3.04.11 I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

A. District Description:

This industrial district is established to provide areas in which the principal use of land is for light manufacturing and assembly plants, processing, storage, warehousing, and distribution. It is the intent that permitted uses are conducted so that most of the noise odor, dust, and glare of each operation is confined within an enclosed building. These industries may require direct access to rail or street transportation routes; however, the size and volume of the raw materials and finished products involved should not produce the volume of freight generated by uses of the heavy industrial district. These regulations are intended to prevent friction between uses within the district and also between adjoining commercial or residential uses.

NO NEW I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT SHALL BE CREATED WHICH

CONTAINS LESS THAN FIVE (5) ACRES, UNLESS THE PROPOSED

DISTRICT IS ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

B. Uses Permitted:

The following uses and their accessory uses shall be permitted in the I-1 Light Industrial District:

1. Any retail establishment which includes the manufacturing of goods for sale at retail on the premises.

2. Tire recapping or retreading.

3. Repair or service facilities, including but not limited to, automobile repair, appliance repair, machine shops, cabinet shops, carpentry, plumbing, and welding.

4. Contractors or construction equipment dealers including building materials yard.

5. Grain or feed storage or processing.

6. Heating fuel or building material storage or wholesaling.

7. Warehousing to include mini-storage and climate controlled personal storage units.

8. Radio or television tower.
