17.40.030 Area requirements.
No minimum property size required. Nevertheless, all uses, lots or parcels in the industrial zone shall be of sufficient size to assure compliance with the city’s development regulations.
All developments in the district are required to submit a master site plan, predevelopment, in accordance with provisions in Chapter 17.100 EMMC. [Ord. O-40-2024 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.40.040 Setback requirements.
Developments on properties within the industrial zone shall comply with the setback requirements as set forth hereafter. In the case of uses requiring a special or conditional use permit, the planning commission may require greater setbacks than code minimums in order to mitigate potential compatibility conflicts between uses.

*In the event that the rear of a building faces an arterial or collector street, there shall be a setback of 50 feet. The city council, in consideration of a prior recommendation by the planning commission, may reduce this if in its judgment the reduction does not interfere with the use, enjoyment and character of adjacent properties. |
A. Other General Requirements. In addition to setback requirements in this section, no building shall be closer than 10 feet to any private road, driveway or parking space. The intent of this requirement is to provide for building foundation landscaping and to provide protection to the building. Exceptions may be made for any part of the building that may contain an approved drive-up window. [Ord. O-40-2024 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.40.050 Maximum building height.
No building in the industrial zone shall exceed five stories. Structures formerly within the BP zone shall not exceed three stories. [Ord. O-40-2024 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.40.060 Development standards.
The following development standards shall apply to the industrial zone:
A. Architectural Review. The planning commission shall review the site plan and building elevations to confirm compliance with any applicable industrial zone architectural design standards.
B. Landscaping. All landscaping shall be completed in accordance with the approved landscape plan and all city ordinances, and shall be installed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a/the building. The planning director may approve exceptions as seasonal conditions warrant. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain all approved landscaping in accordance with the approved site plan and in compliance with the city’s parking and landscaping requirements.
C. Uses Within Buildings. All uses in the industrial zone shall be conducted entirely within a fully enclosed building except those uses deemed by the planning commission and city council to be customarily and appropriately conducted outside. Such uses include service stations, gas pumps, plant nurseries, home improvement material yards, automobile sales, etc. Outside storage of merchandise shall be accommodated entirely within an enclosed structure unless the planning commission and city council deem such storage to be customarily and appropriately conducted outside.
D. Trash Storage. No trash, used materials, wrecked or abandoned vehicles or equipment shall be stored in an open area. All such materials shall be kept within an opaque enclosure that is architecturally compatible with the main building. Garbage dumpsters shall be located out of sight and away from major roads within enclosures if they would otherwise be visible to/from public view.
E. Screening Requirement(s). A wall, fence and/or landscaping of acceptable design shall effectively screen the borders of any commercial or industrial lot which abuts an agricultural or residential use. Such a wall, fence or landscaping shall be at least six feet in height, unless a wall or fence of a different height is required by the city council in consideration of a prior recommendation by the planning commission as part of a site plan review. Such wall, fence or landscaping shall be maintained in good condition with no advertising thereon, except as permitted by the city’s signage regulations.
F. Moving and Storage Facilities Standards. Commercial moving vehicles shall:
1. Be parked upon an improved parking area within designated parking stalls – unless behind a screen wall or fence so as to not be visible from public view; and
2. Be located behind the front setback.
Vehicles located outside of a structure and in front of a wall or fence shall be located in a manner so as to not obstruct drive aisles, doors, or pedestrian pathways.
