IWD, Industrial Warehousing/Distribution District. The IWD district implements those industrial policies of the general plan that provide opportunities for wholesaling, warehousing and bulk distribution uses. This district also may be used to implement major transportation policies of the general plan. By their nature, the principal uses of this district require relatively flat, large acreage tracts of land and may generate large volumes of heavy truck traffic, necessitating very good access to major arterial streets and the interstate system. Some businesses also may require direct rail or river access. 2. IR, Industrial Restrictive District. The IR district implements those industrial policies of the general plan that provide adequate opportunities for a wide range of light industrial uses at a small to moderate scale. Uses most suitable in this district are those which operate within completely enclosed buildings with limited outdoor storage. Potential impacts on abutting properties are minimized by the light industrial nature of the uses permitted in this district and high operational standards. Uses within this district should have a high level of access to the major street network. 3. IG, Industrial General District. The IG district implements those industrial policies of the general plan which provide opportunities for intensive manufacturing uses that are essential for the economic viability of the metropolitan area. Industrial uses associated with this district often require large, relatively flat sites with good access to the regional highway system, the Cumberland River or a rail line. Due to these special locational requirements, the integrity of this district is protected by a minimum lot size requirement and limiting the range of uses to those which are clearly supportive of the principal uses associated with the IG district.
