A. Provide for the development of areas in which certain types of industrial activities may be located to promote job generation consistent with the Economic Development Element of the Lacey Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

B. Implement the policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for light industrial/commercial areas in the Hawks Prairie Planning Area.

C. Mandate that an essential consideration in review of development in the light industrial/commercial zone will be the overall impact to road infrastructure and the impact on the accommodation of other uses on the city road network. Particular attention must be paid to impacts that could discourage retail commercial development because of road capacity and level of service at key intersections.

D. Prohibit uses which are not primarily conducted indoors, or involve hazardous materials, or truck terminals or cross dock facilities and result in significant heavy truck traffic. These uses are generally considered heavy industrial uses under this title and are not appropriate for this designation.

E. Recognize that an essential aspect of this zone is the need to create and maintain a quality of development that attracts further investment in the light industrial/commercial zoning district and surrounding zoning districts. Consequently, the site activities and structures should be regulated within this zone including a design review element.

F. Permit in the same areas such commercial uses as may be compatible with the industrial activities.

G. Protect light industrial/commercial areas from other uses which may interfere with the purpose and efficient functioning of said areas.

H. Protect living areas from adverse or damaging impact of any kind emanating or resulting from activities in the light industrial/commercial areas.

I. Provide criteria for the location and standards for the development of said areas. (Ord. 1264 §3, 2006; Ord. 583 §2.23(A), 1980).
