industrial uses and their related facilities. Appro-
priate standards for the various districts are
designed to assure compatibility with other simi-
lar uses. In the city, such factors as location,
availability of transportation, utilities and other
factors have combined to create a well-established
industrial base. In order to maintain quality
industrial development and to protect the health,
safety and welfare of the general public the spe-
cific purposes of industrial districts are:
(1) To provide sufficient space, at appropriate
locations, to meet the needs of the city's
projected requirements for all types of
distributive, industrial and related activ-
ities,;with due allowance for the need for
choice of suitable sites.
(2) To protect distributive, industrial and re-
lated activities, as well as residential and
related activities by providing for the sep-
aration of these uses; to ensure that ap-
propriate space needs for distributive and
industrial activities are available for pro-
hibiting the use of such space for residen-
tial purposes.
(3)
(4)
To restrict those industrial activities which
involve danger of fire, explosion, toxic or
noxious matter, radiation, smoke, dust or
other particulate matter, and other haz-
ards, or to create offensive noise, vibra-
tion, heat, humidity, glare and other ob-
jectionable influences, to areas where this
chapter restricts the emission of such
nuisances, without regard to the indus-
trial products or processes involved.
To protect industrial activities and re-
lated developments against congestion, as
appropriate for each area, by limiting the
bulk of buildings in relation to the land
around them and to one another, and by
requiring off-street parking and loading
facilities to be provided with such devel-
opments.
(5) To promote the most desirable use of land
and direction of building development, to
promote stability of industrial and related
development, to strengthen the economic
base of the city to protect the character of
Supp. No. 26 2337
§ 36-319
these districts and their peculiar suitabil-
ity for particular uses, and to conserve the
value of land and buildings.
(Code 1961, Ch. 43, § 7-104(a)) ,
Sec. 36-317. Districts.
The I industrial district is hereby subdivided
into three (3) subordinate districts which are
known as:
(1) I-1 industrial park district.
(2) I-2 light industrial district.
(3) I-3 heavy industrial district.
(Code 1961, Ch. 43, § 7-104(b))
Sec. 36-318. District restrictions.
Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
section, the following restrictions shall apply to
the industrial districts:
(1) Any lighting visible from outside the site
shall be designed to reflect away from
adjacent residential districts. No noise,
odor or vibration shall be emitted so that
it constitutes a nuisance which substan-
tially exceeds the general level of noise,
odor or vibration emitted by uses adjacent
to or immediately surrounding the site.
Such comparisons shall be made at the
boundaries of the site.
(2) Outdoor storage of trash receptacles shall
be at the sides or rear of the site and shall
be totally encircled or screened by a fence,
planting or other suitable visual barrier.
(3) Landscaping of all vehicular use areas
shall be in compliance with chapter 15,
article N
(Code 1961, Ch. 43, § 7-104(c); Ord. No. 15,832, §

Sec. 36-319. I-1 industrial park district
(a) Purpose and intent. The I-1 industrial park
district is established to provide for modern, effi-
cient, and well-designed industrial facilities within
a "park -like" setting. As the city's most restrictive
industrial district, the I-1 zone is designed to
conform to high development standards while
providing for a full array of industrial and related

uses. This section applies to such district. -The
siting of buildings, parking, landscaping and the
location of this district in relation to adjacent
residential and: commercial areas will be of par-
ticular importance in determining the appropri-
ateness of allowing the I-1 district at a given
location. Stringent enclosure, screening and
locational requirements are applied to storage
areas of materials and merchandise.

cifically provided in this section, the following

within such wall or fence from observa-
tion. No exterior storage area shall en-
croach into any of the required yards.
(3) All buildings shown on the required site
plan shall cover an aggregate area of not
more than fifty (50) percent of such site.

(a) .purpose and intent. The I-2 light industrial
district is designed to accommodate a wide range
of industrial and related uses which conform to

ments of this type may either be located in exten-
sive areas devoted solely to these uses or may
provide a buffer between commercial districts and
other industrial uses which involve more objec-
tionable influences. This section applies to such
district. A primary objective of this district is the
reservation of sufficient land at appropriate loca-
tions to accommodate both present and proposed
needs of the city for industrial development. Res-
idential development is excluded from this dis-
trict, both to protect residents from an undesir-
able environment and to facilitate maximum
efficiency of industrial activity. Community facil-
ities and convenience trade establishments which
provide needed services to the industrial uses are
allowed in this district.
(b) Development criteria.
(1) Uses shall be provided entirely within
enclosed buildings. Outdoor storage of
equipment, materials or merchandise, how-
ever, is allowed provided they are screened
by a six-foot opaque barrier, except when
such merchandise consists of airplanes,

trailers or motor homes, motorcycles, buses
or trucks or wheeled or tracked industrial
vehicles. In those instances where the
