§ 35-310.12. "L" Light Industrial.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This district provides for a mix of light manufacturing uses, office park, flex-space, and limited retail and service uses that services the industrial uses with proper screening and buffering, all compatible with adjoining uses.

The "L" district implements the following policies of the master plan:

•  Ensure that proposed land uses and development are compatible in their use, character and size to the site and the surrounding areas (Growth Management, Policy 1b).

•  Support and encourage efforts to diversify the economic base of San Antonio (Economic Development, Policy 1e).

The zone and its uses should continue the orderly development and concentration of industrial and manufacturing uses. The land area should be sufficient to maintain compatibility with surrounding uses.

(a)

Loading docks may be located in the rear yard, or a side yard facing a street that is internal to an "L," "I-1" or "I-2" zoning district.
