Environmental Constraint Overlay Area <br /> (See Figure at End of Article) <br /> Section 6-760. Purpose and Intent. <br /> There are certain properties within the City with environmental constraints that were <br /> created by past land uses. The City recognizes in these situations that conformance with <br /> underlying zoning regulations may be difficult due to site characteristics that resulted <br /> from those environmental issues and/or remediation efforts. Further, the City recognizes <br /> that it may not be feasible to comply with underlying zoning designations due to these <br /> environmental characteristics. <br /> Rather than leave these sites dormant or allow them to persist as unsightly or <br /> underutilized, the City wishes to provide a means to develop or use these properties that <br /> is both practical and economical. The City recognizes that certain deviations from the <br /> industrial district standards may be necessary for a viable use to develop and evolve so <br /> that landowners are able to make good use of property. <br /> It is the intent of the Environmental Constraint Overlay Area to provide the legislative <br /> means to meet land use goals for these unique sites. <br /> Section 7-770. Designation of the Environmental Constraint Overlay Area. <br /> Property to be included in the Environmental Constraint Overlay Area is illustrated in <br /> Figure A. <br /> Requests for additional Pproperty may to be included by ordinance in the Environmental <br /> Constraint Overlay Area may be considered by following the procedures set forth in <br /> Section 8-320 to 8-350, provided the property meets the following requirements at the <br /> time of application: <br /> (1) Underlying I-1, Light Industrial or I-2, Heavy Industrial zoning <br />
