The intent of the IND Industrial district is to encourage the development of industrial establishments in settings conducive to public health; economic stability and growth; protection from blight, deterioration and nonindustrial encroachment; and efficient traffic movement including employee and truck traffic. Land appropriate for this district is limited in availability and is therefore primarily restricted to industrial use in the interest of the community's tax base and its economic growth and development.

The IND Industrial district is also designed to provide locations for retail and service businesses that are industrial in nature. Uses may include automotive repair, landscape supplies, home improvement supplies, contractors and self-storage facilities. The nature of these uses would not be compatible with other commercial shopping areas of the city due to the character of buildings, large amount of outdoor storage and use of trucks, and construction equipment. Recreational uses due to the nature of the use and size of buildings may also be appropriate in this district.
