In contras!, thereare many other types of industrial uses that are allowed under the
industrial zoning and which offer an opportunity for diversity in the City's economy, yield
benefits to the community in local jobs and tax base and address underserved needs
within the City. The City Council should have the opportunity to consider whether the
remaining vacant or underdeveloped industrial land would betler serve the community if
developed with uses such as the following examples:
1. Manufacturing
2. Assembly
3. Fabrication
4. Processing
5. Science And Technology
6. Research And Development
7. Business hotels and conference facilities
Adding the aboye mix of uses to the existing transportation industry uses will serve to
diversify the City's economy, provide a betler tax base and broaden employment
opportunities. The opportunity for this diversification will initially require a mechanism
for case by case evaluation at the City Council level.
Land Use Decisions under the City Zoning Codeo There are two basic issues with
the way the Zoning Code addresses industrialland uses.
