The industrial districts established in this ordinance are designed to promote and protect public health, safety and general welfare. These general objectives include, among others, the following specific purposes:

To provide, as far as possible, that such space will be available for use for industrial and related activities, and to protect residences by separating them from industrial activities and by prohibiting the use of such space for new residential development, where required.
C. 
To encourage industrial development which is free from danger of fire, explosions, toxic and noxious matter, radiation and other hazards, and from offensive noise, vibrations, smoke, dust and other particulate matter, odorous matter, heat, humidity, glare and other objectionable influences, by permitting such development in areas where this ordinance restricts the emission of such nuisances, without regard to the industrial products and process enveloped.

E. 
To protect industry and related development against congestion, as far as is possible and appropriate in each area, by limiting the bulk of buildings in relation to the land around them and to one another, and by providing space off public streets for parking and loading facilities associated with such activities.

To promote the most desirable use of land in accord with a well-considered plan, to promote stability of industry and related development, to strengthen the economic base of the Town, to protect the character of the district and its particular suitability for particular uses, to conserve the value of land and buildings.
