Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommend approval of the attached ordinance <br />amending permitted and conditional uses in the I1 and I2 zoning districts, <br />amending conditional uses in the C3 zoning district and establishing new <br />definitions for light industrial and heavy industrial. <br /> <br />Staff concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation with the <br />exception of including "animal, nutrition and agricultural research" as a <br />conditional use in the 11 and I2 zones. Staff believes that this use, even though it <br />involves research and development, is principally an agricultural use not <br />industrial in nature and should not be included as a conditional use in the I1 <br />and I2 zones. The underlying decision here seems to be whether to allow <br />agricultural uses in industrial zones. If the decision is to allow agricultural uses <br />in industrial zones, then consideration should be given to including the use <br />"animal, nutrition and animal research" as a conditional use. If the Council does <br />not desire to have agricultural uses in industrial zones, then the use should not <br />be included. <br /> <br /> <br />
