There has also been some discussion regarding the types of uses that are currently allowed in the highway commercial zone. There are two uses listed that would appear to be more appropriate for the two industrial zones. Truck terminals and enclosed storage and warehousing are uses that are industrial in nature and appearance and are better suited for industrial zones. Overview In an attempt to develop a list of allowable uses that better reflect the stated purposes of the two industrial districts, staff reviewed other ordinances and incorporated some of the uses found in those ordinances with uses found in our ordinance. Deleted from the I1 and I2 zones were kennels, rendering plants and airports. In the C3 (Highway Commercial) zone, truck terminals and enclosed storage and warehousing were deleted as conditional uses and incorporated as allowed uses in the I1 and I2 zones, warehousing as a permitted use in the I1 and I2 zones, and truck terminals as a conditional use in the I1 and I2 zones. Enclosed storage was replaced with the term mini-storage and included as a conditional use in the I1 zone and a permitted use in the I2 zone. Planning Commission Meeting At the June 25, 1996 Planning Commission meeting no one spoke at the public hearing. The Commission wanted the uses allowed I2 zone be cumulative to include all the uses allowed in the I1 zone. To clarify the cumulative nature of the I2 zone, the Commission made the following changes to the ordinance that was proposed by staff: · Include the statement "All uses allowed as a permitted in the I1 zone" as a permitted use in the I2 zone. · Include the statement "All uses allowed as a conditional use in the I1 zone" as a conditional use in the I2 zone. The Commission also discussed whether animal, nutrition and agricultural research should be allowed as a conditional use in the industrial zones. After lengthy discussion regarding the merits of agricultural uses in the industrial zone and the possibility of another business, other than Cargill, developing industrial land under the animal, nutrition and agricultural research definition, the Commission recommended the following change to the ordinance: Include Animal, Nutrition and Agricultural Research as a conditional use in the I1 and I2 zone.
