Zoning
The portion of this replat located within City limits is within the Industrial (1) zoning district. The
Industrial (I) zoning district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for
business, manufacturing, processing, fabricating, repair, assemble, storage, wholesaling and
distributing operations, which may create some nuisance and which are not properly associated
nor compatible with residential land uses. It is intended to provide en\ ironmental safeguards for
people employed in or visiting the district. Some visual amenith is expected in this district to
rnake it compatible with adjoining residential or business districts.
