A.

M-1, Manufacturing District: The M-1, Manufacturing District is established to provide sites for research and high technology uses of a restricted, light industrial nature. The prime characteristics of this district are the low intensity of land coverage and the absence of nuisance factors. Permitted uses shall be performed or carried out entirely within a building that is so designed and constructed that the enclosed operations and uses do not cause or produce a nuisance to other lots or properties such as, but not limited to, vibration, sound, electromechanical disturbances, radiation, air or water pollution, dust, or emission of odorous toxic or nontoxic matter, nor create a potential for explosion or other hazard.

In certain limited locations medium intensity, industrial uses are permitted in locations that do not encroach into areas or districts where they would be incompatible. All activities within the M-1 Manufacturing District shall be subject to limitations placed upon the amount of noise, smoke, glare, traffic, and industrial effluent which shall be produced as a result of that activity.

B.

M-2, Heavy Manufacturing District: The M-2, Heavy Manufacturing District is established to provide for higher intensity manufacturing, assembling, and fabricating uses, including large scale or specialized industrial operations requiring truck and/or railroad access and public utility services. Provision of this District ensures that these essential industrial facilities are kept from encroaching in areas or Districts where they would be incompatible. All activities carried on within the M-2 Heavy Manufacturing District shall be subject to limitations placed upon the amount of noise, smoke, glare, traffic, and industrial effluent which shall be produced as a result of that activity.

A.

Schedule of Uses: The following uses of land and structures shall be permitted in the various manufacturing districts as provided for in Table 7.01. Land and/or buildings in the districts indicated at the top of the table may be used for the purposes denoted by a "P" in the column below by right with approval by the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures and requirements of Article 8, Site Plan Review Procedures and Requirements. Land and/or buildings in the districts indicated at the top of the table may be used for the purposes denoted by "S" by special land use approval by the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures and requirements of Article 8, Site Plan Review Procedures and Requirements and Article 9, Special Land Uses. A notation of "- -" indicates that the use is not permitted within the district. Where conditions apply to a use, the Section references containing such conditions are indicated in the right column.

A.

Manufacturing Districts Schedule of Area and Bulk Requirements: No building or structure, nor the enlargement of any building of structure, shall be hereafter erected unless the following requirements are met and maintained in connection with such building, structure, or enlargement.

B.

Footnotes: The following footnotes apply to Table 7.03:

1.

Front yard setback for built-up streets. Where an existing front setback has been established by existing buildings occupying forty (40%) percent or more of the frontage within the same block, such established setback shall apply.

2.

Access drives in yards. Access drives may be placed in the required front or side yards so as to provide access to rear yards or accessory or attached structures. These drives shall not be considered structural violations of the required front or side yards.

3.

Increased building height. The Planning Commission may approve a building which exceeds the maximum permitted height; however, under no circumstance shall the height exceed fifty (50) feet within the M-1 district and eighty (80) feet within the M-2 district. The Planning Commission shall apply one or more of the following standards in approving a building of greater height.

a.

No less than fifty (50%) percent of the site is retained as open space with a permeable/landscaped coverage.

b.

The building materials are brick, stone, or comparable product.

c.

The structure demonstrates enhanced energy efficiency through the application of alternative energy sources, utilization of less energy consumptive materials, and the employment of construction techniques which result in a demonstratable reduction in the level of waste.
