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.
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?
Land Use element: Industrial Lands section 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.
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
