<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wilmington</strong><br />
Sec. 18-200. AI, Airport Industrial District.<br />
(a) Purpose. This <strong>district</strong> is established as a restricted industrial <strong>district</strong> in<br />
which the principal use <strong>of</strong> land is for intensive and extensive commercial and/or<br />
industrial operations that are compatible with airport facilities. It is designed to<br />
provide sites adjacent to railroads and/or major thoroughfares, as well as sites with<br />
airport access. The <strong>district</strong> is intended to protect and promote the public utility <strong>of</strong> the<br />
airport by encouraging compatible land uses to locate proximate to it. It is also<br />
intended to promote the health, safety and welfare <strong>of</strong> area residents by preventing the<br />
creation <strong>of</strong> hazards to the airport, thereby protecting the lives and property <strong>of</strong> the<br />
users <strong>of</strong> the airport and occupants in the vicinity. The restriction <strong>of</strong> uses also serves to<br />
prevent the destruction or impairment <strong>of</strong> the utility <strong>of</strong> the airport and the public<br />
investment therein.<br />
(b) Lot Size One (1) acre minimum lot size.<br />
(c) Access. To protect and promote existing or future residential development,<br />
any means <strong>of</strong> direct access to or from any permitted or special use in the AI, Airport<br />
Industrial District shall not be through any residentially zoned or developed area or<br />
along any street or road in any residential subdivision. If it can be demonstrated that<br />
undue hardship will exist if this provision is strictly enforced, the <strong>zoning</strong> board <strong>of</strong><br />
adjustment may grant a variance in accordance with Article 2 <strong>of</strong> this chapter.<br />
