DISCUSSION:

Amendmente to the Clean Industrial (M-3) zone are currently underway to
facilitate the development of industrial parks. Aside from broadening the
uses that could locate in the M-3 zone, the changes include stricter
landecaping requirements, restrictions in the location of surface parking, an
increase in the maximum permitted height of buildings, and a reduction in the

rear yard requirement.

The only area of the City where M-3 properties back onto residential
properties is along McLean Avenue and Broadway Street, between Taylor Street
and Cameron Avenue. These M~3 properties function as a buffer between
single-family residential and heavy industrial uses.
