COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL (C/I) DISTRICT DEFINED. The purpose of the Commercial/Industrial District is to encourage the establishment of areas for general commerce and business, retail sales, wholesale sales, and light Manufacturing. Activities would include retail outlets, service stations, eating and drinking establishments, and Manufacturing activities commonly located in an serving the local [market. The overall character of the District is intended to be transitional in nature, thus industrial uses allowed in this district shall be limited to those which can compatibly exist adjacent to commercial and lower density activities. Due to the high volumes of traffic which usually accompany these business activities, it is absolutely necessary that C/I Districts be located on a collector or arterial as specified by the City of Columbus Comprehensive Plan. ff 7A-790, formerly § 7A-750, for merit/ ,§ 7A-720, amended by Ord No. 02-01, elfectice Mat/ 17, 2002, amended by Ord.

As evidenced by the Comprehensive Plan, most lands in the City of Columbus are limited in their capacity to be developed because of poor soil conditions, relatively high water table, lack of municipal water supply, lack of municipal sanitary sewer, and lack of municipal storm sewer. Until these municipal facilities become available, it will be necessary for nearly all C/I uses to be administered as Conditional Uses. The principal conditions employed to address these concerns are environmental and include such things as (t.) non -contamination of the groundwater system through utilization of containment systems for off-site waste disposal and lawful on-site sewage disposal systems; (ii.) installation of lawful wells for on-site water supply; and, (iii.) installation of on-site or acquisition and installation of off-site surface water retention areas to nullify the impact of construction of impervious surfaces on the site. Environmental conditions are not the only conditions which may be placed upon a C/I use. Other conditions, intended to make the C11 use as harmonious as possible with it surrounding lawful uses, may be imposed by the City Council. Cross-reference: see the General Standards for all Conditional Uses at § 7A-563 above. The following uses shall be conditional in the C/I District: A. Building trade/contractor offices, including company-owned vehicle repair, and including storage of cotnpany-owned vehicles, equipment and materials. B. Licensed day care facilities. C. Light industrial manufacturing, processing, assembling, storing, testing, or similar industrial uses which are relatively clean, quiet, and free of objectionable or hazardous elements, such as smoke, noise, odor, or dust. D. Communication towers and broadcast towers, subject the requirements of Section 7A- 816 and 7A-817. E. Lumber yards and sales. F. Gasoline sales and accessory convenience retail store and food service facilities. G. Greenhouses, nurseries and retail sales of materials raised on the premises (and packaged seeds, soils, soil amendments, gardening tools and hard accessories). H. Implement and recreational vehicle sales and service. I. Machine shops, welding shops, and similar service establishments. J. Mortuaries. K. Restaurants and cafes. L. Retail stores and shops. M.

It is the intent of this Subdivision to provide that industry and related activities shall be established and maintained with proper appearance from streets and adjoining properties and to provide that each such permitted use shall be a good neighbor to adjoining properties by the control of the following: 1. Noise. Noise shall be measured on any property line of the tract on which the operation is located. Noise shall be muffled so not to became objectionable due to intermittence, -53- beat, frequency, shrillness or intensity.

The General Industrial District is established to provide exemplary standards of development for certain industrial uses to be located in strategic sites. These general industrial uses are less compatible with commercial and residential uses and, therefore, are not appropriate in the "TI -1" District. More specifically, heavy industrial land uses are industrial land uses which may have the potential to create nuisances which are detectable at the property line; may involve materials which pose a significant safety hazard.

The provisions of this section are designed to deal with larger scale development and facilitate better site planning and community planning. This can be done through modification of certain district regulations as they apply to such development. In larger scale development, the Zoning Code might place unnecessary or undesirable rigidities on the site plan and prevent achievement of the best possible plan. Therefore, this Section has the following intents: A. To permit flexibility in site design. B. To achieve more efficient use of land, within the framework and intent of the Zoning Code, which can result from large scale or multiple use developments. C. To encourage and permit provision of open space. -58-
