4.7.30. HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONE (I-2)

   This zone provides for industrial uses that are generally nuisances , making them incompatible with most other land use . These nuisances may be in the form of air pollutants; excessive noise, traffic, glare, or vibration; noxious odors; the use of hazardous materials; or unsightly appearance. Select other agriculture, civic, commercial, industrial, retail, storage, utility, and wholesaling uses may also be permitted.

(Am. Ord. 11328, 12/8/2015)

      2.   Land Use Classes

      Land Use Classes are listed below their respective Land Use Group header and are left justified in the Land Use column.

      3.   Land Use Types

      Land Use Types are listed below their associated Land Use Class in the Land Use column and are indented in from the Land Use Class label.

      4.   Accessory Land Use

      A permitted accessory land use is listed either:

         a.   Directly below its associated Land Use Class or Type and is labeled “[w]ith [insert use] as an accessory use ”;

         b.   At the end of the Land Use Group section when an accessory use (s) is permitted with every permitted use within a particular Land Use Group; or,

         c.   As a dedicated line item in a particular Land Use Group or at the end of a Permitted Use Table when a use(s) is a permitted accessory use to permitted land uses in multiple Land Use Groups.
