A.

Business/Commercial (B). The primary use within the B District is intended to allow for appropriately located groups of retails stores, office buildings, service establishments and civic uses serving the needs of the neighborhood, of such character, scale, appearance, and intensity to be compatible with the surrounding areas.

B.

Light Industrial (I-1). The I-1 District is intended to allow industrial development with minimal impact to residential and commercial areas. Such zones will require setbacks and landscaping to ensure compatibility with any abutting residential areas. The regulations of this District are intended to provide structural standards, standards of intensity of use and standards of external effects compatible with the surrounding or abutting residential districts. To these ends, development is limited to low intensity, external effects are limited and permitted uses are limited to those manufacturing and wholesaling activities which can be operated in a clean and quiet manner. Beginning June 1, 2022, no additional properties will be zoned I-1; provided, however, that all properties with existing I-1 zoning will continue to be classified as I-1, and will continue to be subject to the requirements that apply to I-1 zoning districts.

C.

General Industrial (I-2). The I-2 District intended to allow a less restrictive type of industrial development where the necessary characteristics of industrial operation will not adversely affect nearby residential and business uses. The purpose of the District is to permit the normal operation of almost all industries, subject to those regulations necessary for mutual protection of nearby property owners in the lawful use of their respective properties, and the public health, safety and general welfare. Beginning June 1, 2022, no additional properties will be zoned I-2; provided, however, that all properties with existing I-2 zoning will continue to be classified as I-2, and will continue to be subject to the requirements that apply to I-2 zoning districts.

D.

Industrial/employment (I-E). The I-E District is intended to support the local economy through job creation and economic development and the establishment of employment-based businesses in town-wide industrial employment centers, with minimal impact to residential and commercial areas. The regulations of this district are intended to provide structural standards, including standards governing intensity of use and external effects, that are compatible with the surrounding and/or abutting residential districts. Accordingly, development is limited to those low-intensity employment, manufacturing, and wholesaling uses that can be operated in a clean and quiet manner.

E.

For those properties zoned PD, the PD plan for which references the I-1 and/or I-2 use allowance, any property so designated shall be developed in accordance with the I-1 and/or I-2 design criteria set forth in this chapter, as applicable.
