The Light Manufacturing and Industrial Zone (M-1) is intended to be developed with small to moderate sized industry which poses limited environmental impacts in terms of noise, chemical wastes and health and safety hazards. The M-1 Zone provides for uses where small to medium scale equipment is used and which produce low volumes of truck traffic. This zone is also intended for certain limited commercial and service uses which are compatible with the other uses in the zone and which are necessary to serve the businesses in that zone.

The Heavy Manufacturing and Industrial Zone (M-2) is intended to be developed with manufacturing and warehousing activities which typically use heavy equipment, moderate amount of raw materials and products and which use processes requiring careful environmental monitoring.

The uses listed in Table 34-1 shall be permitted, conditionally permitted or prohibited in the M-1 and M-2 Zones as provided herein. In Table 34-1, the letter "P" designates use classifications permitted in the specified zone; the letter "C" designates use classifications permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit, as provided in Article 17 of this chapter.
