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.
