2. The purpose of the individual industrial zones is as follows: (MC 1393 12/2/13)
A. OIP (OFFICE INDUSTRIAL PARK) ZONE
This zone is intended to establish distinctive office industrial parks and corporate centers serving City and regional needs. Supporting retail/commercial services may be located in Corporate Office Industrial Park structures.
B. IL (INDUSTRIAL LIGHT) ZONE
This zone is intended to retain, enhance, and intensify existing and provide for the new development of lighter industrial uses along major vehicular, rail, and air transportation routes serving the City.
C. IH (INDUSTRIAL HEAVY) ZONE
This zone is intended to provide for the continuation and development of heavy manufacturing industries in locations where they will be compatible with and not adversely impact adjacent land uses.
D. IE (INDUSTRIAL EXTRACTIVE) ZONE
This zone is intended to promote the mining and processing of the City's mineral resources in the Cajon Creek, Lytle Creek, and Santa Ana River areas, while ensuring their compatibility with adjacent land uses. Additionally, this zone provides for the development of interim uses including, but not limited to lumber yards, outdoor storage, plant nurseries, recreation (non-structural), etc., which do not impair the long term ability to extract and process mineral resources.
