The purpose of the Heavy Industrial district is to provide lands that accommodate heavy industrial development that generally requires large sites, as well as industrial uses that are important to the City economic growth but may impact adjacent lands. The uses generally involve greater potential for adverse off-site impacts on the environment and surrounding development (e.g. from dust, fumes, smoke, odor, noise, or vibration, or due to extensive movement of vehicles, materials, and goods). Allowed uses include heavy manufacturing, warehouse distribution, wholesale sales, major utility facilities, and research laboratories. District development is intended to include buffers and the use of mitigation techniques to ensure heavy industrial development mitigates potential impacts to surrounding residential development.
