IG Industrial General District Royal Palm Beach, Florida

Royal Palm Beach's general industrial district, intended as a park-like development of mutually harmonious industries, research facilities and educational institutions - explicitly designed to protect those uses from encroachment by commercial and residential development. It adopts the entire IL Industrial Limited permitted-use list by reference and adds manufacturing/limited processing and assembly, indoor vehicle sales, and automobile/truck rental (indoor or outdoor) as BY RIGHT uses - all of which are only special exceptions in IL.
