73-5.11 HI, Heavy Industrial 1. Purpose and Intent. The HI district is intended to provide suitable areas for major manufacturing processing, warehousing and research facilities which require open storage and large amounts of land. Typical heavy industrial uses include manufacturing, chemical manufacturing and storage, petrochemical refining and storage, mining and other land uses that may affect the environment. These districts should have access to major streets and utilities and discourage uses which are incompatible. When located on the perimeter of an industrial node, the HI district should provide for uses that are lower in intensity and scale to ensure compatibility with adjacent properties. 2.
