Three Industrial zoning districts are established by this chapter
as follows:
A. The IG
General Industrial District provides sites for the full range of manufacturing,
industrial processing, resource and energy production, general service,
and distribution.
B. The IL
Limited Industrial District provides sites for moderate-to low-intensity
industrial uses, commercial services and light manufacturing.
C. The RT
Research and Technology District provides sites for manufacturing,
research and development, technology, and professional offices in
addition to traditional industrial uses.
These three districts will herein be referred to as the "Industrial
Districts."

In the following schedules, letter designations are used as
follows:

"L" designates use classifications subject to certain limitations
prescribed by the "Additional Provisions" that follow.

a conditional use permit by the Planning Commission.
"ZA" designates use classifications permitted on approval of

for buildings exceeding 25 feet in height (one foot for each foot
of height) and for buildings exceeding 150 feet in length (one foot
for each 10 feet of building length) up to a maximum setback of 30

side yard is a minimum of 30 feet.
Exception. The Zoning Administrator or
Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit to allow
a 15-foot interior side yard opposite a zero-side yard on one lot,
if an abutting side yard at least 15 feet wide is provided and access
easements are recorded ensuring a minimum 30-foot separation between
buildings. This 30-foot accessway must be maintained free of obstructions
and open to the sky, and no opening for truck loading or unloading

This report shall include recommended noise mitigation measures for the industrial use to ensure that noise levels will conform with Chapter
8.40 of the Municipal Code. The Director may waive this requirement for change of use or addition or exterior alteration to an existing use if it can be established that there had been no previous noise offense, that no outside activities will take place, or if adequate noise mitigation measures for the development are provided.
(M) Group
residential or accessory residential uses shall be subject to standards
for minimum setbacks and height of the RH District.

be practiced so as to prevent nuisance, health, safety and fire hazards.
Any hazardous waste shall be stored in a closed container.
8. Vibration. Vibration transmitted through the ground shall
not be produced with the exception of vibration from temporary uses,
i.e. construction and vehicles entering and exiting.
9. Location of Measurements. Measurements for determining compliance
with the standards of this Section shall be taken at the lot line
of the establishment or use that is the source of a potentially objectionable
condition, hazard, or nuisance.
