(a) 
The I district is intended to serve the needs of manufacturing, fabrication, assembling, warehousing and wholesaling businesses. Because of the potential environmental problems inherent in manufacturing processes, stringent performance standards should apply to this district. It is hoped that industrial areas in the city reflect a campus orientation with large lot design and substantial landscaping. Screening and buffering standards should be incorporated to reduce the negative impact of the district’s land uses on abutting residential neighborhoods.
(b) 
The Columbus Industrial Development Corporation, a component unit of the city, is in the early developmental phases of the Texas Crossroads Park. This part has not attempted to address the zoning requirements of this or future industrial parks or projects. This part has merely instituted a definition of an industrial district and established the district’s location and use regulations.
