' ' Industrial Report July 1953" is the f i r s t of several reports which
w i I l serve as a basis of a revised Comprehensive Plan. This report based
on studies which began i n 1946 recommends plans and regulations by which
i n d u a t q may be developed i n the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County.
Future reports w i l l include a supplement which should be completed by
January 1, 1954 f o r the City of Louisvil le. The supplement w i l l recommend
revisions i n t h e indus t r ia l zoning plan and i n the Zoning Ordinance.
Areas recommended f o r redevelopment f o r indus t r ia l purposes w i l l a lso
be included, Other reports t o be issued i n 195'3 and 195'4 f o r Louisvil le
and Jefferson County w i l l d ea l with commercial and res ident ia l land use
plans, parkg and playgrounds, populations, neighborhoods, and a s t r ee t and
highway plan.
This report is divided in to two parts, The first part deals with
an analysis of ex is t ing indus t r i a l land use - population - labor force
relationships, and the determination of trends which provides a method
t o calculate the fu ture indus t r ia l land needs of Louisvil le and Jefferson
County, The second par t is concerned with a zoning plan and zoning .a
regulations t h a t meet the predicted needs. Louisville and Jefferson
County need land s e t aside f o r industry t h a t w i l l give people jobs and
I a l s o pay taxes f o r community improvements, Industry provides the l i f e I _
blood of wages and sa l a r i e s which support residences and business.
IiWUSTRIAL Urn, USE
An understanding of the exis t ing indus t r ia l land uses i n Jefferson
County and i n the Metropolitan Area is necessary f o r the development of
a comprehensive study. Without knowledge of the indus t r ia l acreages i n
use by type and Location, predictions of future needs become a matter
of mere guess and speculation,
%a t does a look a t the Metropolitan Area reveal? On July, 1952,
4201 acres of land were found t o be used indus t r ia l ly , O f these 38b6
acres were i n Jefferson County with 3&0 being i n indus t r ia l aoned areas,
7hO being i n non-conforming uses, 198 i n quarries, and 136 in the Naval
Ordnance s i t e . I n Jefferson County, 20,941 acres were a oned f o r i ndus t r i a l
purposes with 45'25 acres being used f o r non-industrial re la ted uses which
should be rezoned f o r res ident ia l purposes, 8,259 acres were being used
fo r indus t r ia l nelatsd uses, and 4725 acres were available f o r industry.
I n the Bdetropolitan Area 8.4% of a l l i ndus t r i a l acreage involving
manufactur;lpg is found t o be i n Indiana. (This does not include Government
In s t a l l a t i ons , See Table l a ] This report assumes t h a t t h i s percentage
w i l l not change appreciably, Recent l a rge additions t o the i ndus t r i a l
i base i n Jeffersqn County compared t o r e l a t i ve ly small increases i n Indiana
I I appear t a substant ia te t h i s assumption, The tax s t ruc ture i n Indiana and
the lack of adequate transportation f a c i l i t i e s a l so may re ta rd any tendency
t o increase the indus t r ia l base i n Floyd and Clark Counties. The Government
i n s t a l l a t i ons cannot be considered a s po ten t ia l indus t r ia l s i t e s s ince these
ins ta l la t ions are permanent i n nature.

The es t imat ion of f u t u r e i n d u s t r i a l land use needs should be based

The establishment of an i n d u s t r i a l land use plan based upon such f a c t s w i l l
be nearer t o r e a l i t y than would a plan adopted without t h e benef i t of any

From Par t I, t h e following i s derived, By 1975 Louisvi l le Metropolitan
Population i s es t imated t o be 811,085, hs% of the population is expected
t o be i n t h e l abor fo rce f o r a t o t a l of 365,000, 95% of labor fo rce t o be
employed f o r a t o t a l of 3L7,000, and 37% of those employed t o be i n indust ry
(manufacturing) f o r a t o t a l of 128,500, This means t h a t by 1975 t h e r e
e x i s t s t h e p r o b a b i l i t y t h a t bletropolitan Area indust ry w i l l be employing
128,500 workers. Land, therefore , must be reserved f o r t h e indust ry t h a t
w i l l employ these many workers and t h a t w i l l expand, b u i l d new p lan t s ,
or come t o the Louisvi l le a rea ,
A t t h i s point a p a t i o must be determined between land and employment
t o permit the es t imat ion of land needs, The fol lowing t a b l e compares

t h a t would meet s t a t i s t i c a l figures. Accumulative resu l t s occur when a t r a c t -

t o give equally s i tua ted property the same opportunities and the sm protection,
Therefore, i n the f i n a l analysis - the actual acreage t o be aoned may exceed

NEW lNDUSTRIAL ZDNIWG REGULATIONS >
The proposed Zoning Regulations have been prepared t o recognize changes
i n indus t r ia l technology and t o a id i n carrying out an indus t r ia l land use
plan. Five features which a re included should be noted, A d i s t r i c t , the
llE-ln Di s t r i c t w i l l permit the establishment of l i g h t indus t r ia l use9 as
buffers between resident ia l areas and railroads, indus t r ia l amas, and highways
by enumerating high standards of development and by not permitting commercial
uses i n areas zoned TIE-IU. Protection is thus given t o both homes and t o the
higher c lass indus t r ia l de;elopments, A second feature i s the inclusion i n
each d i s t r i c t regulation a statement of purpose which indicates generallg
the type qf industr ies permitted. The t h i r d feature is t h e grouping of
uses i n each d i s t r i c t i n to categories t o permit within the regulations easy
reference t o the various indus t r ia l uses,
The fourth feature is found i n the r1E-31t and nE-4" Dis t r i c t s wherein
a height regulation has been writ ten t h a t imposes no height l imitat ion on
s t ructures except where such s t ruc tures a re near res ident ia l zoned districts.
Modern indus t r ia l buildings seldom exceed one s to ry and a height l imitat ion
is a superflous regulation. ?he f i n a l feature involyes t h e concept +.hat
"E-4" indus t r ia l areas should not be developed with nesidential subdivisions,
Homes b u i l t i n such areas a re subject t o varlous e1eimnt.s t h a t may a f f e c t
the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people. The prohibition
of res ident ia l subdivision encroachment in to heavy indus t r ia l areas serves
two purposes. The separation of major indus t r ia l sites in to smaller parcels
d i f f i c u l t of future assembly is discouraged and the development of blighted
areas and a l l they mean t o the cornunity is pevented.
