[Ord. No. 2000-46 §1(15-00), 4-10-2000]
It is the purpose of the "I-2" Industrial Manufacturing District
to create heavy industrial areas that will be acceptable within the
City and will not adversely affect adjacent business or residential
neighborhoods. Manufacturing establishments should not create offensive
noise, vibration, dust, heat, smoke, odor, glare or other objectionable
influences other than the minimum amount normally resulting from that
type of use, provided that they be minimized or eliminated by engineering
or site design features. In the interest of general health and welfare,
residential and certain institutional uses are not permitted within
this district.
[Ord. No. 2000-46 §1(15-01), 4-10-2000]
The general uses related to industrial, warehousing and processing
activities are permitted activities. Permitted activities must be
evaluated on the basis of the presence of objectionable features or
conditions likely to occur as a result of such an activity occurring
within an "I-2" Industrial Manufacturing District. See Land Use Matrix.
[Ord. No. 2000-46 §1(15-02), 4-10-2000]
The City Council shall have the responsibility of issuing conditional
use permits for activities which may pose a problem with respect to
noise, pollution, vibration or due to the injurious nature of a manufacturing
activity. All manufacturing activities that the Zoning Administrator,
City Health Officer, City Engineer or Chief of the Fire Department
deem as potentially hazardous to the citizens of Chillicothe shall
be required to obtain a special use permit prior to construction.
See Land Use Matrix.

[Ord. No. 2000-46 §1(15-04), 4-10-2000; Ord. No. 2014-40 §1, 8-11-2014]
A. The Planning and Zoning Commission may, at its discretion and based
upon recommendations from the Zoning Administrator, City Engineer,
City Health Officer or Chief of the Fire Department, require any or
all of the following special measures:
1.
Landscaping. All open areas of any site, lot,
tract or parcel shall be graded to provide proper drainage and, except
for areas used for parking, drives or storage shall be landscaped
with trees, shrubs or planted ground cover. Such landscaping shall
conform to the planting plan approved at the time the building permit
was issued. It shall be the owner's responsibility to see that this
landscaping is maintained in an attractive and well-kept condition.
All adjacent vacant lots, tracts or parcels under the same ownership
shall also be properly maintained.
2.
Screening. All principal, accessory and conditional
uses, except business signs which are situated within fifty (50) feet
of a residential district, shall be screened and buffered from such
district by a separation of open space which shall have a minimum
depth of thirty (30) feet and shall include a required fence or vegetative
screening of not less than ninety percent (90%) opacity and not less
than eight (8) feet in height above the level of the residential district
property at the district boundary. Walls or fences of lesser heights
or planting screens may be permitted by the Planning and Zoning Commission
if there is a finding that the nature or extent of the use being screened
is such that a lesser degree of screening will adequately promote
and protect the use and enjoyment of the properties within the adjacent
residential district or there is a finding that a screening of the
type required by this Chapter would interfere with the provision of
adequate amounts of light and air to same said properties. Loading
docks in the "I-2" industrial Manufacturing District shall be screened
so as not to be visible from any public street right-of-way within
a residential district. All required screening devices shall be designed
so that they are architecturally harmonious with the principal structures
on the site and they shall be properly maintained so as not to become
unsightly, hazardous or less opaque than when originally constructed.
3.
Storage. The storage of combustible or flammable
materials will be a minimum of two hundred (200) feet from any residential
district and conform to BOCA rules.
4.
Structure heights. Structure heights greater
than fifty (50) feet are permitted by variance only.
5.
All industrial uses shall provide adequate off-street parking
as determined by the City Planning and Zoning Commission.
6.
Business to be confined to owner lots. All
businesses, services and processing associated with businesses are
to be conducted on the primary lot owned or leased by the business,
without need for storage of inventory, vehicles or product of any
kind on City rights-of-way or on other (third-party) property.
