The IZD is established for the purpose of confining the heavy traffic, light, glare, dust, odor, noise, and fire hazards often associated with industrial land uses to a limited area where future planning can provide for the heavy duty streets, extra fire protection, and utilities capacity necessary to support industry. The industrial zoning district excludes residential and light commercial uses in order to foster an environment where industry may operate without the undue risk of nuisance or liability suits.

(Ord. No. 621, Enacted, 3/7/83)

Conditional uses in the IZD shall be all industrial uses and public uses compatible with an industrial location.

(Ord. No. 621, Enacted, 3/7/83)

Any industrial use shall not contribute toxic substances, heavy metals, or other unusual waste loads to the town's sewerage system.

Industrial developments should provide adequate, landscaped buffer areas for MRZD, RZD, CBZD, and HBZD public facilities such as parks and public streets. The extent of buffer areas should be related to structural dimensions of the industrial and the hazards presented by light, glare, noise, and the handling of flammable, combustible, toxic, or explosive materials. As a general guide, buffer areas should amount to approximately forty percent of the area covered by structures, roadways, and materials handling and storage yards. Customer parking and advertising signs may be located in the buffer area.
