The City's zoning <br />regulations should continue to contain development and <br />design standards that minimize the potential for conflicts <br />between industrial and residential uses, and between <br />commercial and residential uses. <br />IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES <br />Development Review <br />Zoning Code <br />Action 10.03 A: Industrial - Residential Buffering <br />Standards <br />Continue to implement zoning provisions for buffering <br />along industrial /residential inter face areas.
