A. OCI: Office Commercial Industrial. The OCI zoning district provides appropriate locations for office, light industrial and small-scale commercial uses (e.g., restaurants, personal services and fitness centers) either singly or in combination. Only those light industrial uses with no off-site impacts, e.g., noise, glare, odor, vibration, outdoor storage, or process visibility are permitted in the OCI zone. In addition to mandatory site plan review, design and development standards in the OCI zone have been adopted to ensure that developments will be well-integrated, attractively landscaped, and pedestrian friendly. The OCI zone combines two zones that were referred to as the Office Campus (OC) and Industrial Commercial (MC) zones prior to March 11, 2004.

B. IL: Light Industrial. The IL zoning district provides appropriate locations for combining light, clean industries including industrial service, manufacturing, research/development, small scale warehousing and freight movement, and general office uses and limited retail. These activities do not require rail or marine access and have limited outdoor storage.

C. IH: Heavy Industrial. The IH zoning district provides appropriate locations for intensive industrial uses including industrial service, manufacturing and production, research and development, warehousing and freight movement, railroad yards, waste-related and wholesale sales activities. Activities in the IH zone include those that involve the use of raw materials, require significant outdoor storage and generate heavy truck and/or rail traffic. Because of these characteristics, IH-zoned property has been carefully located to minimize impacts on established residential, commercial and light industrial areas.

D. ECX: Employment Center Mixed-Use. The ECX zoning district is designed to provide for a concentrated urban mix of office, light industrial and small-scale commercial uses (e.g., restaurants, personal services and fitness centers) either singly or in combination in the Section 30 Employment Center Plan District. Only those light industrial uses with no off-site impacts, e.g., noise, glare, odor, vibration, outdoor storage, or process visibility are permitted in the ECX zone. In addition, the ECX zoning district provides for optional Urban Neighborhood Overlay(s), allowing for two concentrated urban mixed-use commercial/residential neighborhoods. Mandatory master planning and development standards in the ECX zone have been adopted to ensure that developments will be well-integrated, attractively landscaped, and pedestrian friendly. (Ord.
