It is important to ensure that the new Ordinance is updated to accommodate new uses and trends in development. The goal of the Zoning Ordinance is to be more user friendly and to guide future development in a positive direction. These additional uses are similar in intensity to the other primary uses in the "LI" and "GI" Districts. Therefore, with the development standards as set forth by the Ordinance, this text amendment meets the intent of the Ordinance and will clarify some of the permitted uses in the Industrial Districts. The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report.
