The purpose and intent of the industrial zones are as follows:
|
A. |
|
M-1--Light Manufacturing Zone. The purpose of the light manufacturing (M-1) zone is to provide areas in the city that allow for light industrial and heavy commercial types of activities; protect industrial areas from the intrusion of incompatible types of land uses; adhere to performance standards provided for the protection of city residents and the environment; and accommodate industrial employment opportunities for residents. The M-1 zone implements the industrial (I) land use designation in the general plan. |
|
|
|
B. |
|
M-2--Heavy Manufacturing. The purpose of the heavy manufacturing (M-2) zone is to provide for the development of a full range of compatible industrial uses and to provide for the design and operation of these uses in a manner which is physically attractive, does not conflict with other uses in or surrounding the district, and is compatible with the physical environment of the district. The M-2 zone implements the industrial (I) land use designation in the general plan. |

(Ord. 24-01 §2(Exh. A-1)).
17.14.020 Industrial zones land use regulations.
A. Table 17.14-1 Land Use Regulations--Industrial Zones. Table 17.14-1 (Land Use Regulations--Industrial Zones) establishes the uses allowed within each industrial zone and any permits required to establish the use.
B. Uses Not Listed. Land uses not listed in Table 17.14-1 (Land Use Regulations--Industrial Zones) are not allowed, in compliance with Section 17.04.030 (Uses not classified).
C. Additional Regulations. The right-hand column in Table 17.14-1 (Land Use Regulations--Industrial Zones) indicates additional regulations that may apply to the use. Provisions in other sections of this zoning code may also apply.
D. Allowed Uses. The allowed uses established in Table 17.14-1 (Land Use Regulations--Industrial Zones) shall be allowed in the subject zones to the extent that the following conditions are not associated with the use:
1. The use does not involve the disposal of wastewater which, due to its content or flow, will have a significant impact on the city wastewater treatment plant; and
2. The use would place a significant demand on the city’s water system. The term "significant" shall be determined by the city engineer after a review of the use’s water demand and wastewater treatment requirements.
E. Twenty-Four-Hour Uses. Any nonresidential use established in Table 17.14-1 (Land Use Regulations--Industrial Zones) that is proposed to operate twenty-four hours a day, and is located within three hundred feet of a residential zone boundary line, shall require the approval of a conditional use permit. For the purpose of this subsection, this distance shall be measured in a straight line from the property line of the parcel in which the twenty-four-hour use is to be proposed to the nearest point on the adjacent residential zone boundary line.
F. Above Ground Fuel and Gas Tanks. Above ground fuel and gas storage tanks shall require the approval of a conditional use permit.
