§ 153.033 INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

   The districts designated for industry, I-1, I-2 and I-3, provide suitable space for existing industries and their expansion as well as for future industrial development and for specific intensive commercial uses. Performance standards, parking specifications and yard regulations are set forth in this chapter in order to ensure development that is generally compatible with adjacent uses and that includes specific design and operational elements to limit the negative impacts on adjacent and other nearby uses.
