The "D" commercial and light industrial district is designed to provide for industrial uses having a minimum impact upon the surrounding environment in areas that are suitable for industrial development by reason of location and the availability of adequate utilities and roadways.

It is anticipated that industrial development in a "D" district will be in an industrial park-like atmosphere and that the industries will operate in a clean and quiet manner.
