INDUSTRIAL (I) ZONE
Sections:
11.55.030 Development standards.
11.55.050 Operating standards.
11.55.060 Other applicable regulations.
11.55.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the industrial (I) zone is to provide standards for the location of industrial uses which require large lot area to function and may create a greater degree of hazard or annoyance than would be permitted in any other use district. Typical uses in this zone include, but are not limited to, fabrication, assembly, manufacturing or processing. The zoned industrial areas take advantage of rail and highway access points and use fencing and landscaped screens to help buffer the uses from residential, public and commercial land uses. In addition, design standards are incorporated into the code to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.101, 2001).
11.55.020 Uses.
Table 11.15.020 describes uses that are permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited in the industrial zone. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.102, 2001).

11.55.040 Site plan review.
The development of any lot in the industrial zone requires prior approval of a site plan review consistent with Chapter 11.190 RCC. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.104, 2001).

A. The following provisions shall apply to all uses within this zone:
1. Storage, handling, and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices shall comply with the Uniform Fire Code.
2. Sound levels shall not exceed levels established by noise control regulations of the Department of Labor and Industries. Maximum permissible environmental noise levels to be emitted to adjacent properties are not to exceed levels of the environmental designations for noise abatement (EDNA) as established by the state of Washington, Department of Ecology (WAC 173-60-040).
3. Pollution standards set up by regional, state or federal pollution control commissions or boards shall apply to all uses.
4. There shall be no production of odor, dust, heat, glare, or vibration perceptible beyond the property lines of the site on which the odor, dust, heat, glare, spill light or vibration is being generated. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.105, 2001).
