The primary purpose of the industrial districts is that they be located to serve industrial concerns efficiently and to minimize any negative impact on less intense uses such as some commercial and all residential uses. This purpose includes protecting lands with suitable characteristics and infrastructure for industrial development from residential encroachment. For this purpose, industrial uses are allowed greater density. For industrial districts, more than one (1) principal use may be allowed in a single building without zoning board of appeals approval if the uses are permitted by right in the districts. In addition, to satisfy the purpose residential uses are prohibited in industrial districts. This does not apply to farm dwellings.
