15.6-2 A-AGRICULTURE DISTRICT

  1. Intent. The intent of the A-Agriculture District is to govern the use of land, buildings, and structures within areas of the Town where soil, topographic, and other conditions are best suited for the pursuit of agriculture or where essential community facilities or utilities do not yet or are not reasonably expected to serve the property. These regulations are further intended to provide for the protection and conservation of natural resources; to prevent or minimize conflicts between agriculture and non-agricultural land uses; to act as a holding zone for annexed land prior to timely development; and to facilitate orderly and efficient urban development by preventing a scattered and indiscriminate pattern of urban growth.
  2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the A-Agriculture zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration:
    1. The suitability of the property for agricultural uses.
    2. The extent to which the property and adjoining properties exhibit indicators of urbanization, such as land subdivision, change in land use, or substantial increases in property values.
    3. The impact of agricultural use upon the property and upon adjacent properties.
    4. Potential public benefit derived from preservation of natural resources on or under the property.
    5. The extent to which the property can be effectively served by existing or proposed public facilities and utilities.
  3. Permitted and Special Uses
    1. In the A-Agriculture District, no buildings or land shall be used except for one or more of the specified uses in Table 15.6-2(C) below, unless otherwise provided in this Code.

                    15.6-8 R-3B HIGH DENSITY MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT

                    1. Intent. The intent of this R-3B Residential District is to allow for areas of highly concentrated multiple-family residential development. This district provides for more intense land usage in areas where lower-density development is deemed neither appropriate nor economical. It is further intended for this district to provide apartment type dwellings in mid-rise structures for those persons desiring to live in such an environment. Allowing densities of up to 72 dwelling units per acre, this district may be applied to areas best suited for such intense residential usage, principally on the fringes of the central business district and Illinois State University. It may also be applied to other areas in the Town where comparable physical arrangements of land uses are present.
                    2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the R-3B Residence zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
                      1. The availability of permanent open spaces, including public parks, golf courses, schools, and similar such uses in proximity to the subject property.
                      2. The relationship of the subject property to the various aspects of the Town's transportation system including pedestrian ways, bicycle paths, major and collector streets, and public transit.
                      3. The distance the subject property is from primary service facilities and activity centers, including schools, commercial centers, cultural nodes and places of employment.
                      4. The adequacy of public services including schools, police and fire protection, and solid waste collection, serving the property and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
                      5. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                      6. The potential impact existing or permitted uses in the vicinity would have upon this residential use and the impact uses permitted in this district would have upon such surrounding uses.
                      7. The extent to which the permitted uses will promote balanced growth in the community and will be consistent with the Town's goals for equal housing opportunity and a variety of housing types.
                      8. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                      9. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.

                          15.6-10 SPECIAL PUBLIC INTEREST DISTRICTS

                          1. Intent. It is the intent of these regulations to permit the creation of Special Public Interest (S) Districts:
                            1. In general areas officially designated as having special and substantial public interest in protection of existing or proposed character, or of principal views of, from, or through such areas;
                            2. Surrounding individual buildings or grounds where there is special and substantial public interest in protecting such buildings and their visual environment; or
                            3. In other cases where special and substantial public interest requires modification of existing zoning regulations or repeal and replacement of such regulations for the accomplishment of special public purposes for which the district was established.
                            It is further intended that such Special Public Interest (S) Districts and the regulations established therein shall be in accord with and promote the purposes set forth in the Town's Comprehensive Plan and other officially adopted plans of the Town and shall encourage land use and development in substantial accord with the physical design set forth therein.
                          2. Effect of S District Designation. Such S districts designated by amendment of the Zoning Map supplant district or districts existing at the time of creation of a particular S district.
                          3. Preparation of Recommendations for Specific S Zoning. Recommendations for specific S district zoning classification shall be prepared by the Planning Commission on its own initiative or at the direction of the Council. Each recommendation shall identify the proposed zoning classification by the S prefix and a number identifying the particular district and shall contain information and recommendations as indicated below concerning the regulations proposed for such district classification:
                            1. Statement of Intent. The recommendation shall include a statement of intent, specifying the nature of the special and substantial public interest involved and the objectives to be promoted by special regulations and/or procedures, within the district as a whole, or within subareas of the district, if division into such subareas is reasonably necessary for achievement of regulatory purposes.
                            2. Proposed Regulations. The recommendation shall include regulations designed to promote the special purposes of the district, as set forth in the statement of intent. In particular, such regulations may require submission of detailed site plans, building plans and elevations, and maps indicating the relation of proposed development to surrounding or otherwise affected property in terms of location, amount, character, and continuity of open space; protection of desirable principal views; convenience of access through and between buildings or in other locations where appropriate for public purposes and where such access will reduce pedestrian congestion on public streets; separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic; signs; lighting; mixtures of proposed uses and other matters as appropriate to determinations related to special public interest of the district and the objectives to be promoted.
                              The regulations may require special approval of such plans by the Planning Commission, Town Council, or other officials or agencies of the Town.

