The purpose of the “I-1” Light Industrial District
is to provide a location for industries which do not by their nature
create nuisances. The intent is to preserve this land for industry
in a location beneficial to industries and to prohibit non-industrial
uses. Because of the traffic generated and other objectionable influences
created in this district it is necessary to provide a buffer or setback
area between this district and any other zoning district except “I-2”.
