Special Heavy Industrial These areas are designated to accommodate relocation of existing heavy industrial uses inside the urban growth boundary (UGB) that do not have sufficient room for expansion and to accommodate a limited range of other heavy industries in order to broaden the manufacturing base of thc metropolitan economy and to take advantage of the natural resources of this region. These areas are also designated to a!sc, accommodate new uses likely to benefit from local advantage for processing, preparing, and storing raw materials, such as timber, agriculture, aggregate, or by-products or waste products from other manufacturing processes. Land divisions in these areas shall be controlled to protect large parcels (40-acre minimum parcel size). Because city services are not available to these areas in the short-term, terms may be allowed to provide on-site the necessary minimum level of key urban facilities and services subject to standards applied by Lane County and subject to applicable state, federal, and local environmental standards. Owners of developing parcels must also meet the legal and institutional requirements addressed in Policy 2~1, Chapter Ili B, "Economy Element", This designation accommodates industrial developments that need large parcels, particularly those with rail access.

Two areas are designated Special Heavy Industrial. Listed below are the names of the two areas and applicable land division standards, use limitations, and annexation and servicing provisions.
