EXHIBITS Page 53 <br />Heavy Industrial <br />This designation generally accommodates industries that process large volumes of raw materials <br />into refined products and/or that have significant external impacts. Examples of heavy industry <br />include: lumber and wood products manufacturing; paper, chemicals and primary metal <br />manufacturing; large-scale storage of hazardous materials; power plants; and railroad yards. <br />Such industries often are energy-intensive, and resource-intensive. Heavy industrial <br />transportation needs often include truck and rail. This designation may also accommodate light <br />and medium industrial uses and supporting offices, local regulations permitting. <br />Light Medium Industrial <br />This designation accommodates a variety of industries, including those involved in the secondary <br />processing of materials into components, the assembly of components into finished products, <br />transportation, communication and utilities, wholesaling, and warehousing. The external impact <br />from these uses is generally less than Heavy Industrial, and transportation needs are often met by <br />truck. Activities are generally located indoors, although there may be some outdoor storage. <br />This designation may also accommodate supporting offices and light industrial uses, local <br />regulations permitting. <br />Campus Industrial <br />The primary objective of this designation is to provide opportunities for diversification of the <br />local economy through siting of light industrial firms in a campus-like setting. The activities of <br />such firms are enclosed within attractive exteriors and have minimal environmental impacts, <br />such as noise, pollution, and vibration, on other users and on surrounding areas. Large-scale <br />light industrial uses, including regional distribution centers and research and development <br />complexes, are the primary focus of this designation. Provision should also be made for small- <br />and medium-scale industrial uses within the context of industrial and business parks which will <br />maintain the campus-like setting with minimal environmental impacts. Complementary uses <br />such as corporate office headquarters and supporting commercial establishments serving primary <br />uses may also be sited on a limited basis. <br />Conceptual development planning, performance standards, or site review processes shall be <br />applied to ensure adequate circulation, functional coordination among uses on each site, a high <br />quality environmental setting, and compatibility with adjacent areas. A 50-acre minimum lot <br />size shall be applied to ownerships of 50 or more acres to protect undeveloped sites from <br />piecemeal development until a site development plan has been approved by the responsible city. <br />Special Heavy Industrial <br />These areas are designated to accommodate relocation of existing heavy industrial uses inside <br />the urban growth boundary (UG13) that do not have sufficient room for expansion and to <br />accommodate a limited range of other heavy industries in order to broaden the manufacturing <br />base of the metropolitan economy and to take advantage of the natural resources of this region. <br />These areas are also designated to accommodate new uses likely to benefit from local advantage <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 616 <br />
