Sec. 802. District Designations:

Kings County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Kings County

  • A. IL Light Industrial District: This district is intended primarily for less intensive industrial, processing, and manufacturing operations that may be located within closer proximity to residential and commercial areas. Light Industrial is designated primarily within Community Service Districts and Urban Fringe areas.

  • B. IH Heavy Industrial District: This district is intended for more intensive industrial, processing, and manufacturing operations that may be more intrusive to residential uses by reason of emission of odor, dust, smoke, gas, noise or similar causes and therefore require isolation from many other kinds of land use. Heavy Industrial is therefore located along major transportation corridors and farther away from sensitive land uses.

Sec. 803. Land Use Regulations: The following table prescribes the land use regulations for industrial districts. The regulations for each district are established by letter designation shown in the key of Table 8-1:

and the evidence submitted, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in addition to the findings prescribed in Article 17.

  • a. That consideration of all the determinable characteristics of the use which is subject to the application indicates that the use has the same essential characteristics as the uses listed in the IL zoning district with a Site Plan Review with respect to methods of operation, type of process, materials, equipment, structures, storage and appearances.

  • b. If the use involves nuisance or hazardous characteristics, that the application include sufficient evidence to indicate that special devices and/or construction or site design are planned to eliminate the nuisance or hazardous characteristics normally attendant to operation of the use.

  • c. That the use reasonably can be expected to conform to the required conditions prescribed for the IL District in Section 804 below.

  1. The presence on a site of three or more motor vehicles which have not been capable of operating under their own power for 30 days or more or, in the case of vehicles not self-propelled, which have not been towable or from which parts have been removed for reuse or sale, shall constitute prima facie evidence of a motor vehicle wrecking yard.

    1. Operation of the generating facilities will not change the flow regime in the affected stream, canal, or pipeline including but not limited to:
    • a. Rate and volume of flow,

    • b. Temperature,

    • c. Amounts of dissolved oxygen to a degree that could adversely affect aquatic life, and

    • d. Timing of release.

  2. New power lines to connect the generating facilities to existing power lines will not exceed one mile in length if located on a new right-of-way and will not be located adjacent to a wild or scenic river.

  3. Repair or reconstruction of the diversion structure will not raise the normal maximum surface elevation of the impoundment.

  4. There will be no significant upstream or downstream passage of fish affected by the project.

  5. The discharge from the power house will not be located more than 300 feet from the toe of the diversion structure.

  6. The project will not cause violations of applicable state or federal water quality standards.

  7. The project will not entail any construction on or alteration of a site included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and

  8. Construction will not occur in the vicinity of any endangered, rare, or threatened species.
