A. Provide a range of industrial services for City residents. One of the major purposes of the regulations governing development in industrial zoning districts is to ensure that a full range of job opportunities are available throughout the City so that residents can work close to home if they choose. The location of land within each industrial district must be carefully selected and design and development standards created to minimize the potential adverse impacts of industrial activity on established residential areas.

B. Facilitate economic goals. Another purpose of these regulations is to ensure that there is a full range of economic activities and job opportunities within the City limits, in compliance with the economic goals of the City of Vancouver Comprehensive Plan. (Ord. M-3643, 01/26/2004)
