The Industrial District designations are intended to reserve areas for industrial use; protect industrial uses from incompatible uses such as dwellings; protect residential, commercial, and nuisance-free industrial uses from the adverse effects of certain industrial uses; minimize traffic and loading issues on nearby land uses; and, facilitate the planning and provision of infrastructure improvements to meet the industrial needs of Belle Fourche.
