The purpose of the Heavy Industry (HI) District is to provide
designated locations where high-intensity industrial and other uses
can be located and their impacts managed. Industrial businesses create
jobs and improve the economic base; however, they generally create
impacts such as noise and traffic that make them incompatible with
residential and other uses. Suitable uses within the Heavy Industry
District include heavy manufacturing, truck terminals, and warehousing
and distribution facilities. Proximity to highway and rail access
is an important factor in locating these uses.
The bulk and area standards in the Heavy Industry District are set forth in Article
II, Tables 3 and 4.
