18.20.190 M-1 (Light Industrial)
Purpose: The M-1 (Light Industrial) District provides for development of light industrial uses in an industrial park setting. This type of industrial development should be of low intensity and high quality, with increased amenities and open space. The M-1 District encourages industrial park complexes that accommodate businesses engaged in light manufacturing and related uses, with limited retail and service uses. M-1 zoning is most appropriate where the subject property adjoins an area which is sensitive because of land use or environmental factors. The M-1 District is consistent with the Employment Areas future land use category, and implements the following Comprehensive Plan policies:
•LUCC-8.2: Use zoning as a tool to avoid or minimize conflicts between land uses.
•ES-4.1: Employment Districts.
