The primary purpose of this Zone is to provide for high quality, light industrial developments that operate in such a manner that no nuisance factor is created or apparent outside an enclosed building. Limited outdoor activities (loading, service, storage, etc.) that are accessory to a principal use may occur providing the scale of such activities does not unduly conflict with the primary purpose of this Zone or dominate the use of the site. This Zone is intended for sites located on, or in proximity to, arterial or collector roadways within an industrial area; or wherever required to implement the objectives of a Plan or land use study.

No parking, loading, storage, trash collection, outdoor service or display area shall be permitted within a Setback.
The maximum Height shall not exceed 14.0 m, except that the Development Officer may, notwithstanding subsection 11.4, grant a variance to permit a greater Height for a building housing a General Industrial Use up to a maximum of 18.0 m, where this is required to facilitate the industrial development of the Use involved.
Notwithstanding the other regulations of this Zone, where this Zone abuts a residentially zoned Site with a maximum height of 14 m or less, the following regulations shall apply:
Bylaw 15735
June 20, 2011
a minimum Setback of 7.5 m shall be required from any building to any property line common with a residential Zone. No surface parking or loading facilities shall be located within this Setback area. The Development Officer may use variance power to reduce this Setback to a minimum of 3.0 m where an acceptable combination of screening and berming is provided to screen the parking and loading area from the abutting site;
no outdoor parking, trash collection or outdoor storage areas shall be developed within 3.0 m of any property line that abuts a residentially zoned Site;
a solid screen fence, 1.83 m in height, shall be installed along all property lines that abut a residentially zoned Site, except for common flanking Front Yard boundaries; and
design techniques including, but not limited to, the use of sloped roofs, variations in building setbacks and articulation of building façades, shall be employed in order to minimize the perception of massing of the building when viewed from adjacent residential areas and roadways.
Convenience Retail Stores and Specialty Food Services shall not be allowed in any freestanding structure that is separate from a principal building and must be integrated with, and accessory to, a permitted or discretionary use within this zone.
Signs shall comply with the regulations found in Schedule 59F.
