The manufacturing districts set forth herein
are established to protect public health, safety, comfort, convenience
and the general welfare, and to protect the economic base of the City,
as well as the value of real estate, by regulating manufacturing development
in appropriate locations. Those general objectives include, among
others, the following specific objectives:
A.
To protect established residential areas, and the
health of families living therein, by restricting those nearby manufacturing
activities that may create offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust,
odors, heat, glare, fire hazards, and other objectionable influences
to those areas that are appropriate therefor.
B.
To provide adequate space in appropriate locations
for most types of manufacturing and related activities so that the
economic structure of the community may be strengthened, and that
employment opportunities may be found in the interest of public prosperity
and welfare.
C.
To provide more space for manufacturing activities
in locations accessible to rail and highways, so that the movement
of raw materials, finished products and employees can be carried on
efficiently and with a minimum of danger to public life and property.
D.
To establish proper standards of performance which
will restrict obnoxious manufacturing activities, while at the same
time encourage and permit the manufacturing activities which have
adopted facilities for the processing of finished products without
adversely affecting the health, happiness, safety, convenience and
welfare of the people living and working in nearby areas.
E.
To protect manufacturing districts from incompatible
uses of land by prohibiting the use of such space for new residential
development, thereby preserving the land for a more appropriate use
in accordance with the plans for City improvement and development.
F.
To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance
with a well-considered plan of land use for all of the City, to conserve
the use of property, to promote stability of manufacturing activities
and related development, and to protect the character and established
development in each area of the community, to enhance and stabilize
the value of land and to protect the tax base of the City.
A.
Permitted uses. Since most uses permitted in the M-1
Manufacturing District will be in proximity to residence districts,
it is hereby declared that performance standards shall be high, and
that all manufacturing, processing or assembly of materials and products
must be carried on in a manner not injurious or offensive to the occupants
of adjacent premises by reason of the emission of odors, fumes, gases,
dust, smoke, noise, vibrations, or fire hazards. Therefore, the following
uses are permitted, provided there is compliance with generally recognized
performance standards in relation to residential areas, and provided
