shall be paid when the underlying zoning of M-2 Industrial shall be

Every building hereafter erected or used and every lot hereafter
used or occupied shall comply with the following area regulations:

(1) M-1 and M-2 Manufacturing Districts. Not more than 50% of the lot
area shall be occupied by buildings, and a total of not more than

driveways, sidewalks and other paved or impervious surfaces.
[Amended 4-3-2014 by Ord.
No. 2014-08]
C. Yards.
(1) Front yard. There shall be a front yard on each street on which a
lot abuts which shall be not less than 50 feet in depth. The 25 feet
of the required front yard adjoining the street line shall be appropriately
landscaped; the parking of passenger vehicles shall be permitted in
the twenty-five-foot portion of the required front yard closest to
the building.
(2) Other yards. A perimeter yard of not less than 30 feet shall be provided along all other boundary lines of the lot, except where yards of a greater dimension are required in Subsection
D below. Where such perimeter yard abuts a railroad or a utility right-of-way, the perimeter yard may be reduced to not less than 10 feet.
D. Yard in manufacturing districts adjacent to residence district boundary
line.
(1) In manufacturing districts along any residence district boundary
line or adjacent to any public or private school site(s) and/or facility(ies),
the following regulations shall apply:
(a)
A buffer yard of not less than 100 feet in width shall be provided
which shall be used only as a landscaped buffer area which shall include
berms and plantings such as hedges, evergreens, shrubberies or other
suitable plantings, which shall be provided and maintained in a fashion
to act as an effective screen in all four seasons.
(b)
No building in which manufacturing or processing operations

district boundary line. This requirement shall not apply to office
or administrative buildings, parking facilities, storage buildings,
tanks and appurtenances or other buildings which do not include manufacturing
or processing operations.
(2) Where a street constitutes a boundary line, the yard shall be measured
from the street line. Where land in an adjoining residence district
is held in common ownership with contiguous land in a manufacturing
district, 50 feet of such land in a residence district may be used
in meeting the above requirements, but such land used to meet the
yard and buffer requirements may not thereafter be sold separately
if such sale would reduce the yard space below minimum requirements.
No building shall exceed 80 feet in height, provided that such
height limits may be exceeded in the M-2 Manufacturing District when
authorized as a conditional use by the Planning Board.
