Industrial, Light Zone

This is an industrial zone intended to create and preserve areas for industrial uses that are largely devoid of exterior nuisances in close proximity to airports and highways. Permitted uses are largely devoid of exterior nuisance factors, such as noise, glare, air and water pollution, and fire and safety hazards on adjacent non-industrial property, and do not have an exceptional demand on public facilities. These types of industrial uses typically involve the manufacture of finished products from pre-fabricated materials, product wholesaling, and material storage. Buffering measures to reduce the impact of industrial uses on nearby residential uses may be required. While industrial and commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed, vehicle service stations with petroleum products and entertainment businesses with adult-only activities are also permitted uses, and a variety of maintenance and repair shops with hazardous materials are also conditionally permitted uses. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for light industrial uses with direct access on an arterial street, design standards for greater truck traffic, and buffers for non-industrial uses.
