The truck terminal district, located in relation to the community¿s future plan for development, is the most practical solution for locating truck terminals. The district will most effectively serve the needs of the trucking industry and result in a minimum of land use and traffic problem created by the trucking operation. Designated terminal districts, indicated on the future land use plan, will assure both the community and the trucking industry of properly located truck terminals. In addition, large metropolitan areas, especially major distribution centers, may have planned terminal districts developed in the same manner as planned industrial districts. Most communities can effectively control the trucking operation by permitting truck terminals and related facilities in a manufacturing or industrial district of the zoning ordinance with special requirements pertinent to the trucking operation.