                          15.6-11 S-1 UNIVERSITY DISTRICT

                          1. Intent. The intent of this S-1 University District is to allow for the establishment and expansion of Illinois State University. It shall be applied to property owned, or leased, and used by Illinois State University for its activities. While providing for flexibility in land usage, this district recognizes the multi-building, multi-acre, traffic-generating character of universities and the profound influence such a school may have upon surrounding neighborhoods and public facilities and utilities. This district is not to serve as a substitute for comprehensive, cooperative, campus-community planning but rather it is intended to foster better relations and mutual problem solving between the two.
                          2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the S-1 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
                            1. The relationship of the subject property to the various aspects of the Town's transportation system including pedestrian ways, bicycle paths, major and collector streets, parking facilities, and public transit and the probable impact the permitted uses will have upon this system.
                            2. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                            3. The potential impact existing or permitted uses in the vicinity would have upon this proposed university use and the impact uses authorized in the district would have upon the surrounding permitted or existing uses.
                            4. The extent to which the permitted uses will promote balanced growth in the community.
                            5. The impact uses authorized in the district would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                            6. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon uses authorized in the district.
                            7. The conformance of the proposal to the Town's Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
                          3. Permitted and Special Uses.
                            1. Permitted Uses. In the S-1 University District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-11(C) below unless otherwise provided in this Code.
                            2. Special Uses. No special uses are permitted in this district.
                            3. Table 15.6-11(C): Special Public Interest Districts Allowed Uses Table
                              Note: The district allows for the establishment and maintenance of public uses, publicly regulated uses, and private uses that display an inherent relationship to the public interest. The district provides for parcels of substantial size where such uses are necessary in order that adequate community services may be rendered and where, through site selection and planning, uses are compatible with the surrounding area.

                          15.6-12 S-2 PUBLIC LANDS AND INSTITUTIONS DISTRICT

                          1. Intent. The intent of this S-2 Public Lands and Institutions District is to allow for the establishment and maintenance of public uses, publicly regulated uses, and private uses that display an inherent relationship to the public interest. The creation of such a district shall be provided for parcels of substantial size where such community serving uses are necessary in order that adequate community services may be rendered and where, through proper site selection and planning, such uses are compatible with the surrounding area.
                          2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the S-2 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
                            1. The extent to which the uses authorized in the district are necessary for the proper provision of community services.
                            2. The potential impact existing or permitted uses in the vicinity would have upon the public uses and impact the permitted uses would have upon these surrounding uses.
                            3. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water, sewer, and transportation systems, to serve the uses authorized in the district.
                            4. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                            5. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                            6. The conformance of the proposal to the Town's Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
                          3. Permitted and Special Uses. 
                            1. Permitted Uses. In the S-2 Public Lands and Institutions District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-12(C) below unless otherwise provided in this Code.

