52-718 I-1-Intensive Industrial 52-718 A. - Intent. It shall be the intent of this zoning district to promote and encourage the development and continued use of Intensive industrial businesses in the City of Bloomingdale. This district is intended to provide for the location of primarily warehousing, trucking companies, truck terminal, container yards/storage, chassis yards/storage, heavy truck repair, heavy equipment repair, and generally a support zone for the uses associated with the Georgia Ports. 719 B. - Permitted and prohibited uses. All of the land in an industrial district shall be owned by an individual, by a corporation or some other legal entity. Intensive industrial districts may be appropriate at the single lot level of development; however, Intensive industrial uses are encouraged to locate in planned industrial districts. Vehicular activities in intensive industrial districts consist predominantly of trucks, with some passenger vehicle traffic, and the road system is built to support truck traffic. Provisions for pedestrians may not be required, although pedestrian access to such districts is possible. Intensive industrial districts are intended to provide suitable areas for non-manufacturing activities, storage, warehousing and trucking. The uses associated with this district are likely to generate significant levels of truck traffic, noise, pollution, vibration, dust, fumes, odors, or other undesirable conditions. Conditional uses or special uses permitted in this district are primarily those known to create a safety hazard or produce particulate matter, thus being subject to various state and/or federal environmental laws. Intensive industrial districts are highly unsuitable adjacent to residential districts and are generally unfit for the sustained activity of humans and animals. Therefore, uses involving human activity such as dwellings, care centers, and certain commercial uses are not permitted. Conditional uses and special uses require impact statements to determine their compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The impact statement shall address those external effects determined by the city to be likely to exist if said use is established, including but not limited to, electromagnetic interference, noise, vibration, fumes, odors, dust and air particulates, illumination, truck traffic, air quality, and water table protection.
