This zone is intended to provide for and encourage the orderly development of light manufacturing, wholesaling, and commercial service within the community. Such areas are vital to the community's economic health and well-being by providing employment and an important revenue source for the city. The provisions of this zone are intended to ensure that manufacturing service areas will be compatible with adjacent, non-industrial development and will protect such areas from potential hazards of industrial development.
