Uses which are permitted by right, conditionally, or by special exception are listed in Article 18, Use Regulations. Dimensional regulations are presented in Article 19, Dimensional Regulations. Other applicable requirements for development within any industrial zoning district are presented throughout this chapter.
A. 
Objectives.
(1) 
The district is flexible in allowing nearly the full range of industrial operations, as well as high-impact uses which might not conventionally be considered industrial: sawmills, power-generating plants, and warehouse and distribution facilities. It also may accommodate those uses generally classified as assembly, high technology, precision manufacturing, research and development, light industrial, and similar office-type functions (see Article 2 definitions for "industry, light" and "industry, heavy").
(2) 
Maintain flexibility in siting the General Industrial District because of design standards which manage potential environmental impacts.
(3) 
Exercise a minimal to moderate level of aesthetic review based upon the level of segregation from retail-type businesses, residential areas, and ecological resources.
B. 
Development standards.
(1) 
All manufacturing, processing, assembly, fabrication, servicing and repair operations must be carried out within an entirely enclosed building unless waived by conditional use.
(2) 
No industrial building or operation shall be situated closer than 100 feet to the boundary line of any adjacent residential property. The Planning Board may reduce this setback to 50 feet by conditional use or where the use is accessory to a primary commercial use.
(3) 
The use, processing, and generation of hazardous substances is strictly regulated in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal law.
A. 
Objectives. The Recycling Industrial District is established to accommodate large-scale, land-intensive landfill, recycling, and junkyard type uses such as those situated off Rochester Neck Road. The facilities should be designed for maximum efficiency, compatible with their natural surroundings, and incorporate sufficient buffers to insulate surrounding residential areas from adverse impacts.
B. 
Development standards.
(1) 
Any outside processing activities and storage facilities shall be fully screened from the road and from any abutting residential property. This requirement shall not apply to active landfills whose elevation practically precludes such screening.
(2) 
No landfill, recycling, or junkyard operation shall be situated closer than 200 feet to the boundary line of any adjacent residential property.
