§ 21-110

General requirements; permitted and prohibited uses

  • (a) Property and buildings to be used for industrial purposes shall be so designed and laid out as to minimize disturbance to adjacent property by such features as buffer fences, planting, suitably located points of traffic ingress and egress, and areas for loading and parking. It is the intent of this section to also provide the necessary protection for industry from other neighboring uses and to provide assurances of continued legal operation to industrial uses. The primary vehicle used to achieve these goals will be the establishment and use of performance standards.

  • (b) All uses permitted in industrial zones shall conform with performance standards in this section. These shall include uses involving the processing, assembly and fabrication of materials; accessory uses; wholesaling and warehousing; public utilities; research facilities; corporate offices; shipping; and the extraction of natural resources.

  • (c) A solid waste management facility shall be a prohibited use in an industrial zone.
