It is the intent of this district to provide, in appropriate
locations, for the development of warehousing, manufacturing, processing
and limited commercial uses. Intensive industrial uses are not encouraged
due to the absence of public water and sanitary sewer, the lack of
adequate highway and rail access, the presence of sensitive natural
features throughout the Township, and the availability of more suitable
areas for intensive industrial uses in neighboring communities. Industrial
districts are intended to be limited to those areas designated as
industrial on the Future Land Use Map of the Township's Master Plan
and with the objectives of that plan for industry.
