Light Industrial District

The I-1 Light Industrial District is designed so as to primarily accommodate wholesale activities, warehouses, and industrial operations whose external, physical effects are restricted to the area of the district and in no manner affect in a detrimental way any of the surrounding districts. The I-1 district is so structured as to permit, along with any specified uses, the manufacturing, compounding, processing, packaging, assembly, and/or treatment of finished or semi-finished products from previously prepared materials.

It is intended that this district act as a transition between heavier industrial uses and residential or commercial areas. The general goals of this use district include, among others, the following specific purposes: 1 To provide sufficient space, in appropriate locations, to meet the needs of the city's expected future economy for the types of manufacturing and related uses described herein.; 2 To protect abutting residential districts by separating them from manufacturing activities, and by prohibiting the use of such industrial areas for new residential development.; 3 To promote manufacturing development which is free from danger of fire, explosion, toxic and noxious matter, radiation, and other hazards, and from offensive noise, vibration, smoke, odor, and other objectionable influences.; 4 To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance with a well considered plan. To protect the character and established pattern of adjacent development, and in ea
