   (b)   To provide space for manufacturing activities in locations accessible to railways, waterways and highways, so that the movement of raw materials, finished products and employees can be carried on efficiently and with a minimum of danger to public life and property;

   (c)   To establish proper standards of performance which will restrict obnoxious manufacturing activities, while at the same time encourage and permit the manufacturing activities which have adopted facilities for the processing of finished products without adversely affecting the health, happiness, safety, convenience and welfare of the people living and working in nearby areas;

   (d)   To protect manufacturing districts from incompatible uses of land by prohibiting the use of such space for new residential development, thereby preserving the land for a more appropriate use in accordance with the plans for Village improvement and development;

   (e)   To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance with a well considered plan of land use for all of the Village, to conserve the use of property, to promote stability of manufacturing activities and related development, to protect the character and established development in each area of the community, to enhance and stabilize the value of land and to protect the tax base of the Village.
