This district has been established to accommodate industrial uses which operate in a clean and quiet manner and generate only light to moderate amounts of traffic. This district is not intended for the use of industries which deal with significant amounts of hazardous substances or emit noise, glare, dust, odor, smoke, or possess other offensive characteristics detrimental to surrounding land uses. The intent is to also create clean, light industrial areas for the grouping of uses which primarily operate indoors and will have a minimum impact on the environment. Land to be placed in this district is intended to have reasonably level topography, public utilities, and major transportation facilities readily available.
