A. 
Purpose. The purpose of the business/industrial district is to facilitate development of a diverse economy on the island with business retention, growth, and innovation. The district is intended to provide opportunities for knowledge-based businesses and expansion of Island businesses, for diversity of jobs, and for low-impact industrial activity that is compatible with adjoining residential neighborhoods. The B/I district was formerly called the light manufacturing (LM) district and is intended to implement comprehensive plan provisions related to light manufacturing uses. The B/I district encourages proper site planning and design of developments in order to minimize traffic congestion, visual impacts, environmental impacts, and other impacts and use conflicts within and beyond the district’s boundaries as enabled through development and performance standards.
B. 
Performance Standards. All uses allowed in the B/I district shall conform to the performance standards listed in BIMC § 18.06.050.B.
(Ord. 2011-02 § 2 (Exh. A), 2011; Ord. 2016-28 § 9, 2016; Ord. 2018-13 § 1, 2018)
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of the waterdependent industrial (WD-I) zone is to preserve elements of a working waterfront by providing urban shoreline areas intended primarily for commercial, public and recreational uses that require direct contact with the water and cannot exist at a nonwater location due to the intrinsic nature of the operation. Small boat facilities, water-related uses serving marine needs and marine recreational uses are allowed. Development in this zone that is also located within the shoreline jurisdiction must also meet the applicable standards of the Bainbridge Island shoreline management master program. It is a further purpose of this zone to require that development and uses employ best management practices and best available facilities practices and procedures that minimize impacts and protect affected land uses, or the natural environment, including marine wildlife habitat areas, from potential air, water, noise, visual or other forms of pollution, and to encourage public access to the water through waterfront trails and other means that provide both physical and visual access to the water.
B. 
Performance Standards. All uses allowed in the WD-I district shall conform to the performance standards listed in BIMC § 18.06.050 as well as the following:
1. 
Pollution. Pollution prevention and water quality protection shall be required of all development and operations of facilities that are located within the shoreline jurisdiction by employing current best management practices and best available facilities practices and procedures for marine facilities in accordance with Chapters 15.20 and 15.22 BIMC.
2. 
Noise. See BIMC § 18.06.030.B.1.
3. 
Lighting. Lighting standards set forth in BIMC § 18.15.040 shall apply to the WD-I district.
(Ord. 2011-02 § 2 (Exh. A), 2011; Ord. 2016-28 § 10, 2016)
A. 
Purpose. The Fort Ward historic overlay district is intended to recognize the historic nature of the Fort Ward area and maintain and integrate its historic elements into the community. BIMC § 18.24.110 identifies buildings of historic interest in the Fort Ward historic overlay district, establishes incentives for maintaining and rehabilitating the historic character of these buildings, and establishes the standards and process for historic rehabilitation.
B. 
Use Standards. The Fort Ward historic overlay district is not included in the BIMC § 18.09.020 use table because uses in the Fort Ward historic districts are the same as those in the underlying zone district.
C. 
Development Standards. Development standards, bonus densities, and review procedures are outlined in BIMC § 18.24.110.
(Ord. 2011-02 § 2 (Exh. A), 2011)
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of the R-8SF overlay district as designated on the official zoning map is to provide for medium density, single-family residential areas in pleasant, uncongested surroundings allowing for the maximum amenities for the occupants. This district is also intended to serve as a receiving area for the transfer of development rights (TDRs).
B. 
Use Standards. The R-8SF overlay district is not included in the BIMC § 18.09.020 use table because the uses in the R-8SF districts are the same as those in the R-8 district, with the exception that multifamily dwellings are not permitted in the R-8SF overlay district.
