SECTION 26
1 -1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
(As amended by Ordinance No. 480 -LLLL)
26.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT - This zoning district is envisioned to accommodate industrial,
manufacturing, fabrication, wholesale and storage activities of a low intensity industrial or
manufacturing character. This district has been established to accommodate the location of
those uses that are clearly industrial in character, but whose operation does not generate
significant negative environmental impacts for surrounding properties. Land uses which will
generally be found within this district will be a mixture of uses involving fabrication,
manufacturing, assembly, processing, distribution, sale of and repair of materials, goods,
parts, products, equipment, machinery, and other such operations incidental to industrial
uses. These sites are not designed to be located contiguous to residentially zoned
properties and should be located in such a manner as to preclude the necessity to transit
through residentially zoned areas to reach these sites. This zoning district classification
shall be located in those areas designed to accommodate industrial development by the
provision of appropriate supporting utility infrastructure and with appropriate access to
arterial level thoroughfares designed to accommodate industrial level traffic. This zoning
category is not appropriate for environmentally sensitive areas.
