17.370.010 Purpose.

Industrial Zone. This urban zone allows a wide range of industrial activities including heavy industry such as fabrication, warehousing, processing of raw materials, bulk handling and storage, construction, and heavy transportation. This zone is intended to provide sites for activities which require processing, fabrication, storage, and wholesale trade. Generally, these activities require reasonable accessibility to major transportation corridors including highways, rail, airports or shipping.

Rural Industrial. This zone provides for small-scale light industrial, light manufacturing, recycling, mineral processing, and resource-based goods production uses that are compatible with rural character and do not require an urban level of utilities and services.

A.    The Port of Bremerton chooses to submit a master plan(s) meeting the requirements of Chapter 17.415; or

B.    The Port of Bremerton or other developers of these lands within these areas submit development applications inconsistent with the currently recognized plans.

b.    Lot width – None.

c.    Lot depth – Minimum lot depth shall be two hundred feet.

d.    Lot setback – Minimum lot setback shall be one hundred feet for any yard abutting a residential zone, unless berming and landscaping approved by the director is provided which will effectively screen and buffer the industrial activities from the residential zone which it abuts; in which case, the minimum setback shall be fifty feet.

e.    Front Yard – Minimum front yard setback shall be forty feet.

f.    Side Yard – Minimum side yard setback shall be twenty-five feet.

6.    Administration. As a condition for the granting of a building permit and/or site plan approval, at the request of the director, information sufficient to determine the degree of compliance with the standards in this title shall be furnished by the applicant.
