(A) Statement of intent. The provisions of the I-1 District are intended to provide areas for commercial establishments that are relatively independent from adjacent commercial uses for spin-off business use, extensive outdoor storage or warehousing, require close access to major thoroughfares, generate truck traffic, or have similar characteristics which make them incompatible uses in the B Districts and more appropriate as neighbors of industrial uses; and, to establish and preserve, in a location and manner which benefits the city, industrial and related uses which are relatively free from objectionable influences and therefore are of a nature that they will not adversely affect surrounding areas.
(B) Permitted uses. The following uses are allowed with a duly authorized land use permit from the Zoning Administrator:
(1) Light manufacturing and similar-type industrial operations that are consistent with the purposes of this district. See § 151.159;

(10) Training facilities for high technology and manufacturing;

(12) Conference centers;

(C) Conditional uses. The following uses may be permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit by the City Council following the procedures outlined in §§ 151.240 of this chapter.
(1) Day care facilities as an accessory use to a primary permitted use; and
(2) Adult uses are subject to the following restrictions:

5. A public library;

(c) Adult use/principal activities are prohibited in establishments where liquor is served.
(d) Adult use/principal activities are prohibited at any place or event where minors are permitted.
