* Manufacturing, Light

Light Manufacturing is defined as manufacturing, processing, service, storage, wholesale, and distribution operations with most operations contained within an enclosed building with limited outside storage. Light Manufacturing is typified by the fabrication of certain materials and products with limited production of noise, vibration, air pollution, fire hazards, or noxious emissions which would disturb or endanger neighboring properties. Light Manufacturing typically sells its goods to a wholesaler or directly to the end consumer.

Light Manufacturing includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Beverage Manufacturer, Apparel Wholesaler, Bakery Wholesaler, Confectionary Manufacturer, Blacksmith, Creamery, Dairy Manufacturer, Floral Wholesaler, Grocery Wholesaler, Millwork Manufacturer, Hatchery, Textile Manufacturer, Warehousing, Appliance Manufacturer and Wholesaler, Electrical Instrument Manufacturer and Wholesaler, Office Machine Manufacturer and Wholesaler, Machine Tool Manufacturer and Wholesaler, Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, and Food Product Manufacturer and Wholesaler, but not Animal Slaughtering, Curing, or Rendering of Fats.

** Manufacturing, Heavy

Heavy Manufacturing is defined as a type of business with high capital costs, high barriers to entry, and low transportability. The term "heavy" refers to items produced by "heavy industry," such as iron, coal, oil, ships, et cetera. Today, "heavy" also refers to industries that cause harm or disruption to the environment.

Heavy Manufacturing is associated with heavy industrial development, including storage, major freight terminals, waste and salvage, resource extraction, processing, transportation, major utilities, and other related uses, particularly those that require large buildings, frequent heavy truck traffic for supplies or shipments, or that may require substantial mitigation to avoid sound, noise, electrical interference, and odor impacts on neighboring properties.

Heavy Manufacturing typically sells its goods to other industrial customers, rather than to the end consumer. Heavy Manufacturing products tend to be a part of the supply chain of other products sold to the end consumer.

Heavy Manufacturing includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Automobile Component Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, Insulation Manufacturing, Poultry Farm, Paint Manufacturing, Wood Processing, Ammonia/Chlorine Manufacturing, Principal Storage of Flammable/Toxic/Explosive or Noxious Materials, Concrete Mixing or Batching Plants, Fertilizer or Pesticide Manufacturing, Petroleum or Asphalt Refining/Manufacturing, Paper Mill, Rubber Manufacturing, and Stockyards.
