(A) Purposes.
(1) In addition to the objectives prescribed in § 155.001, the I Industrial Districts are included in the zoning ordinance to achieve the following purposes:
(a) To reserve appropriately located areas for industrial plants and related activities;
(b) To protect areas appropriate for industrial use from intrusion by dwellings and other inharmonious uses;
(c) To protect residential and commercial properties and to protect nuisance-free, nonhazardous industrial uses from noise, odor, insect nuisance, dust, dirt, smoke, vibration, heat and cold, glare, truck and rail traffic, and other objectionable influences, and from fire, explosion, noxious fumes, radiation, and other hazards incidental to certain industrial uses;
(d) To provide opportunities for certain types of industrial plants to concentrate in mutually beneficial relationship to each other;
(e) To provide adequate space to meet the needs of modern industrial development, including off-street parking and truck loading areas and landscaping;
(f) To provide sufficient open space around industrial structures to protect them from the hazard of fire and to minimize the impact of industrial plants on nearby residential and on other nearby districts; and
(g) To minimize traffic congestion and to avoid the overloading of utilities by preventing the construction of buildings of excessive size in relation to the amount of land around them.
(Ord. 1992-10, § 700, passed 3-18-1993)
(2) Special purposes of IL District. The IL Light Industrial District is intended to accommodate light manufacturing, wholesale and research establishments. The IL District may be located in various areas throughout the community and may be in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and not be detrimental to residential uses because of its limited nature. While most often applied to areas where the location of particular industries has no direct relationship to other nearby business or industrial districts, it may also be formed as an adjunct to these established districts.
(Ord. 1992-10, § 700.1, passed 3-18-1993)
(3) Special purposes of the IG District. The IG General Industrial District is intended to accommodate those manufacturing and industrial uses which may not or cannot meet the performance standards of the IL District yet do not have the objectionable influences of those uses found in the H District. The IG District should not, where possible, be located in close proximity to an R District.
(Ord. 1992-10, § 700.2, passed 3-18-1993)
(4) Special purpose of the IH District. The purpose of the IH District is to accommodate those heavier manufacturing and other industrial uses which have objectionable influences, but which, nevertheless, should be provided for somewhere in the community. The IH District is, insofar as possible, applied to locations removed from the R Districts on the basis of linear distance or natural or manmade features.
(Ord. 1992-10, § 700.3, passed 3-18-1993)
