Subject: Draft Zoning Map, Industrial Zoning District, and Form Standards for Review
Building from the feedback provided at Plan Commission, the guidance provided by the
Comprehensive Plan, and feedback received through public engagement, the following draft
items have been developed for review by the Plan Commission:
• Draft Industrial Zoning District, with the following objectives:
o Reduce the number of industrial zoning districts from the existing two districts to
one. Accommodate the shift by allowing low intensity uses that would
traditionally be classified as a industrial use in the higher intensity mixed use
districts.
o Create flexibility in the types of low impact industrial uses that are allowed in
industrial zoning districts by introducing “Light Manufacturing” as a permitted
use.
o Ensure that public health, safety, and welfare are protected by defining “Heavy
Manufacturing” uses as those where impacts, such as noise, fumes, vibrations, etc.
may extend across property lines, and classifying those uses as a Special Use.
• Draft Form Standards:
o Define form elements, provide illustrations, and provide standards for various
architectural features commonly found in the City of Superior.
o Provide restrictions for where the different form elements are required,
permitted, or not allowed, based on a parcel’s underlying zoning district.
• Draft Zoning Map – a draft zoning map for review reflecting the newly established draft
zoning districts.
