A. Function. An area with existing industrial uses, that provides space for new industrial development and accommodates a broad mix of activity, including additional commercial development, when such activity improves employment opportunities and the physical conditions of the area without conflicting with industrial activity. B. Locational criteria. General Industrial 2 zone designation is most appropriate in areas generally characterized by the following: 1. Areas that are developed with industrial activity or a mix of industrial activity and a wide range of commercial uses; 2. Areas where facilities have established a more commercial character for the surroundings and have created the need for a broader mix of support uses; 3. Areas with adequate access to the existing and planned neighborhood transportation network; where additional trips generated by increased commercial densities can be accommodated without conflicting with the access and circulation needs of industrial activity; 4. Areas where increased commercial densities would allow the economic reuse of small sites and existing buildings no longer suited to current industrial needs; 5. Areas that, because of their size and isolation from a larger industrial area due to separation by another type of zone or major physical barrier, such as an arterial or waterway, can accommodate more nonindustrial activity without conflicting with the industrial function of the larger industrial area; 6. Large areas with generally flat topography; 7. Areas platted into large parcels of land. (Ord. 127099 , § 6, 2024; Ord. 117430 , § 24, 1994.)
