The purpose of the M-1 zone is to provide a wide variety of light industry, fabricating, processing, wholesale distributing and warehousing uses appropriately located relative to major transportation facilities and separated from residential zoning districts. The majority of these business activities will be conducted within enclosed buildings. Land use in this district shall be constructed and operated to ensure that there is no excessive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, toxic or noxious matter, humidity, heat or glare at or beyond the lot line of the parcel on which such an operation is located. In addition, the manufacturing zone advances the following objectives:

   A.   To reserve potential industrial use areas, protecting them from intrusion by dwellings and other incompatible uses;

   B.   To provide sufficient open space around industrial structures to protect the public from hazards and to minimize the impact of industrial operations on residential and commercial uses;

   C.   To minimize traffic congestion and to avoid the overloading of utilities by restricting the construction of buildings of excessive size in relation to the amount of land around them. (Ord. 256 art. III § 6A, 1993)
