Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
During review of adopted ordinance 2019-55, which removed residential uses as an allowed use within the industrial zoning districts, City Council directed staff to modify the authorized land uses within the affected industrial district sets (Light and Heavy) to create consistency within each category. Without residential, various other industrial uses are now more compatible in these districts.
