ARTICLE XIV - I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS SECTION 1401: SPECIAL LAND USES PERMITTED The following uses, and their accessory buildings and accessory uses, shall be permitted as a special land use if it is found to meet the standards outlined in Section 2332 of this Ordinance, subject to the applicable conditions imposed by Ordinance and other reasonable conditions imposed by the Planning Commission: 1. Railway or truck freight terminals located more than two hundred (200) feet from any residential district. 2. Freestanding commercial radio, television, and similar transmission towers greater than 175 feet and their attendant facilities. 3. Paint manufacturing. 4. Prisons and other similar correctional facilities. 5. Adult bookstores, adult indoor and outdoor motion picture theaters, and cabarets. Recognizing that because of their nature some uses have objectionable operational characteristics, especially when concentrated in small areas and recognizing that such uses may have a harmful effect on adjacent areas, special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. These special regulations are as follows: a. No such uses may be permitted in the I-1 Districts within one thousand (1,000) feet if any residential district measured from the lot line of the location of the proposed use. b. The Planning Commission may waive this location provision if the following findings are made: i. That the proposed use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties and that the spirit and intent of this Ordinance will be observed. ii. That the character of the area shall be maintained. iii. That all applicable regulations of this Ordinance will be observed. iv. That no other adult bookstore, adult motion picture theater, or cabaret is located within two thousand (2,000) feet of the proposed location. c. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Planning Commission shall not consider the waiver of the locational requirements as hereinabove set forth until a petition shall have been filed with the City Clerk and verified as to sufficiency. Such petition shall indicate approval of the proposed regulated use by fifty-one (51) percent or more of the persons owning property within a radius of one thousand (1,000) feet of the location of the proposed use as measured from the lot line.
