The purpose of the Materials Processing and Storage (MPS) Overlay Zone is to accommodate the processing and storage of bulk materials in the underlying Light Industrial Manufacturing (LIM) Zone while minimizing potential adverse effects of the outside use to adjacent property owners and the surrounding community and paying special attention to the visual aesthetics associated with the use.

Where conflicts exist between the provisions of the Materials Processing and Storage Overlay and the underlying Light Industrial Manufacturing Zone, the regulations of the Materials Processing and Storage Overlay shall supersede the requirements of the underlying LIM Zone.
(Ord. 26-2019 § 1, 12/10/2019)
(1) 
The MPS Overlay Zone may only be applied to the LIM Zone located east of 950 West, South of 1600 South, and West of SR 51.
