Industrial District

The purpose of the I industrial zone is to implement the rural development policies of the Comprehensive Plan and recognize existing industrial uses in rural and natural resource areas of the county. This zone is applied to land committed to, or intended for, industrial uses outside urban unincorporated communities, rural communities, and rural service centers, as those terms are defined in the Comprehensive Plan and Oregon Administrative Rules. The purpose and intent of the industrial zone is to provide for the location, in rural areas, of needed industrial uses which are not dependent upon urban services. The I zone encourages orderly and compatible development of industrial uses, including agricultural related industry, on rural lands. These lands are suited for industrial use due to marginal agricultural soils, adverse circumstances such as shape, proximity to railroad or transmission line corridors or proximity to markets or resources. The industrial zone may be appropriate in rural areas designated in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan as industrial or in locations which meet the intent of the zone.
