East Bethel City Zoning Code
SECTION 48

1.- Purpose.
The light industrial (I) district is intended and designed to provide areas of the city suitable for activities and uses that are commercial and general services related and/or of a light industrial nature. These are areas that have the prerequisites for industrial development, but because of proximity to residential areas or the need to protect certain areas or uses from adverse influences, high development standards will be necessary.
