    The Heavy Industrial (IH) zone is intended for large-scale industrial activities that require major transportation and may cause environmental impacts. Developments must follow specific standards, including a maximum building height of 70 feet and building coverage of 90% for some building types. Developments over 10,000 square feet must provide a minimum 10% of the site as green area for employee recreation. When abutting residential zones, buildings must have a minimum 25 foot setback and not exceed a 45 degree angular plane measured from 35 feet high at the setback line.

    Heavy Industrial (IH)

    Intent
    The IH zone is intended to provide land for industrial activities of a large scale that usually need major transportation links to highways or rail and may create significant noise, dust, vibration, glare, odors and other adverse environmental impacts.

    Overview of Development Standards


    The IH zone can only be developed using the Standard Method, with the following standards indicated in the table below:
    Development Standard
    Height (max.) Building Coverage (max. % of lot area) Green Area (min. % of site area) Site Plan Required Public Benefits Required

    Green Area
    Any development in the IH zone on a lot greater than 10,000sf is required to provide access to active or passive recreation areas and natural features for the use and enjoyment of employees and visitors. This open space is known as green area and it may be used for: 1. Open space such as gardens, lawns, ornamental planting areas or natural habitat 2. Passive recreation areas and facilities 3. Public or private park, playground 4. Pedestrian or multipurpose trails or walkways 5. Above-ground utility rights-of-way 6. Environmental Site Design (ESD) 7. Utilities

    Standard Method
    70 90% (for select building types) 10% (if lot area > 10,000sf) Yes, if various criteria apply No

    Neighborhood Compatibility
    When an IH property abuts an AC, RR, RNC, RLD, or RMD property that is not improved with a commercial, industrial, or utility use, any building must: 1. Have a minimum setback of 25 or the setback required by the adjacent property; and

    2. Must not project beyond a 45 angular plane projecting over the subject property measured from a height of 35 at the setback line determined above, with the exception of those features exempt from height and setback restrictions. ProposalbasedonNovember22,2011 ZAPReviewDraft
