The primary purpose of the I-1 limited industrial district is to permit certain industries, which do not in any way detract from residential desirability, to locate on designated industrial sites. The limitations on (or provisions relating to) height of building, horsepower, heating, flammable liquids or explosives, controlling emission of fumes, odors and/or noise, landscaping and the number of persons employed are imposed to protect and foster adjacent residential desirability while permitting industries to locate near a labor supply.
