The intent of this article is to permit certain industries which are of a light manufacturing character to locate in planned industrial parks. So that such uses may be integrated with other land uses, limitations are placed upon the degree of noise, smoke, glare, waste, and other features of industrial operations. It is further intended that these light industrial uses act as a transition between heavier industrial uses and non-industrial uses. Light industries do not necessarily require railroad access.
