District Name	Abbreviation & Map Symbol
Mixed Light Industrial	MLI
General Industrial	GI

§ 190-22.2 Purpose and intent.

Mixed Light Industrial (MLI). The purpose of the MLI District is to allow for the continuance of low-impact, light industrial activity alongside residential, institutional, and commercial uses, fostering a unique mixed use environment. With future investment this District will increase employment, commerce, and housing opportunities while celebrating Lockport's industrial history and development. To accomplish this, the MLI District also supports creative redevelopment efforts of Lockport's older, underutilized industrial properties with proximity to downtown. Investment in the MLI District should seek to achieve the following objectives:

(1)

Cultivate a walkable, mixed-use environment that allows residents to live, work, and play in the same area.

(2)

Foster innovation and creativity in the adaptive reuse of existing buildings and sites.

(3)

Support the diversity of housing options within the City.

(4)

Contribute to the City's economic base by redeveloping vacant or underutilized spaces.

(5)

Allow for the continued operations of light industrial uses in enclosed structures, provided such uses do not generate a high level of vehicular traffic, activity, noise, odors, or light or otherwise negatively impact resident quality of life.

General Industrial (GI). The purpose of the GI District is to accommodate a wider variety of industrial activities, which may have a greater intensity of operation than industrial uses permitted in the MLI District. The GI District recognizes existing large-scale manufacturing and heavy industrial activities that play an important role in the City's economy, leveraging areas where public utilities, rail lines, and adequate transportation facilities are available. Uses in the GI District should employ techniques to minimize negative impacts on adjacent nonindustrial uses.

§ 190-22.3 Use lists.

Uses identified with a "P" are permitted as-of-right, subject to compliance with all other applicable standards of this chapter.

Uses identified with a "SP" may be allowed with the issuance of a special use permit in accordance with Article 43.
