There is hereby established a zone which shall hereinafter be
known as the "I-G general industrial zone," and which shall function
and serve as set out in this chapter.
(Prior code § 9205.15)
The intent and purpose of the I-G zone is to designate selected
areas within the city for providing a wide variety and range of heavy
manufacturing, the processing of limited raw materials, and large-scale
assembly establishments where the mixture of limited light industrial
uses would not be appropriate or compatible, and may include other
uses which by the nature and scope of operation more closely resemble
heavy industry.
(Prior code § 9205.15 (A))
A.
The
I-G zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the
implementation of the industrial land use element of the general plan.
It is a zone classification designed to be applied in those areas
of the community where large-scale industrial operations would be
best suited to carry out the mass production of goods and materials
and provide for an employment base vital to the city as a whole.
B.
Application
of the I-G zone need not be as definitive as the more-restrictive
industrial zones, but caution must be utilized to prevent the encroachment
of detrimental and nuisance industries that tend to create an undesirable
element that could adversely affect the community.
C.
The
I-G zone must also be protected from the tendency to oversaturate
industrial areas with smaller, more intimate uses that may have a
destroying effect on the intent and purpose of the zone classification.
(Prior code § 9205.15 (B))
Regulations governing permitted uses of land in the I-G zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.40 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.15 (C))
Regulations governing the development of property for uses in the I-G zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.42 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.15 (D))
Regulations governing off-street parking requirements for uses and development of property in the I-G zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.44 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.15 (E))
Regulations governing permitted signs and advertising for uses and developments of property in the I-G zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.46 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.15 (F))
