The ED-I, Economic Development Intensive District is established to provide appropriate
locations for carefully planned industrial and manufacturing uses. In order to accommodate
certain economic development uses not permitted in the ED-G District (Economic Development—General),
the ED-I District is primarily intended for use by medium to large manufacturing operations,
heavy equipment facilities, construction and maintenance yards, fuel businesses, and
other basic intensive industrial activities normally found in an urban manufacturing
environment.
In concert with the city's TND-O Traditional Neighborhood Development Overlay District,
mixed use development is encouraged in areas that are overlain by the TND-O District.
The overlay district provides increased flexibility for the integration of residential,
civic, and commercial uses within existing zoned ED-I areas that may no longer be
suitable for heavy industry. However, residential development is not permitted within
the ED-I District in locations outside of the designated TND-O District.
All ED-I District applications shall be thoroughly reviewed to assess the impact of
project on the public health, safety, and welfare of the city and its citizens. Potentially
hazardous and noxious uses shall require comprehensive environmental impact analyses
and public review as required by applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
