Section 25.66.010 Purpose.

This zone is intended to provide locations for industrial activities which do not meet the standards of the ML zone. The MH zones are intended to be so located as to minimize or eliminate any adverse effects of the uses permitted in such zones on commercial, residential and public open space uses. Specified industrial uses with particularly offensive characteristics are permitted only upon review.  In addition, it is intended to permit in this zone, upon review, limited commercial uses that will serve primarily those who work in or do business with the industries in this zone and will be of a kind and size that will not inhibit industrial development in this zone. Because there are some small areas in the heavy manufacturing zones that are occupied by dwellings and may remain so for a number of years pre-existing dwellings are allowed as a permitted use but new dwellings are prohibited.  (Ord. 87/T-5718)
