A.
Three manufacturing zones are established to provide locations for the assembly, manufacture, processing, and distribution of a wide variety of goods and materials, and to allow complementary commercial uses to locate in proximity to such uses. The different manufacturing zones are designed to concentrate these activities in appropriate areas of the city to promote efficiency in street and utility design, to segregate these uses from sensitive residential uses, and to ensure availability of adequate public services.
1.
Commercial-Manufacturing (C/M-1). The C/M-1 zone is established to provide for a wide variety of commercial uses and limited, compatible light industrial uses. The intent of the zone is to concentrate these uses along major arterials and in other areas that provide easy access and convenience. The industrial uses considered appropriate in the C/M-1 zone are limited to support services, such as machine shops and some light manufacturing. Commercial or industrial uses that might create offensive levels of noise, air pollution, glare, radioactivity or other nuisances are prohibited from this zone.
2.
Light Manufacturing Zone (M-1). The M-1 zone is designed to preserve city land appropriate for medium-intensity industrial uses, to attract and preserve desirable industrial plants, and to provide an aesthetically pleasing industrial environment. The intent of the M-1 zone is to provide safeguards and appropriate transitions to surrounding land uses that may be sensitive to industrial activities and to permit efficient design of infrastructure and public service to serve these uses.
3.
Heavy Manufacturing Zone (M-2). The purpose of the M-2 zone is to provide land suitable for heavy industrial uses. This zone is also the only zone where adult businesses and adult entertainment enterprises may be located in the city. The requirements of the zone are intended to provide safeguards and to establish adequate buffer distances between uses that pose potentially adverse public health, safety, and welfare impacts and land uses in adjacent, more restrictive zone districts.
