise handled. Rather, the intent is to permit industrial activities on the basis of their exposure to, and effect on, adjoining industrial and non-industrial uses and on the general community. See Table 13-431A for permitted uses. The intent of the district is to: Provide for, by either permitted, special or conditional use, such industrial activities, as provided in Table 13-431A, that have no more than a moderate adverse impact on adjoining non-industrial properties; Provide for limited retail sales, including retail goods that include on-site production, those that involve significant truck traffic and those that may have significant secondary effects on other, more sensitive, land uses; Prohibit uses within the zoning district which could interfere with development of industrial uses; Prohibit uses within the zoning district which could have serious adverse effect on the surrounding area; Consistent with Policy 8.1 of the Sumter County Economic Element, functional locations for industry and commerce will provide lands for intensive development intended for the county's economic initiatives.
