The intent in establishing the I-1 Industrial Zone is to provide a place where manufacturing, processing, warehousing and fabrication of goods and materials can be carried on most appropriately and with minimum conflict or deleterious effects upon surrounding properties. The further intent in establishing the Zone is to promote the economic well-being of the people and to broaden the tax base.
