18.34.010 Purpose.

The purpose of the airport related industry (ARI) zone district is to regulate the use and development of land at or near the Olympia Airport to ensure that such uses are compatible with the operation of the airport and with neighboring residential uses. The use restrictions are designed to make the land available for industrial uses, aviation, office and commercial development. The Port of Olympia Airdustrial Park Land Use Plan should be referenced for specific guidelines for development in each of the ten land use districts outlined by the plan. Figure 18.34.010 indicates specific land uses, setbacks and building height restrictions for each land use district. The criteria listed in Figure 18.34.010 shall apply to each land use district indicated in the Port of Olympia Airdustrial Park Land Use Plan (Figure 18.34.020).
