CHAPTER 17

20 - MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS

Sections:


17.20.010 - Preamble.

The regulations for manufacturing districts are designed to provide for the establishment of a full range of industrial and allied activities and to govern their operations in a manner that will not have a deleterious effect on residential and business areas consistent with the objectives of the comprehensive plan. It is essential that adequate provisions be made for the expansion of industry, both those existing today and for attracting a diversification of new industry. Adequate industrial sites and industrial expansion will create growth and development of the village's economic and tax base and provide a variety of employment for its labor force.

A.

Intent of M1 Manufacturing District. The M1 manufacturing district is designed to provide an environment suitable for industrial activities that require a pleasant and nuisance-free environment and will be compatible with adjacent residential and business uses.

B.

Intent of M2 Manufacturing District. The M2 manufacturing district is designed to include a special use provision for adult use.
