NOTE: The above requirements do not preclude the establishment of more stringent restrictions for Conditional Uses or individual permitted uses where conditions may warrant.
(A) Light Industrial (I-1).
(1) Purpose. The purpose of the I-1 District is to encourage the development of manufacturing and wholesale establishments which are clean, quiet, and free of hazardous or objectionable elements, operate entirely within enclosed structures, and generate little industrial traffic. This district is further designed to act as a transitional use between heavy manufacturing uses and less intensive uses such as business or residential.
(2) Permitted Uses. A complete listing of permitted uses is provided in Appendix C, Use Matrix. Certain permitted uses have special restrictions listed in division (A)(3) of this section.
(3) Uses Permitted with Restrictions. The following uses are permitted in this district provided that they meet the restrictions below.
(a) Retail Sales. Retail sales shall be permitted as an accessory use to the primary industrial use, provided such uses are located within the principal building and occupy no more than 20% of its net floor area.
(4) Conditional Uses. Conditional uses are permitted when authorized by the Board of Zoning Appeals after a public hearing subject to § 159.042. The conditional uses that may be permitted are listed in Appendix C, Use Matrix.
(5) Bulk Requirements. The bulk requirements which apply to all Industrial Districts are listed within Table 7.
(6) Outdoor Storage. Outdoor storage shall be permitted only as an accessory use to the primary use on the same lot or tract of land.
(a) Outdoor storage areas shall not encroach into any minimum required yard setback, drainage easement, public right-of-way, a fire land, parking area or maneuvering aisle.
(b) All outdoor storage areas shall provide a solid, opaque wall or fence of not less than seven feet in height measured at the highest finished grade to screen the view from any adjacent property or right-of-way.
(c) All outdoor storage shall be located behind the rear line of the principal building or structure and shall not front on any public right-of-way.
(d) A chain link fence or a variation of a chain link fence combination shall not constitute an acceptable screening device to satisfy the requirements of this section.
(e) Materials stored behind any screening wall or fence shall be stacked no higher than one foot below the top of the wall or fence. Vehicles, trailers, mobile machinery, or equipment shall be stored in their lowest elevation. No vehicle, trailer, mobile machinery, or equipment shall be used for nor constitute permanent storage.
(f) Maintenance of the wall or fence shall be the responsibility of the property owner and/or tenant and shall be maintained to create a visual screen.
(7) Fencing. Fencing for either outside storage or fencing of the real estate shall require that a fence permit be issued prior to installation as set forth in § 159.121(D)(5)(e).
(B) Heavy Industrial (I-2).
(1) Purpose. The purpose of the I-2 District is to encourage the development of major manufacturing, processing, warehousing, and major research and testing operations. These activities require extensive community facilities and reasonably good access to major thoroughfares and the interstate system. They may also have extensive open storage and service areas and may generate heavy industrial-type traffic, but shall be prohibited if they create nuisances beyond the limitations of this chapter.
(2) Permitted Uses. A complete listing of permitted uses is provided in Appendix C, Use Matrix.
(3) Uses Permitted with Restrictions. There are currently no permitted uses in the I-2 district which require special restrictions.
(4) Conditional Uses. Conditional uses are permitted when authorized by the Board of Zoning Appeals after a public hearing subject to § 159.042. The conditional uses that may be permitted are listed in Appendix C, Use Matrix.
(5) Bulk Requirements. The bulk requirements which apply to all Industrial Districts are listed within Table 7.
(6) Fencing. Fencing for either outside storage or fencing of the real estate shall require that a fence permit be issued prior to installation as set forth in § 159.121(D)(5)(e).
(C) Extractive Industrial (I-3).
(1) Purpose. The purpose of the I-3 District is to provide land for the mining, excavating, processing, and storage of mineral resources. This district is designed to assure that these resources be properly managed and that all land be reclaimed so as not to create a hazard or nuisance which either immediately or in the future affects the health, safety, or general welfare of the community. This case would also be of conditional use status. Since what is now agricultural farmland might one day be exploited as a mineral resource for extraction, it would require either a rezoning or special exception permit. Also, after reclamation, a rezoning to a more usable classification would be in order.
(2) Permitted Uses. A complete listing of permitted uses is provided in Appendix C, Use Matrix. Certain permitted uses have special restrictions listed in division (C)(3) of this section.
(3) Uses Permitted with Restrictions. The following uses are permitted in this district provided that they meet the restrictions below.
(a) Excavation.
1. Before any excavation is begun, there shall be a plan on file with and approved by both the State Department of Natural Resources and the Plan Commission for both excavation and reclamation activities.
2. Any excavation shall be carried on in such a manner so as not to disturb any land or properties immediately adjacent to the property on which the excavation is being accomplished. In particular, no excavation shall take place within 100 feet of the property line.
3. Any excavation shall be surrounded by a fence not less than seven feet high.
4. No excavation shall take place by use of explosives.
(4) Conditional Uses. Conditional uses are permitted when authorized by the Board of Zoning Appeals after a public hearing subject to § 159.042. The conditional uses that may be permitted are listed in Appendix C, Use Matrix.
(5) Bulk Requirements. The bulk requirements which apply to all Commercial Districts are listed within Table 6.
(6) Outdoor storage. Outdoor storage shall be permitted only as an accessory use to the primary use on the same lot or tract of land.
(a) Outdoor storage areas shall not encroach into any minimum required yard setback, drainage easement, public right-of-way, a fire lane, parking area or maneuvering aisle.
(b) All outdoor storage areas shall provide a solid, opaque wall or fence including chain-link or vinyl coated chain-link fence with slats of not less than seven feet in height measured at the highest finished grade to screen the view from any adjacent property or right-of-way.
(c) All outdoor storage shall be located behind the rear line of the principal building or structure and shall not front on any public right-of-way.
(d) Materials stored behind any screening wall or fence shall be stacked no higher than one foot below the top of the wall or fence. Vehicles, trailers, mobile machinery, or equipment shall be stored in their lowest elevation. No vehicle, trailer, mobile machinery, or equipment shall be used for nor constitute permanent storage.
(e) Maintenance of the wall or fence shall be the responsibility of the property owner and/or tenant and shall be maintained to create a visual screen.
