[Ord. 1996-1, 1/23/1996, § 900; as amended by Ord. 2005-12, 12/13/2005, § 1, Part 15]
The HI-Heavy Industrial District is hereby established as a district in which the regulations are intended to permit and encourage appropriate sites to be used for industry and similar uses. Such district is further intended to encourage the harmonious and appropriate physical development of the Township by providing for graduate transitions between adjacent land uses and to consolidate locations of industrially-related land uses which, because of their shipping, storage and other requirements, exert special demands on the Township. Further, the district is intended to contribute to the soundness of the economic base of the Township by encouraging the construction on and continued use of land for industrial purposes. The establishment of this district is also intended to discourage and minimize air and water pollution, noise, glare, heat, vibration, fire and safety hazards and other detriments to the environment and is the only area of the Township where large tracts are easily accessible to public water and sewer. Further, this district is intended to create conditions conducive to carrying out these and the general purposes of this chapter.