                          15.6-13 S-3 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL DISTRICT

                          1. Intent. In addition to those general purposes set forth in division 15.2 of this Code, it is hereby declared a matter of public policy that the protection, enhancement, perpetuation, and use of improvements of special character or special historical interest or value is a public necessity and is required in the interest of the health, prosperity, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the Town. This S-3 Historic and Cultural District shall be applied as an overlay or a combined district. This technique retains the list of uses allowed in the present zoning classification that the S-3 District overlays. The purpose of the S-3 Historic and Cultural District is to:
                            1. Effect and accomplish the protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of such improvements and of such districts that represent or reflect elements of the Town’s cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history;
                            2. Safeguard the Town’s historic and cultural heritage, as embodied and reflected in such landmarks and historic districts;
                            3. Stabilize and improve property values;
                            4. Foster civic pride in the beauty and noble accomplishments of the past;
                            5. Protect and enhance the Town’s attractions to residents, home buyers, tourists, and visitors and shoppers, thereby supporting and promoting business, commerce and industry;
                            6. Strengthen the economy of the Town; and
                            7. Promote the use of historic districts and landmarks for education, pleasure, and welfare of the people of the Town.
                          2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines.
                            1. Any portion of the Town classified in a S-3 Historic and Cultural District shall also be classified in one or more of other districts established in division 15.6 of this Code. The official zoning map shall designate any land classified in a S-3 District by a combination of symbols, e.g. S-3/R-1A, S-3/R-1B, S-3/R-2, S-3/R-3A, S-3/R-3B, etc.
                            2. In a S-3 Historic and Cultural District, all the regulations of the underlying Agriculture District, Residential District, Special Public Interest District, Business/Commercial District or Manufacturing District established by division 15.6 of this Code shall apply, except insofar as such regulations are in conflict with the special regulations applicable to the S-3 Historic and Cultural District, and in the event of such a conflict, the regulations governing such S-3 District shall apply. All permitted uses or special uses otherwise allowable in the underlying Agriculture District, Residence District, Special Public Interest District, Business District or Manufacturing District shall continue to be allowable uses except as provided in division 15.16 of this Code.
                          3. Bulk Regulations. The following bulk regulations shall apply to all permitted uses.
                            1. Lot Regulations. To the extent that existing patterns of platting or lotting contribute to the character of the S-3 Historic and Cultural District, it is the intent of this section to encourage continuations of such patterns and prevent future fragmentation of land ownership likely to have adverse effects on such character. Therefore, lots or portions of lots existing at the time such lots or portions thereof are classified into the S-3 Historic and Cultural District may be combined but, subject to the general provisions cited in sec. 15.4-3 of this Code, it shall be unlawful for any such existing lot or combinations of lots of portions thereof in single ownership at the time of such zoning to the S-3 District to be reduced in width, depth, or area without the approval by the Preservation Commission of either a Certificate of Appropriateness in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code or Certificate of Economic Hardship in accordance with division 15.16 of this code.
                            2. Yard Regulations. Subject to the general provisions cited in sec. 15.4-3 of this Code, it shall be unlawful for front yards, side yards, rear yards, or portions thereof existing at the time that such yards are classified into the S-3 Historic and Cultural District to be reduced in width, depth, or area without the approval by the Preservation Commission of a Certificate of Appropriateness in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code.
                            3. Height Regulations.
                              1. Existing Buildings or Structures. Subject to the general provisions cited in sec. 15.4-3 of this Code, it shall be unlawful for the height of buildings or structures or portions thereof existing at the time that such buildings or structures or portions thereof are classified into the S-3 Historic and Cultural District to be altered without the approval by the Preservation Commission of either a Certificate of appropriateness in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code or a Certificate of Economic Hardship in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code.
                              2. New Buildings or Structures. Subject to the general provisions cited in sec. 15.4-3 of this Code, it shall be unlawful for any building or structure to be constructed or erected in the S-3 Historic and Cultural District to any height above grade without the approval by the Preservation Commission of either a Certificate of Appropriateness in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code or a Certificate of Economic Hardship in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code.
                          4. Site Plan Review. No building permit for any building or structure or for any exterior improvement or addition to any building or structure in the S-3 Historic and Cultural District shall be issued by the Zoning Code Administrator unless and until:
                            1. The construction plans and specifications for such building or structure or addition thereto have been reviewed by the Preservation Commission and until a Certificate of Appropriateness has been approved by the Preservation Commission as provided by division 15.16 of this Code, or
                            2. A Certificate of Economic Hardship has been approved by the Preservation Commission in accordance with division 15.16 of this Code.

