The I-1 Industrial One Districts are designed
to primarily accommodate wholesale activities, warehouses, and industrial
operations whose external, physical effects are restricted to the
area of the district and in no manner affect in a detrimental way
any of the surrounding districts. The I-1 District is so structured
as to permit, along with any specified uses, the manufacturing, compounding,
processing, packaging, assembly, and/or treatment of finished or semifinished
products from previously prepared material, it being the intent of
this section that the processing or manufacturing from raw materials
not be permitted. The general goals of this use district include,
among others, the following specific purposes:
A.
To provide sufficient space, in appropriate locations,
to meet the needs of the Township’s expected future economy
for all types of manufacturing and related uses;
B.
To protect abutting residential districts by separating
them from manufacturing activities, and by prohibiting the use of
such industrial areas for new residential development;
C.
To encourage manufacturing development and warehousing
which is free from danger of fire, explosions, toxic and noxious matter,
radiation, and other hazards, and from offensive noise, vibration,
smoke, and other objectionable nuisances;
D.
To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance
with a well considered plan;
E.
To protect the character and established pattern of
adjacent development, and in each area to conserve the value of land
and buildings and other structures, and to protect the Township’s
tax revenue.
