may require direct access to rail, air or street transportation routes; however, the size and volume of the raw
materials and finished products involved should not produce the volume of freight generated by the uses of the
general industrial district. Buildings in this district should be architecturally attractive and surrounded by
landscaped yards.
(Ord. No. 2429, § 1(8.206-1), 11-13-2000)

(3) All of the uses permitted under this section shall have their primary operations conducted entirely
within enclosed buildings and shall not emit any dust or smoke or noxious odor or fumes outside of the
buildings housing the operation or produce a noise level at the property line that is greater than the
average noise level occurring on the adjacent street. Any article stored temporarily outside of an
enclosed building as an incidental part of the primary operation shall be so screened by ornamental
walls and fences or evergreen planting that it cannot be seen from adjoining public streets or adjacent
lots when viewed by a person standing on the ground level.
(4) The following uses may be permitted on review by the city planning and zoning commission:
a. Animal food manufacturing.
b. Food products processing and packing, including meat processing and packing.
Retail sales are permitted only when incidental and accessory to a permitted principal use in accordance with
this section.

section 50-491.
(Ord. No. 2429, § 1(8.206-4), 11-13-2000)

Off-street parking shall be provided in this district in accordance with the following schedule and article III of
