Design Guidelines for Industrial Uses
Jackson Zoning Ordinance § 706.13-B
in effect706.13.1– B Building Location and Orientation: To the maximum degree possible, the
arrangement of buildings on a site shall screen operational and loading areas from view
abutting highway corridor streets.
Buildings with customer entrances shall orient such entrances toward the primary access
street. Accessory structures shall not front a primary access street and shall be oriented
away from public streets, open space, or residential areas.
Buildings shall be arranged and oriented so that loading docks, outdoor storage, trash
collection and processing, HVAC equipment, truck parking and servicing areas and other
service functions are not visible from Highway 80 except where surrounding topographic
features prevents concealment. Site designs shall maximize the amount of landscaping in
street yards along these highways. This standard may be met by building and site
orientation, site design, and/or landscaped screening that blocks the view of such areas
from the highway corridors. Customer and employee parking areas are permitted in these
street yards, subject to other provisions of this regulation.
