[Amended 12-20-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-394]
The M-1 Industrial District promotes the retention
and growth of employment opportunities by providing areas where a
broad range of industrial uses may locate and where options for complementary
uses exist in older two-story and multistory buildings. The obsolescence
of many industrial buildings for traditional manufacturing purposes
is recognized, and the reoccupancy and redevelopment of those buildings
are encouraged through the allowance of retail sales and services,
offices, eating and drinking establishments. Residential conversions
are permitted primarily to accommodate loft-style living spaces and
to meet the needs of those seeking the benefits of live-work arrangements.
