This chapter provides regulations applicable to development and new land uses in the industrial zoning districts established by ordinance 1252. The purposes of individual industrial zoning districts are as follows:
A. IG (Industrial General) District: The IG district is intended for lands appropriate for light and medium manufacturing and industrial activities with direct access to major transportation routes, such as arterial roads, air and rail service. The IG district allows a wide range of manufacturing and industrial uses, which generate little traffic from tourists and the general public and are consistent with the Sandpoint comprehensive plan. Commercial uses are generally limited to accessory sales of goods produced on site. Residential use is very limited, with a single caretaker unit per property permitted.
B. IBP (Industrial Business Park) District: The IBP district is intended for master planned business and industrial parks in campus like settings. This district is suitable for administrative and professional offices, research and development parks, limited distribution, light and medium manufacturing, and assembly operations. Commercial and residential uses are generally permitted, although design standards mirroring the downtown commercial areas will apply in an effort to develop the area in alignment with the CA-4 definition of the comprehensive plan. CA-4 areas are to become vibrant secondary centers of commercial, office, and residential development, serving as neighborhood hubs for residents in neighboring districts. The IBP zoning district is consistent with the land use category of the Sandpoint comprehensive plan in areas generally south of Baldy Mountain Road.
C. ITP (Industrial Technology Park) District: The ITP district is intended for lands suitable for technology production and development, such as data centers, medical imaging processing, business incubators, biotechnology, software development, engineering, and similar technology related industry. Sites appropriate for this designation should have readily available utilities and fiber optic availability and be characterized by large contiguous properties. The ITP district is consistent with the Sandpoint comprehensive plan. (Ord. 1252, 4-20-2011)
