150.340.1 Purposes.
The Industrial districts (I-1, I-2, and BP) and their regulations are established in order to achieve the
following purposes:
(A) To provide for orderly growth and development in the City of Dayton.
(B) To provide sufficient areas, in appropriate locations, for industrial activities and the
production, distribution and exchange of goods and services.
(C) To reflect and reinforce the existing density and pattern of development while
accommodating the need for future growth.
(D) To protect residential neighborhoods adjacent to industrial districts by establishing
performance standards and restricting the types of establishments that might create noise,
odors or other objectionable influences beyond the district boundaries.
(E) To provide certainty to property owners, developers and neighbors about the limits of
what is allowed in an Industrial district.
(F) To carry out the following specific purposes:
(1) The Light Industrial (I-1) District is intended to provide urban sites for light
industrial uses that conduct nearly all operations within an enclosed building, and
do not have extensive outdoor storage areas or operations. While most buildings
contain clean, light industrial uses, some commercial and office uses may also be
included. As set forth in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, all new industrial
development will be consistent with the existing pattern of development.
(2) The General Industrial (I-2) District accommodates heavy industrial activities
that may include very large structures, extensive exterior storage, exterior
mechanical operations, or heavy truck or equipment operations. As set forth in
the City’s Comprehensive Plan, all new industrial development will be
constructed in a manner that is consistent with the existing pattern of
development in the vicinity of the proposal.

(3) The Business Park (BP) District provides sites in more suburban areas of the city
for modern, clean industry and supporting nonresidential land uses that
complement industrial uses or require an industrial environment. Development is
encouraged in the form of office-industrial parks or business parks with campus-
style layouts and designs. Heavy industrial uses and outdoor storage are
conditionally permitted in selected locations within the BP District. (Ord. 30515-