                          Amended by Ord. 5994 on 10/21/2024

                          15.6-14 C-1 OFFICE DISTRICT

                          1. Intent. The intent of this C-1 Office District is to accommodate office buildings primarily. Related retail, service, institution and multiple family uses commonly associated with office use are allowed to a limited extent. This district may be applied as a transitional-use buffer between residential uses and uses which would be incompatible with residential districts. The prime characteristics of this district are the low intensity of land coverage and the absence of such nuisance factors as noise, air pollutant emission, and glare.
                          2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the C-1 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
                            1. The degree to which the permitted uses serve as a buffer between uses of lower and higher intensity that if adjacent could prove incompatible.
                            2. The potential impact existing or permitted uses in the vicinity would have upon the uses authorized in the district and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these uses.
                            3. The adequacy of public services, including police and fire protection, serving the property and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
                            4. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water, sewer, and transportation systems to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                            5. The extent to which the permitted uses will promote balanced growth and sound economic development in the community.
                            6. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                            7. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment; including noise, air, and water pollution.
                            8. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
                          3. Permitted and Special Uses. 
                            1. Special Uses. In the C-1 Office District, no building or land may be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-14(C) below unless provided in this Code.

                              HISTORY
                              Amended by Ord. 5994 on 10/21/2024

                              15.6-15 C-2 NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING DISTRICT

                              1. Intent. The intent of this C-2 Neighborhood Shopping District is to provide establishments, including retail stores and personal service facilities, which serve the frequently recurring needs of a surrounding residential neighborhood. While intended to provide for convenience shopping, certain business types that might tend to be a nuisance to surrounding residential development are excluded. To these ends, the C-2 regulations are designed to further protect adjacent property by: (1) applying specific size standards to permitted uses, and (2) establishing bulk and placement requirements that are comparable to residential district standards. Neighborhood shopping centers should be located at the intersection of two major streets or at the intersection of a major and a collector and designed to serve approximately one square mile of residential development; a neighborhood shopping center is ordinarily built around a supermarket as the principal tenant. The minimum area to be zoned C-2 (1.5 acres) is sufficient in size to prevent spot zoning and still meet the anticipated needs for convenience shopping. The maximum area to be zoned C-2 (7 acres) is intended to prevent the development of a shopping center that serves an area much larger than a neighborhood.
                              2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the C-2 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
                                1. A C-2 District at any one location shall not be less than 1.5 acres or more than 7 acres in size.
                                2. The relationship of the subject property to the various aspects of the Town’s transportation system, including major and collector streets, pedestrian ways, and bicycle paths and the impact the permitted uses would have upon this system.
                                3. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provides a transition from this more intense use to lower density residential development.
                                4. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                                5. The availability of other convenience shopping and service facilities in the anticipated service area and the extent to which the uses authorized in the district fulfill unmet needs for convenience shopping.
                                6. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the existing or permitted uses in the vicinity and the effect these uses would have upon the uses authorized in the district.
                                7. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                                8. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                                9. The conformance of the proposal to the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
                              3. Permitted and Special Uses. 
                                1. Permitted Uses. In the C-2 Neighborhood Shopping District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-15(C) below unless otherwise provided in this Code.
                                2. Special Use. The special uses listed in Table 15.6-15(C) below may be permitted subject to the conditions and standards stated in division 15.10 of this Code.

