[Added 12-4-2003 by L.L. No. 8-2003]
A. Purpose and intent.
(1)
The purpose of this district is to allow the creation of a "shovel-ready" industrial park such that allowed uses that meet the criteria of this chapter may proceed to construction upon obtaining a building permit without the need for site plan review. Allowed uses that do not meet these criteria may follow the procedures for site plan review contained in Article
VII, §
220-27.
(2)
It is further the intent of this district that the regulations
and restrictions be applied to the Northway Business Park formerly
known as "Veterans Field."
B. Permitted principal uses.
(1)
Any light manufacturing, assembly, production, office, or other
industrial or research use that complies with the standards of this
chapter and the model site plan and the submission site plan, which
are hereby made a part of this chapter. The "Model Site Plan," incorporated
herein is titled "Veterans Field Light Industrial Park," dated April
26, 2000, and consists of the following drawings:
