General Industrial District

This industrial district is established to provide areas in which the principal use of the land is for manufacturing and other heavy industrial uses that could possibly have an adverse effect on surrounding property. The operation of these uses is such that noise, odor, dust, heat, glare and vibration cannot be fully confined within a building although best management practices should be used to confine these environmental effects to the property. Such uses are not properly associated nor compatible with residential, institutional, retail business, or light industrial uses. These industries often require direct access to rail or arterial street transportation routes; and the size and volume of the raw materials and finished products may produce a volume of freight exceeding that typically generated by light industrials uses. As such, these uses are intended to be confined to a specific location or area where their existence will not adversely affect surrounding uses. Any outdoor storage of merchandise or finished products, raw materials or equipment shall be screened by opaque fencing as well as appropriate vegetative landscaping; however, it is recognized that the height of outdoor storage cannot be fully screened from public view and adjacent properties.
