The purpose of the IP Industrial Park District is to encourage in appropriate locations the development of industrial subdivisions which will be characterized by a park-like openness with attractive modern buildings set in an appropriate landscaped environment. Industries located therein shall be harmoniously integrated with each other and compatible to that portion of the Village within which the industrial park is located. Area requirements for the District are designed to promote the concentration of these desirable industries so that necessary common facilities may be provided and used in order that problems of utilities, access, fire control, traffic control, and other services may be more easily solved.
