reclassify them as conditional uses in order to ensure that they receive special <br /> consideration regarding the impacts on the industrial neighborhood and land uses in the <br /> vicinity. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Delete Hotels and Motels from Permitted Uses in the MIC /L and MIC /H <br /> Add to Conditional Uses in MIC /L and MIC /H <br /> Financial— Banking, mortgage and other services (TMC 18.38.020) <br /> Analysis: This use is treated inconsistently in the MIC. In the MIC /L, financial services <br /> are grouped with other office uses that are permitted if under 20,000 s.f. This size <br /> limit is appropriate to smaller, customer service bank branches. However, financial <br /> uses are permitted outright in the MIC /H without regard to building size. Rather than <br /> providing customer related banking services for employees in the immediate area as <br /> intended, this could permit a large financial office building to be built. Financial <br /> services in the MIC should be limited to a "retail" type use serving employees in the <br /> immediate area. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Delete Financial banking, mortgage and other services from Permitted Uses in MIC /H <br /> Add the underscored changes to Conditional Uses, Retail Sales TMC 18.38.040.9 <br /> Retail sales of health and beauty aids, prescription drugs, food, hardware, notions, <br /> crafts and craft supplies, housewares, consumer electronics, photo equipment, and <br /> film processing, books, magazines, stationery, clothing, shoes, flowers, plants, <br /> pets, jewelry, gifts, recreation equipment and sporting goods, and similar items; <br /> retail services such as beauty and barber shops, financial services, outpatient <br /> medical services, and health clubs: retail sales and services are limited to uses of a <br /> type and size that clearly intend to serve other permitted uses and /or the <br /> employees of those uses. <br /> Manufacturing <br /> Analysis: Examples of heavy industrial and manufacturing uses in the MIC zone include <br /> the Boeing Corporation and Jorgensen Forge. Other companies produce and repair <br /> equipment for trucks, process and package food, machine gears, and similar. <br /> Manufacturing, processing, assembly and packaging uses are listed in TMC 18.36 for <br /> MIC /L and 18.38 for MIC /H. All MIC /L manufacturing uses are permitted in the MIC /H <br /> zone. Manufacturing uses exclusive to the MIC /H include additional heavy metal and <br /> chemical/ solvent related processing that have greater potential of creating external <br /> environmental impacts. Separately listing the items that are manufactured and <br /> processed is intended to ensure that activities with similar characteristics are grouped to <br /> provide clarity. Changing technologies and production processes make it difficult to <br /> consider and list all possible uses, however the Code provides the Community <br /> W: \Long Range Projects \MIC Study \Issues &Opps \MIC- Logo \Issues&OppsReport.doc Page 20 <br />
