Latest version.

  • STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

    This district accommodates areas of heavy and concentrated fabrication, manufacturing and industrial uses which are suitable based upon adjacent land uses, access to transportation and the availability of public services and facilities. It is the intent of this district to provide an environment for industries that is unencumbered by nearby residential or commercial development. "I-1" must be located in areas where conflicts with other uses can be minimized to promote orderly transitions and buffers between uses. These districts are located for convenient access for existing and future arterial thoroughfares and railway lines. These districts are in many instances separated from residential areas by business or light industry areas or by natural barriers; where they are adjacent to residential areas some type of artificial separation may be required. The "I-1" 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).

    •  Natural Resources, Policy 1g: Promote the safe storage of hazardous materials in locations that do not endanger neighborhoods.

    •  Natural Resources, Policy 1g: Identify and establish appropriate locations and standards for the storage of hazardous and toxic materials.

    •  Natural Resources, Policy 1g: Consider during the zoning process and when issuing building permits and certificates of occupancy, the proximity of residential neighborhoods to the storage of hazardous materials.
