The purpose of the light industrial zone (LI) is to provide for the location and grouping of non-nuisance-generating industrial enterprises and activities involving manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, processing, bulk handling and storage, research facilities, warehousing and limited retail uses. It is also a purpose of this zone to protect the industrial land base for industrial economic development and employment opportunities. These purposes are accomplished by: (i) Allowing for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing uses; (ii) Establishing appropriate development standards and public review procedures for industrial activities with the greatest potential for adverse impacts; and (iii) Limiting residential, institutional, service, office and other nonindustrial uses to those necessary to directly support industrial activities. (b) Use of this zone is appropriate in light industrial areas designated by the comprehensive plan which are served at the time of development by adequate public sewers, water supply, roads and other needed public facilities and services.

This zone is intended as a transitional zone between light industrial and general commercial areas that allows the market to determine whether industrial or commercial uses are the highest and best use of the site. (b) Use of this zone is appropriate in light industrial areas designated by the comprehensive plan which are served at the time of development by adequate public sewers, water supply, roads and other needed public facilities and services.
