17.33.010 Purposes and intent.

This zone is designed to implement the city’s general plan industrial (I) land use designation. The purposes and intent of the district are:

To provide for manufacturing, processing, assembly, storage, distribution and other businesses including those that may require outdoor storage and including auto repair facilities and similar heavy industrial uses. Generally, uses under this designation may be incompatible with other land uses due to noise, appearance, traffic, odors or similar characteristics. Light industrial uses that may be compatible with other land uses will generally be in the business attraction and expansion (BAE) zoning district.

Generally, land zoned industrial will be concentrated in industrial parks isolated from other land uses by topography, major thoroughfares or other natural barriers. Industrial land uses will be in areas that are not highly visible from State Route 4, State Route 49 or other major thoroughfares. Those areas designated for industrial use that are visible from major transportation routes shall require appropriate screening to reduce visibility. Given the concentrated nature of development in the city and potential for land uses incompatible with neighboring properties, the extensive development of new heavy industrial uses is expected to be limited. (Ord. 509 §4 (Att. C), 2021; Ord. 270 (part), 1984)
