It is the purpose of the P-I Planned Industrial
Zone to provide a parklike setting for a community of industries wishing
to mutually maintain aesthetically pleasing appearances and operations
having no nuisance factors as a means of protecting investments within
the zone and reducing the impact of industrial uses on surrounding
zones. Tracts within the district are to be planned, promoted and
developed for industries within the protection of performance standards
herein provided
A. The following objectives are sought in providing for
the one or more types of industrial zoning in the Planned Industrial
Zone:
(1) To provide a more attractive and varied showcase location
on tracts of land generally open to constant and extensive public
viewing in the City than would be possible through the strict applications
of industrial Euclidean zonal district requirements.
(2) To encourage developers to use a more creative approach
in the development of land.
(3) To encourage more efficient allocation and maintenance
of common open space in industrial areas through private initiative.
(4) To encourage variety in the physical development patterns
of industrial areas.
B. The fact that an application complies with all specific
requirements and purposes set forth herein shall not be deemed to
create a presumption that the application is, in fact, compatible
with surrounding land uses and, in itself, shall not be sufficient
to require the granting of any application.
