A. General: This district accommodates both light and heavy industrial uses in the rural areas that may be unsightly or have higher potential for nuisance to any adjoining residential areas. It is intended to protect land that has access to water or rail transportation that are critical to many of these uses.
B. Character: There is no specific character to this district in Grundy County, as many sites in the unincorporated area are expansive. Buildings and structures, exterior storage, and uses that are basically machines (concrete mixing, for example) are often unsightly. In many cases, uses within this district must be buffered from views by existing residential areas outside of the district by extensive landscape buffers. Open spaces are required for on site or shared stormwater detention and treatment areas.
C. Uses: This district is intended to provide for light and heavy industrial uses that are unsightly or have nuisance potential. Very large buildings, both in height and area, are also restricted to this district. These uses are generally poor neighbors to residential areas.
D. Infrastructure: Water and sewer service is provided on site. (Ord. 10-001, 1-12-2010)
