§ 17.76.010. Purpose.

The purpose of the light industrial district is to foster the continuance of existing manufacturing and other light industrial uses and to encourage the location of new industries within the city to continually improve the economic base of the community. These uses require large sites served by highways, rail lines and utilities near enough to residential areas to provide employment with minimum travel time. To make these areas attractive to industries compatible with one another, maintain property values and protect residential areas adjoining or close by, uses are limited to those which do not create adverse external noise, vibration, smoke, dust, lint, odor, heat or glare. Uses which are explosive, toxic, or otherwise hazardous may be permitted by ordinance permit. In accordance with this purpose, which is in accord with findings and recommendations of the adopted land use element of the metro core comprehensive plan, the following uses, standards and area regulations have been established.
