The I Industrial Districts set forth in this Zoning Code are established to accomplish the general purpose of this Planning and Zoning Code as stated in Chapter 1202, and to achieve the following objectives:
(a) To establish I-1 Administrative Office, Industrial Research, and Special Non- manufacturing District so as to accommodate and encourage the grouping of professional, research, administrative, and light industrial uses which are usually controlled operations. It is intended that permitted uses are uses that operate with a minimum of smoke, noise, odor, dust, glare, vibration, air and water pollution, or fire and safety hazard, and that are not considered likely to cause a nuisance. Uses permitted in the I-1 District are expected to have operational and physical characteristics that do not detrimentally affect surrounding zoning districts and all aspects of these uses are to be conducted within enclosed structures.
(b) To establish the I-2 Industrial Manufacturing District so as to provide for those industrial and manufacturing uses which may utilize products, materials, and/or processes that create smoke, noise, odor, dust, fumes, glare, or other objectionable characteristics, but the impacts of which are controlled in compliance with permitted uses, performance standards, and setback and screening requirements. In order to ensure that the objectives of this district are achieved, outdoor activities, including storage, are permitted only as a conditional use.

(c) To promote the most desirable and beneficial use of the land and to bring about eventual conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and other plans of the City.
(Ord. 24-97. Passed 10-14-97.)
(d) To establish reasonable and uniform regulations to minimize and control the negative secondary effects of adult entertainment businesses within the City in order to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Olmsted Falls. Nevertheless, the provisions herein do not have the purpose of intent of imposing unreasonable limitations or restrictions on the content of any communicative materials or any communication, including adult entertainment businesses. Similarly, it is not the purpose or intent of this Zoning Ordinance to restrict or deny adults access to adult entertainment businesses protected by the First Amendment, or to deny distributors and exhibitors of adult entertainment businesses access to their intended market. Furthermore, it is not the intent of this regulation to condone or legitimize the distribution or exhibition of entertainment that is obscene. (Ord. 75-2005. Passed 10-11-05.)
