<br />Chapter 18.08 Definitions (See entire Chapter here: PMC Chapter 18.08) is hereby amended to read:
<br />
<br />§ 18.08.263. Industrial, light.
<br />"Light industrial" means a category of less intrusive industrial uses that is capable of operation in such a
<br />manner as to control the external effects of manufacturing processes, such as smoke, noise, vibration,
<br />soot, and odor. It includes, but is not limited to:
<br />a. Warehousing, storage, wholesaling, logistics, and distribution uses.
<br />b. Printing, contractors, and business services not generally patronized by the general public.
<br />c. Food processing, recycling, laundry plants, light assembly and fabrication, and other industrial
<br />operations with minimal risk of off-site impacts.
<br />d. Outdoor storage and construction yard space.
<br />e. Artist or artisan workspace that involves the production of an applied art or craft strictly using hand
<br />tools or small mechanical equipment.
<br />limited intensity levels of manufacturing and assembly activities primarily from previously prepared or
<br />refined materials, or from raw materials that do not need refining, warehousing with limited direct public
<br />access, research and development, packaging, and associated offices and similar uses as determined by the
<br />director of community development within an enclosed building. This use category includes, but is not
<br />limited to, food processing, contractors, call centers, textiles, wood products, printing,
<br />pharmaceuticals, machinery manufacturing, research and development, laundry plants, laboratories, and
<br />regional distribution, but excludes basic industrial processing from raw materials, and vehicle/equipment
<br />services.
<br />
<br />§ 18.08.264. Industrial, Innovation-Based Business.
<br />"Innovation-Based Business" ("IBB") means industrial activities characterized by: (a) use of advanced
<br />technology; (b) smaller scale production and/or focus on research & development; (c) operations that are
<br />entirely indoors; and (d) industrial processes that may involve higher investment in equipment and utilities
<br />compared to light industrial uses but do not generate excessive impacts to adjacent properties. Includes
<br />Research & Development (R&D), data centers, pilot production, machinery manufacturing, small-to-medium-
<br />scale production facilities focused on scientific research and the design, development, and testing of
<br />electrical, electronic, magnetic, optical, pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology components and
<br />products, or any other similar uses as determined by the Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission
<br />pursuant to Chapter 18.128. Uses may include the handling of some hazardous materials but regulated so as
<br />to mitigate the risk of off-site impacts. In any district that permits innovation-based businesses, design review
<br />shall be required as prescribed by Chapter 18.20.
<br />
<br />Chapter 18.20 Design Review (See entire Chapter here: PMC Chapter 18.20) is hereby amended to read:
<br />
<br />§ 18.20.010. Projects subject to design review.

<br />safety, and general welfare, the following projects shall be subject to discretionary design review.
