The industrial districts are established to provide locations for land uses engaged in the production, processing, assembly, manufacturing, packaging, wholesaling, warehousing, or distribution of goods and materials. Regulations for the industrial districts are established to promote industrial development and to maintain and improve compatibility with surrounding areas. In addition to industrial uses, limited commercial uses, parking facilities, public services, and utilities are allowed. The industrial districts are as follows:
A. 
LI - Light Industrial District is intended to allow industrial operations and activities that do not create significant nuisances or hazards. The district is designed to include some retail and wholesale business, as well as warehousing, storage and limited, low intensive manufacturing uses.
B. 
HI - Heavy Industrial District is designed to accommodate high-intensity industry and often includes large structures, extensive exterior storage and exterior mechanical operations or heavy truck or equipment operations. It accommodates uses that require large sites and should be relatively remote from residential and business development.
A. 
In general. Table 7-1 lists all permitted and conditional uses allowed in the Industrial Districts.
B. 
Permitted uses. Uses specified with a "P" are permitted in the district or districts where designated, provided that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.
C. 
Conditional uses. Uses specified with a "C" are allowed as a conditional use in the district or districts where designated, provided that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.
D. 
Prohibited uses. Any use not listed as either "P" (permitted) or "C" (conditional) in a particular district or any use not determined by the Community Development Director or his/her designee to be substantially similar to a use listed as permitted or conditional shall be prohibited in that district. Such determination shall be made in the manner provided for in Part 500-200, Administration and Enforcement, governing determination of substantially similar uses.
E. 
Specific development standards. Permitted and conditional uses specified with an "x" under the Specific Development Standards column shall be subject to the standards identified in other areas of this chapter.
