This District is designed to provide the location and space for all manner of industrial uses, wholesale, commercial, and industrial storage facilities. It is the purpose of these regulations to permit the development of certain functions; to protect the abutting residential and commercial properties from incompatible industrial activities; to restrict the intrusion of non-related uses such as residential, retail business, and commercial; and to encourage the discontinuance of uses presently existing in the district, which are nonconforming by virtue of the type of use. To these ends, certain uses are excluded which would function more effectively in other districts and which would interfere with the operation of the uses permitted in this District.
