In order to promote the area and development of the City of
Charleston, it is necessary that certain areas within the City be
designated as industrial areas and that the use permitted in such
industrial areas not be permitted in any other locations in the City

For the purposes set forth above and for other purposes the
City Council of the City of Charleston hereby establishes the following

It is the purpose of this chapter to allow and authorize industrial
activity within the areas defined above and to prohibit industrial
development in all other areas within the City limits of the City
of Charleston not specifically included in the above descriptions.
The City Council of the City of Charleston, Arkansas, reserves
the right, power and authority to amend this chapter when determined
necessary and in the best interest of the citizens of the City of
Charleston and any person seeking change of this chapter shall petition
the City Council in the same manner as other like matters may be petitioned.
It has been determined by the City Council of the City of Charleston,
Arkansas, that containment of industrial development within the City
of Charleston is necessary for the preservation of the peace, health,
safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Charleston and therefore
an emergency is hereby declared and this chapter will take effect
and be in force from and after its passage and publication.
