Except as otherwise provided in this article, all uses shall be conducted wholly within a completely enclosed building.

Outdoor storage is permitted which is clearly accessory to the permitted principal use, limited in scale, incidental to the primary indoor use(s) on the site, and completely screened in accordance with § 515-91.

No truck well, loading dock or door shall be permitted on or in the wall of the building which faces an abutting residential district, and only pedestrian exits or emergency doors shall be allowed on such wall. All loading/unloading docks and truck wells shall be placed on or in the wall of the building that is opposite the boundary of the residential district or on the wall that lies approximately at a 90° angle to the residential district boundary. If such door, truck well and/or dock faces the front street, then such dock, truck well or door shall be recessed by not less than 60 feet from the front wall of the building in order to provide that a truck tractor and trailer shall not, when in place for loading or unloading at the dock or well, project past the front wall of the building. Also, the site plan and driveways shall be designed in such a manner to discourage truck access to that portion of the lot or site that is adjacent to a residential district.

For all uses permitted in the LI District there shall be a finding by the Planning Commission that:

All uses in this district require site plan review and approval. Site plans shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of § 515-100 of this chapter and shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of a building permit.
