(a)

Purpose.

(1)

The purpose of the I-1 Industrial District is to provide areas in the village where manufacturing of products from raw materials can develop. Manufacturing uses may require large tracts of land and, in some cases, may require outside storage of materials or product. Some industrial developments may create or tend to create conditions considered to be a public or private nuisance or hazard. In certain cases, manufacturing activities may require special safeguards, equipment, processes, barriers or other forms of protection in order to reduce, eliminate, or separate those conditions from the public or the environment.

(2)

Because the amount of industrial development in the village is minimal and the ability to separate new industrial uses from existing residential development is restricted due to the small land area of the village, it is in the best interest of the village to consider industrial development proposals on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, all uses in the industrial district shall be conditional uses.

(b)

Conditional uses. The following listed uses are allowable as conditional uses in the I-1 district and are subject to the procedures established in article V of this chapter and shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with regard to such matters as the creation of nuisance conditions for the public or for the users of nearby properties, the creation of health hazards, the potential for environmental damage and other factors deemed important in the village.

(1)

Manufacturing establishments in which raw materials are transformed into finished products and establishments engaged in assembling component parts of manufactured products.

(2)

Other industrial or commercial activities which pose potential special problems relating to the creation of hazards or nuisance conditions.

(3)

The outdoor storage of industrial products, machinery, equipment or other materials, provided that such storage is enclosed by a suitable fence or other manner of screening.

(4)

Railroads, railroad yards and structures normally incident to the operation of railroads, not including warehouses owned by establishments other than railroad companies.

(5)

Facilities for the production, processing and storage of concrete and concrete products.

(6)

Garbage, rubbish or waste disposal.

(7)

Creameries, cheese factories, milk processing plants.

(8)

Similar and compatible uses as determined by the zoning committee and confirmed by the village board.

(c)

Height, yard, area and other requirements. See article IV of this chapter for height, yard, area and other requirements.
