SECTION 4

13.- "ILW" Industrial, Light and Warehousing

Sec. 4.13.1.- Districts and intent.

The "ILW" Industrial, Light and Warehousing category includes one zone district: ILW.

Service and commercial activities relating to the character of the district and supporting its activities are permitted. Certain commercial uses relating to automotive and heavy equipment sales and repair are permitted, but this district is not to be deemed commercial in character.

Performance standards are applied at lot lines (see article 14).
