All Industrial uses must have direct access to a paved roadway. Rezoning land to an Industrial District requires at least an acre of contiguous property, except as provided herein. Smaller tracts of less than an acre that are adjacent to existing industrial sites or vacant sites with an Industrial Future Land Use designation may be permitted to rezone to an Industrial District, provided the proposed development conforms to the adjacent site and design standards and cross access is provided where applicable.
Where property zoned IR, IG or IM abuts existing residential development, no building or structure shall be located within seventy-five (75) feet of the residential perimeter property boundary line, and no activity shall be permitted within the seventy-five (75) feet except off-street parking. A "High" buffer consistent with the buffer criteria outlined herein may be provided in lieu of this requirement.
