This district is intended to reserve appropriately located areas for various types of processing, assembly, storage and manufacturing uses and related activities; protect such areas from intrusion by residential or inharmonious commercial uses; regulate and control hazardous or objectionable influences incidental to certain industrial uses; and provide areas with adequate space, access and separation from residential, commercial and public uses to promote modern industrial development. The development of any industrial use which utilizes or processes liquids or solids that are obnoxious or are hazardous shall be subject to a conditional use permit. Automobile wrecking yards and incidental auto sales attached to automobile wrecking yards are also subject to a conditional use permit. The light industrial zone is intended for uses such as fabricating, assembly, research and development, electronics assembly, warehousing and other such similar uses which do not involve the manufacturing of finished product from raw materials. Installation and operation of solar panels for public and private use is conditionally permitted in the light manufacturing zone. All work, materials, and equipment storage is generally conducted indoors so that noise, dust, fumes, odors, smoke or gas will not be emitted beyond the confines of the building. Light industrial is also appropriate as a buffer between heavy industrial and nonindustrial uses and where the site is visible from residential areas or major streets. Special landscaping, enclosures, screening and other site development standards are applicable in the light industrial zone.
