The manufacturing district regulations are intended to govern the locations, types, scope and method of operations for industrial and allied establishments within the framework of the industrial growth goals of the village. The regulations are designed to preserve those lands designated on the village comprehensive plan for industrial and allied developments by preventing intrusions of structures and uses that do not complement or are not compatible with the use of such lands for desired industrial developments. In addition, uses hereafter established in the manufacturing district are regulated in accordance with their compliance with performance standards governing methods of operations. Thus, the regulations are intended to provide specific controls for governing tolerable levels of emission of noise, smoke and particulate matter, odors and other potential nuisances, and for providing adequate landscaped yards and other open areas in order to maintain desirable environmental qualities within the manufacturing district.
