§ 161.324 I-2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL.
   (A)   I-2 Land Use District Statement of Intent. This district is established to provide space for industrial and/or manufacturing and/or warehousing or storage operations which may require buildings and/or open area for fabricating, processing, extraction, repairing, dismantling or disposal or equipment, raw materials, manufactured products or wastes. Land designated for this district should be located in relation to the thoroughfare network of the community (including primarily streets as well as rail and air if required) and designed so as to not wholly disrupt normal traffic flow. Because of increasing technological developments, extensive lists of permitted and prohibited uses is impractical, therefore, to safeguard the public interest, performance standards are established herein as criteria for all permitted uses and as guidance for the City Council in permitting any conditional uses. Planned Industrial Parks are encouraged in this district.
