(A)   It is the purpose of this section to establish and preserve areas for industrial and related uses of a nature so that they do not create serious problems of compatibility with other kinds of land uses. This district is intended to make provisions for medium to heavy industrial uses and for certain kinds of business uses which are most appropriately located as neighbors of industrial uses or which are necessary to service the immediate needs of the businesses in these areas.

   (B)   All new commercial and industrial development must have pubic water and sanitary sewer available and be connected to the services.
