Light Manufacturing Zone

The Light Manufacturing (M1) zone is established to provide areas in the City where light manufacturing firm can engage in processing, assembling, manufacturing, warehousing, and storage; and for incidental service facilities and public facilities to serve the manufacturing area. The zone is intended to encourage sound development by providing and protecting an environment for such development, subject to regulations necessary to assure the orderly growth of the City of Provo, and the protection of residential and commercial land uses from noise and other disturbances. This zone is to be characterized by flat, open land suited for industrial uses because of the proximity to major transportation routes and the availability of utilities necessary for successful manufacturing or processes. The areas in which this zone will be applied may provide for land reserves for industrial and manufacturing use. Representative of the uses within the zone are light manufacturing, fabrication, processing, storage warehousing, and wholesale distribution. Uses which generate excessive noise, vibration, smoke, odor, dust, fumes, or danger of explosion have been excluded from this zone. The basic objectives of the M1 zone are: to provide space for light manufacturing and processing uses within the City in appropriate locations and to discourage uses from locating within this zone which will tend to deteriorate light manufacturing environment, and thwart the use of land for light industrial purposes; to broaden the tax base and improve the economic base of the community; to promote new industry to the end that the economic and social well-being of the City and its inhabitants shall be enhanced; and to discourage the undesirable mixture of incompatible commercial, industrial, and residential uses.
