[Ord. No. 1101-2008 §§1 — 2, 10-20-2008]
This industrial district is intended primarily for production, processing and assembly plants that are operated so that they create limited environmental problems in the way of sounds, smoke, vibrations, noise, odor, dust and glare of such operations and are completely confined within an enclosed building. The industrial district is also intended for the development of office/warehouse uses. This district is established for industrial uses which do not require large amounts of land; generate modest amounts of traffic; are consistent with the capacity and availability of public and private services; and do not permit the intermixing of residential uses.
