CHAPTER 7

INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS

4-7-1: PURPOSE:

The industrial district regulations are intended to govern the location, intensity, and method of development of the industrial areas of the Village. The regulations are designed to provide for the grouping together of industries that are compatible to one another and that are not objectionable to the community as a whole. The regulations preserve lands for industrial and allied uses and prohibit the intrusion of residential and other noncompatible uses into the industrial area. The performance of the industrial uses is regulated by establishing standards for the external effects of noise, smoke, vibration and other potential nuisances. All industrial uses are contained in the following three (3) industrial districts:
   I-1 Office, Research And Light Industrial District
   I-2 Light Industrial District
   I-3 Heavy Industrial District
