The purpose of this district is to
provide sufficient space in appropriate locations for certain types
of business and manufacturing, relatively free from offense, in modern
landscaped buildings, to make available more attractive locations
for these businesses and industries and to provide opportunities for
employment closer to places of residence with corresponding reduction
of travel time from home to work. Certain commercial uses are permitted,
primarily for service to employees in the district. Typical development
in the district would be that which is commonly known as an "industrial
park." Accessory signs of limited area and application are permitted.
The uses permitted in this district
shall be subject to the following special conditions:
A.

enclosed building with no open storage of raw, in-process or finished
material. Supplies or waste may be stored in the open if screened

the district, no part of any building, accessory structure or sign
shall be located closer than 100 feet to any residential district
boundary.
C.

E.

be provided for off-street loading and in such a way that, in the

or private drive or street used for traffic circulation.
