A. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the industrial (IN) zoning district is to designate areas in the industrial land use district of the general plan that are appropriate for accommodating areas for the production, repairing, distribution and warehousing of goods and equipment that may involve the use or storage of hazardous materials or that may produce visible gases, particulates, steam heat, odor, dust or excessive noise. It is the intent of the IN zoning district to accommodate those uses that are found to be inappropriate in other locations based on the incompatibility with surrounding uses and the potential for greater impacts on the environment.

Also, it is appropriate for accommodating a limited group of business, professional, research and technical, light manufacturing, light industrial, and commercial uses whose operations are clean and quiet and provide an innovative, spacious, and creative design, in a planned setting, with extensive landscaping or open space.

1. Loading bays and doors: Loading bays and roll-up doors shall not be located on any building face adjacent to a street frontage. Such bays and doors may be located on the side of a building away from a street frontage only where proposed on-site screening and fencing will be adequate to minimize the visibility from the view of any street.

1. Minimum lot size: two acres.

2. Minimum lot width: 200 feet.

3. Maximum building height: 40 feet. Maximum building height may be increased when project features required as environmental health or safety mitigation measures.

4. Maximum lot coverage: No more than 75 percent of the area of the site shall be covered by buildings, structures, or other impervious surfacing or materials. The remainder of the site shall be permanently maintained as naturally vegetated open space, landscaped areas, drainage retention/detention facilities, and/or wetland or wildlife preserve areas.

5. Floor area ratio: No more than 50 percent of lot area shall be covered by the buildings, structures or facilities.

9. Caretaker’s quarters for security personnel: Caretaker’s units shall not be used for employee housing, no separate water or sewer connections from the permitted uses are allowed, the size is limited to 1,200 square feet.
