11-10-1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The M-1 and M-2 industrially zoned districts are intended and designed to provide for areas within the city deemed appropriate for value added and manufacturing processes of various intensities needed by the business and technology population of a local, state and national level while promoting the quality of life, health, and general welfare desired by the citizens of the city, all consistent with the comprehensive plan. The development will incorporate high quality materials in unique designs with substantial buffering and the incorporation of trees, shrubs, and other plant materials. It shall be generally recognized that the type of use is not so important as the manner in which the use is accomplished. It is intended that the district shall not be used indiscriminately to permit any use that could potentially be detrimental to the intent of this title. No use shall be permitted to be established or maintained which by reason of its nature or manner of operation is or may become hazardous, noxious or offensive owing to the emission of odor, dust, smoke, cinders, gas, fumes, vibrations, refuse matter or waste. The best practical means known for disposal of refuse material, the abatement of obnoxious or offensive odor, dust, smoke, gas, noise or similar nuisance shall be employed. (Ord. 876, 1-17-2008)
