Dixon Municipal Code § 18.06.010 Purpose

A. The purpose of industrial zoning districts is to:

1. Provide appropriate areas of the City where industrial uses can locate and operate without significant conflicts with other land uses;

2. Strengthen the City's economic base and provide employment opportunities for residents of the City; and

3. Provide areas for a wide range of manufacturing, industrial processing, and service commercial uses and protect areas where such uses now exist.

B. Additional Purposes of Each Industrial Zoning District.

1. Light Industrial (IL). The IL district is intended to provide areas for small-scale industrial businesses and operations that do not create adverse visual, noise, or other impacts on adjoining public and residential properties. This district allows for small-scale industrial, manufacturing, and service uses. Industries that use or produce substantial amounts of hazardous materials or generate noise, odor, or other pollutants are not permitted. This district implements the Industrial General Plan land use designation.

2. General Industrial (IG). The IG district is intended to provide areas for businesses that have potential to create adverse visual, noise, or other impacts to adjoining public and residential properties. This district allows for large- and small-scale industrial, manufacturing, heavy commercial uses such as food processing, fabricating, motor vehicle service and repair, truck yards and terminals, warehousing, distribution and storage uses without a tax revenue generating component, wholesale uses, construction supplies, building material facilities, offices, contractors' yards and the like. This district implements the Industrial General Plan land use designation.

Table 18.06.020: Land Use Regulations – Industrial Districts, sets the land use regulations for the industrial districts. Land uses are defined in Chapter 18.34 DMC, Use Classifications. Land uses not listed in the table and not substantially similar to the uses listed are prohibited. In cases where a specific land use or activity is not defined, the Community Development Director shall assign the land use or activity to a classification that is substantially similar in character. The decision of the Director in such instances may be appealed under DMC § 18.21.120, Appeals. The Director may refer any request for determination of use classification that is unclear, may generate substantial public controversy, or involve significant land use policy decisions to the Planning Commission for decision.
