Reserve appropriately located areas for viable industrial uses and protect these areas from intrusion by family dwellings or other incompatible uses;
B. 
Protect residential and commercial uses from objectionable influences incidental to certain industrial uses;
C. 
Protect industrial uses and structures from hazard and to minimize the impact of industrial uses on the environment; and
D.

A. 
Industrial Zone (I). The Industrial (I) Zone applies to areas of the City appropriate for light industrial, manufacturing, and limited accessory uses, including outdoor uses.
