The IL-LG district is intended to provide opportunities for certain types of limited industrial uses to concentrate in mutually beneficial relationships to each other; to provide adequate space to meet the needs of modern industrial development, including off-street parking and truck loading areas; and to provide industrial employment opportunities for residents of the city and region. The IL district is intended to protect areas appropriate for industrial use from intrusion by residences and other inharmonious uses; to protect residential, commercial and nuisance-free, nonhazardous industrial uses from noise, odor, dust, dirt, smoke, vibration, heat, glare, fire, explosion, noxious fumes, radiation, hazardous chemicals and other hazardous and objectionable influences incidental to certain industrial uses; and to reserve appropriately located areas for various types of industrial plants and related activities. Land requirements for most limited industrial uses generally dictate a location with close access to major transit corridors and highways without the need for high visibility.
