Land Use element: Industrial Lands section
Introduction
Seattle
has a long history as a maritime, manufacturing, and freight distribution center for the
region. These
activities are now largely located in industrial zones, and clustered primarily in
two manufacturing/industrial
centers. The industrial areas, generally flat and often created on fill,
have unique
access to transportation infrastructure that includes waterways, railways
and thoroughfares, with
platting and street layouts that have resulted in especially large sites. Industrial zones provide
an important
source of employment for the city and add diversity and strength to the local economic
base. Many
of the uses found in these zones make them generally incompatible with residential and
most commercial
uses. Because some of the conditions in industrial areas are also attractive to other
nonindustrial uses
, it is important to regulate these uses to avoid conflicts with industrial activities
and prevent
displacement of those activities.Slide3
Land Use element: Industrial Lands section
LU11.9 Avoid
placing industrial zones within urban centers or urban villages. However, in
locations where
a center or village borders
a manufacturing/industrial
center, use of the
industrial commercial
zone within the center or village where it abuts the
manufacturing/industrial center
may provide an appropriate transition to help separate residential uses from
heavier industrial
activities
.
Why IC and not IB?Slide4

LU11.22
Limit
the future application of the IC zone inside the M/IC boundaries to prevent
the expansion
of offices and other non‐industrial uses
.Slide5
Growing Seattle: Industrial Lands
GS2.20
Allow land to be removed from a manufacturing/industrial center only when all of the following criteria are met:
A
specific use for that land is proposed
There
is insufficient appropriately-zoned land elsewhere in the city for the proposed use
The
proposed use would not displace an existing industrial use; and
The
proposed use would not adversely affect nearby industrial operations
