Chapter 18.06 — INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS

The primary purpose of the industrial zoning districts is to provide a sound and diversified economic base and employment opportunities for the citizens of Cloverdale. It is the further intent of this chapter to accomplish this via the establishment of a specific, well-defined pattern of industrial activities which is compatible with residential, commercial, institutional, and other uses within the community; has good access to the regional transportation system; accommodates the personal needs of workers and business visitors; and which meets the service needs of local businesses.

(Ord. 698-2015 § 3 (Att. 1) (part), 2015)

• A. General Industrial (M-1) Zoning District. This designation is intended to provide additional employment opportunities in Cloverdale. It is the intent of this designation that industrial uses be located and conditioned to create as few adverse environmental effects as possible. M-1 properties are therefore located away from residential uses and sensitive habitats to the fullest extent possible. Primary uses include manufacturing, industrial parks, wineries, lumber mills, assembly, warehousing and distribution. Secondary uses include professional office and research and development.

• B. Industrial Park (M-P) Zoning District. This designation is intended to provide additional service-oriented employment opportunities in Cloverdale. Primary uses include professional office and research and development. Secondary uses include manufacturing, industrial parks, wineries, warehouses, and nurseries.

• (Ord. 698-2015 § 3 (Att. 1) (part), 2015)

Subject to applicable general plan policies and all applicable city ordinances, resolutions and/ or regulations, the following table identifies whether a use is a permitted use or requires a city permit. The legend identifies the type of permit required. Uses not permitted in the table are prohibited.

Many uses in this table have a corresponding definition in Chapter 18.14.
