The purpose of establishing the following two industrial districts
within the Borough of Collingdale is to permit and regulate manufacturing,
warehousing, processing and light industrial uses in order to provide
an adequate tax base and sufficient employment for the people of Collingdale
and other communities of Delaware County. Existing industrial uses
and areas currently in the two industrial districts take up a large
portion of the Borough's land area and have a large impact on
the Borough. These regulations are intended to make maximum benefit
of the industrial areas and to reduce the negative impact that industry
can have on the residential and shopping areas of the Borough. At
the same time, it is the intent of these regulations to encourage
industrial development and expansion to the maximum extent possible
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with sound land use practices.
