The primary purpose of this district is to establish an area where the principal land is for light industrial operations which are not ordinarily compatible with adjacent residential development.
See § 148-5, Usages.
A. 
Before a building permit shall be issued or construction commenced on any permitted use in this district, or a permit issued for a new use, the plans, in sufficient detail to show the operation and processes, shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for study. The Zoning Administrator may refer these plans to the Commission for recommendation. Modifications of the plan may be required.
B. 
Permitted uses shall be conducted solely within a completely enclosed building or within an area enclosed on all sides by a solid masonry wall, a uniformly painted solid board fence or an evergreen hedge six feet in height. Boat builders, public utilities and signs requiring natural air circulation, unobstructed view or other technical consideration necessary for proper operation may be exempt from this provision. The exception does not include storing of any materials.
C. 
Landscaping may be required within any established or required front setback area. The plans and execution must take into consideration traffic hazards. Landscaping may be permitted up to a height of three feet and to within 50 feet from the corner of any intersecting streets.
D. 
Sufficient area shall be provided for off-street parking of vehicles incidental to the industry, its employees and clients.
For permitted uses utilizing individual sewage disposal systems, the required area for any such use shall be approved by the Health Official. The Zoning Administrator may require a greater area if considered necessary by the Health Official. Public water and sewer systems shall be exempt from area regulations.
Buildings shall be located 40 feet or more from any street right-of-way which is 50 feet or greater in width or 65 feet or more from the center line of any street right-of-way less than 50 feet in width, except that signs advertising sale or rent of the premises may be erected up to the property line. This shall be known as the "setback line."
For permitted uses, the minimum side yard adjoining or adjacent to a residential or agricultural district shall be 20 feet. The side yard of corner lots shall be 20 feet or more.
Buildings may be erected up to a height of 35 feet. Chimneys, flues, cooling towers, flagpoles, radio or communication towers or their accessory facilities not normally occupied by workers are excluded from this limitation. Parapet walls are permitted up to four feet above the limited height of the building on which the walls rest. The height limit for buildings may be increased up to 45 feet. For each parcel adjoining a side street and/or land that is zoned agricultural or residential, the required setback will be increased one foot in width for each foot in height over 35 feet. Buildings over 45 feet in height may be allowed as a conditional use in the Industrial Light Zoning District.

All lots recorded after October 1, 1989, where public sewerage is not provided shall have a reserve drainfield site as well as a primary drainfield site that has been approved by the Health Department.
B. 
All lots recorded prior to October 1, 1989, which do not have a Health Department permit issued prior to October 1, 1989, and where public sewerage is not provided shall have a reserve drainfield site that has been approved by the Health Department. If the Health Department cannot locate both drainfield sites, then only a primary site will be required.
