The regulations for Mendota's M Manufacturing District are designed
to provide for the establishment of a full range of industrial and
allied activities and to govern their operations in a manner that
will not have a deleterious effect on the remainder of the community.
It is essential that there are adequate provisions for the expansion
of industry, both those existing today and for attracting new industry.
Adequate industrial site and industrial expansion will create growth
and development of the City's economic and tax base and provide a
variety of employment for its labor force. The M Manufacturing District
is characterized by moderate-sized industry which poses limited environmental
impacts in terms of noise, chemical wastes and health or safety hazards.
