The light industrial district provides areas for light industrial uses and services requiring outdoor yards for storage or sales. Allowed uses generally do not have exterior nuisance factors such as noise, glare and industrial wastes. Buffers from other land uses or roadways may be required to result in less friction with other uses.
(Ord. 627 (part), 1999)
Minimum yard requirements in the M-1 district are as follows:
A. 
Front, fifteen (15) feet from property line;
B. 
Rear, five feet from property line;
C. 
Side, five feet from property line, except that side yards along flanking side streets (i.e., on corner lots) must be not less than fifteen (15) feet.
(Ord. 627 (part), 1999)
A. 
Where M-1 districts are adjacent to any residential zone, screening ten (10) feet wide is required to effectively buffer and screen the light industrial use from immediate adjoining properties.
B. 
The screening may consist of a continuous fence, wall, evergreen hedge, landscape planting, or combination of any of the above and must be maintained in good condition.
C. 
In cases where the physical characteristics of the parcel or surrounding parcels make actual screening from adjoining properties impossible or unreasonable, this requirement may be completely or partially waived by the city council after public hearing and review as required by variance process.
