§ 6. I-1 restricted manufacturing and warehousing district

6.1 General description. This industrial district is intended primarily for manufacturing and assembly plants and warehousing that are conducted so the noise, odor, dust and glare of each operation is completely confined within an enclosed building. These industries may require direct access to rail, air or street transportation facilities; however, the size and volume of the raw materials and finished products involved should not produce the volume of freight generated by the uses of I-2 industrial district. Buildings in this district should be architecturally attractive and surrounded by landscaped yards.

6.2 Uses permitted.

(a) Any use permitted by Schedule I allowed uses in the district. No dwelling uses, except sleeping facilities for caretakers and night watchmen employed on the premises, is permitted.

These requirements do not waive or modification (modify) the requirements contained in the Sachse City Code concerning environmental emissions. Any article or material stored temporarily outside of an enclosed building as an incidental part of the primary operation shall be so screened by ornamental walls and fences or evergreen planting that it cannot be seen from adjoining public streets or adjacent lots when viewed by a person standing at ground level.

(d) Temporary construction facilities incidental to the development of property as permitted in this district and which shall be removed when construction work is completed.
