TABLE 5-G: INDUSTRIAL AND AIRPORT ZONE PURPOSE STATEMENTS
I-L & To provide areas in which low-impact industrial uses, and limited other uses serving employees and residents of
I-Lb the surrounding neighborhood, will be compatible with adjacent residential uses, will provide a buffer between
residential neighborhoods and higher impact industrial zones, or will stand alone as a smaller scale industrial
district. The I-L zone is located adjacent to residential neighborhoods, business uses and other industrial uses
where the low-intensity nature of the uses, as well as their strict performance standards, will ensure the
compatibility of the uses with other adjacent industrial and nonindustrial uses. The I-Lb zone is typically located on
the peninsula.

I-M & I- To provide zones in areas of the city in which low- and moderate-impact industries and transportation-related
Mb uses will coexist. I-M zones are located on arterials or collectors. The I-Mb zone is typically located on the
peninsula. These locations provide for direct access onto arterials, thereby protecting residential neighborhoods
from drive-through traffic. The purpose of the I-M and I-Mb industrial zones is also to provide for larger industrial
buildings and for the limited or controlled use of areas outside of structures for storage of materials and
machinery. These facilities often require large volumes of imported materials and products which result in large
volumes of shipping and receiving. Often uses may be highway-oriented and transportation-related, thus relying
on citywide and regional transportation infrastructure. Industrial uses in these moderate-impact industrial zones
may require separation from higher-impact uses.