                              Amended by Ord. 5994 on 10/21/2024

                              15.6-16 C-3 COMMUNITY/REGIONAL SHOPPING DISTRICT

                              1. Intent. The intent of this C-3 Community/Regional Shopping District is to facilitate the development of community- and region-serving retail trade centers. The development contemplated in this district has such distinguishing characteristics as: (1) unified site planning and development which promotes a safe and conducive atmosphere for large volumes of shoppers, (2) site accessibility such that the high volumes of traffic generated create a minimal congestion and adverse impact upon surrounding land use, (3) unified architectural treatment of buildings rather than an assemblage of separate, conflicting store and structural types, and (4) a trade area that includes the entire community at a minimum and may include the entire county and surrounding areas outside the county. While recognizing the potential monetary benefits accruing from the development of a large shopping center within the Town and the flexibility necessary for such a development, these regulations are intended to ensure that a proper location be selected and site planning be performed to better accomplish the purposes of zoning.
                              2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the C-3 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and the Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
                                1. A C-3 District at any one location shall not be less than 10 acres in size.
                                2. The relationship of the subject property to the Town’s transportation system and the impact the permitted uses would have upon this system. The volumes of traffic generated by development in this district necessitates its location near or adjacent to the intersection of two major streets or a collector street and a major street.
                                3. The compatibility of uses authorized in the district with existing or permitted uses in the area and the impact the permitted uses would have upon such uses.
                                4. The extent of which surrounding zoning and land usage provides adequate transition from this intense use to uses of lesser intensity.
                                5. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                                6. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                                7. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                                8. The conformance of the proposal to the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
                              3. Permitted and Special Uses. 
                                1. Permitted Uses. In the C-3 Community/Regional Shopping District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-16(C) below unless otherwise provided in this Code.

                              Amended by Ord. 5994 on 10/21/2024

                              15.6-17 B-1 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT

                              1. Intent. The intent of this B-1 General Business District is to provide for certain types of commercial activities that have a functional relationship to the major street system, and in some instances, an economic relationship to the central business district or to commercial and regional shopping areas. Such activities will include retail, service, amusement establishments and wholesale suppliers. Customers in this district will generally use an automobile or a form of public transit to reach a desired establishment, although new development will be designed to facilitate visitors on bicycles and on foot as well. The automobile and truck traffic this district generates and the adverse effects from this traffic combine to make these business areas incompatible with residential development; this district should only be used along the fringe of a neighborhood and not within it. The avoidance of undue traffic congestion, the promotion of safe traffic flow, and the protection of surrounding properties from adverse impacts are major considerations in the application of the district.
                              2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the B-1 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration:
                                1. The relationship of the subject property to the Town’s transportation system and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these systems; traffic congestion and safety are of primary concern.
                                2. The potential impact the uses authorized in the district would have upon any existing or permitted uses in the surrounding area.
                                3. The extent to which the permitted uses contribute to an undesirable pattern of development that results in numerous curb cuts and piecemeal development on small lots.
                                4. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which lawfully occur on the property to zoned.
                                5. The adequacy of public service, including police and fire protection, serving the property and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
                                6. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                                7. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                                8. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
                              3. Permitted and Special Uses
                                1. Permitted. Uses. In the B-1 General Business District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-17(C) below unless otherwise provided in this Code:
                                  1. Special Use. The special uses listed in Table 15.6-17(C) below may be permitted subject to the conditions and standards stated in division 15.10 of this Code.

                                  Amended by Ord. 5994 on 10/21/2024

                                  15.6-18 B-2 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT

                                  1. Intent. The intent of this B-2 Central Business District is to provide for a variety of retail stores and shops, offices and services in the central business area of the Town. This area has historically served as a major retail marketing function of the community. In this district each establishment contributes to the whole shopping area by adding to the variety of goods available and to comparison shopping opportunities. This essential inter-dependence of activities is given precedence over any desire to require automobile parking spaces adjacent to each building although provisions are made for the cooperative development of off-street parking facilities by public and private interests.
                                  2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the B-2 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration:
                                    1. The relationship of the subject property to the Town’s transportation systems and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these systems. Potential conflicts between pedestrians and motorized traffic are of major concern.
                                    2. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provides adequate transition from this intense business use to uses of lesser intensity.
                                    3. The potential impact the uses authorized in the district would have upon any existing or permitted uses, especially residential, in the surrounding area.
                                    4. The extent to which the subject property is a logical extension of the central business area.
                                    5. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                                    6. The adequacy of public services including police and fire protection, serving the property and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
                                    7. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                                    8. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.

