1. 
It is the purpose of this district to provide opportunities for the development and/or continuation of a range of industrial uses, including those existing uses that have been in operation over a considerable period of time. The district permits such uses when they are in compliance with the performance standards contained in this Part. The district requirements are intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the Township residents, workers at such establishments, and visitors to the Township.
2. 
The district also permits agricultural and residential uses, with the latter intended to reflect existing development within and adjacent to the district. As such, residential uses are permitted on a limited basis, with single-family detached dwellings upon land developments of five or fewer lots being permitted as consistent with existing development and more extensive developments and developments using the retained open space option being permitted only by conditional use to assure compatibility with existing and potential nonresidential uses. Use of the retained open space development option is permitted and encouraged.
