6.3.13. I-B Industrial Business District. The I-B district is intended to be a transitional land use district located adjacent to major thoroughfares where highway business and industrial development have high potential and where existing land uses indicate such a mixture. In addition, these regulations will allow mixing of certain normally non -compatible uses, with the provision that proper open spaces, sign control, sufficient lot sizes, increased setbacks, and good design are provided. This will help ensure that existing residences are protected against encroachment by industrial and business nuisances and similarly the ills of traditional strip commercial and industrial development will be discouraged. The purpose of the I -B district will be to provide for and encourage the proper grouping and development of roadside areas which will best accommodate the needs of the motoring public and of businesses and light industry demanding high volume traffic and major thoroughfare access but exhibiting a fairly low development density and traffic generation capacity with controlled highway access as a major feature. 6.3.14. I -1 Industrial District. The I-1 district is for industries and warehouses which are not considered detrimental to surrounding land uses or those industries that are not considered to cause unnecessary loads or strain on existing public utility facilities. Further, these industries are to comply with applicable state and federal agencies’ standards for emissions, effluents, noise, or odor. 6.3.15. I-2 General Industrial District. The I-2 district is established for the purpose of limiting the location of industries which by nature of their activities are not compatible with residential, institutional, and commercial uses. In addition to the permitted uses in the I -2 General Industrial District, any building or land may be used for any other industrial purpose, except that no building or occupancy permit shall be issued for any of those uses not meeting state and/or federal agencies’ standards for objectionable emissions, effluents, noise, or odor until and unless the location of such shall have been approved by the City Council. 6.3.16. PUD Planned Unit Development. This district is defined as an area characterized by an orderly integration of residential development, open space land uses, commercial development, and light industrial development (I -B and I -1) which conform to the design requirements contained herein.