                                  15.6-19 M-1 RESTRICTED MANUFACTURING DISTRICT

                                  1. Intent. The intent of this M-1 Restricted Manufacturing District is to provide for industrial uses and land uses housed in light industrial types of buildings, all with an absence of objectionable external effects in areas that are suitable for this type of development by reason of topography, relative location, and adequate utility and transportation systems. Compatibility with surrounding districts is further assured by limiting development by reason of topography, relative location, and adequate utility and transportation systems. Compatibility with surrounding districts is further assured by limiting development to low industrial densities. Just as industrial uses are excluded from residential areas to promote public health, safety and welfare, so are residential developments excluded from this district.
                                  2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the M-1 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposed under consideration:
                                    1. The relationship of the subject property to various aspects of the transportation system, including rail, air, highway and street, and pedestrian, and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these systems. Truck traffic and its impact is of major concern generally, as well as the effect on vehicular travel times.
                                    2. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provide an adequate transition from these industrial uses to uses of lesser intensity and the degree to which the uses authorized in the district serve as a buffer between other districts which exhibit more objectionable effects and uses of lower intensity.
                                    3. The capacity of existing and proposed public utilities to the site, including water and sewer systems to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                                    4. The adequacy of public services, including police and fire protection, serving the property in question and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
                                    5. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment including noise, air, and water pollution.
                                    6. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                                    7. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and the Official Map.
                                  3. Permitted and Special Uses. 
                                    1. Permitted Uses. In the M-1 Restricted Manufacturing District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-19(C) below, unless otherwise provided in this Code.
                                      1. Special Uses. The special uses listed in Table 15.6-19(C) below may be permitted, subject to the conditions and standards stated in division 15.10 of this Code.
                                        1. Table 15.6-19(C): Manufacturing Districts Allowed Uses
                                          1. Notes.

                                      15.6-20 M-2 GENERAL MANUFACTURING

                                      1. Intent. The intent of this M-2 General Manufacturing District is to provide for the more intense types of industrial and manufacturing uses which generally exhibit higher levels of objectionable external effects. This district should not be located adjacent to residential districts, and its contiguity to commercial and business areas should, wherever possible, be avoided. Uses permitted in this district will provide for those basic industries needed to expand employment opportunities within the Town.
                                      2. Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the M-2 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration:
                                        1. The relationship of the subject property to various aspects of the transportation system, including rail, air, highway, and street, and pedestrian, and the impact the proposal would have upon these systems. Truck traffic and its impact is of major concern generally, as well as the effect on vehicular travel times.
                                        2. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provides an adequate transition from these industrial uses to uses of lesser intensity and the degree to which the uses authorized in the district serve as a buffer between other districts which exhibit more objectionable effects and uses of lower intensity.
                                        3. The capacity of existing and proposed public utilities to the site, including water and sewer systems to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
                                        4. The adequacy of public services, including police and fire protection, serving the property in question and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
                                        5. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
                                        6. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
                                        7. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and the Official Map.
                                      3. Permitted and Special Uses. 
                                        1. Permitted Uses. In the M-2 General Manufacturing District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the uses specified in Table 15.6-20(C) below, unless otherwise provided in this Code.
                                        2. Special Uses. The special uses listed in Table 15.6-20(C) below may be permitted subject to the conditions and standards stated in division 15.10 of this Code.
                                        3. Table 15.6-20(C): Manufacturing Districts Allowed Uses
                                          1. Notes.

                                      15.6-21 FORM BASED OVERLAY DISTRICT

                                      1. Intent. In addition to those general purposes set forth in division 15.2 of this Code, it is the purpose and design of the Form Based Overlay District to foster land development that sets careful and clear controls on building form, public spaces, streetscapes, building architecture, and the relationship of the building on the lot. This Form Based Overlay District shall be applied as an overlay or a combined district. This technique retains the list of uses allowed in the present zoning classification that the Form Based Overlay District overlays unless such uses are modified by the adopting ordinance. The purpose of the Form Based Overlay District is to:
                                        1. regulate how lots and buildings relate to public spaces and the surrounding neighborhood;
                                        2. govern building form and placement of the building in relation to the lot and street;
                                        3. stabilize and improve property values;
                                        4. require certain building elements to enhance public places;
