SECTION 1500 - STATEMENT OF INTENT.

The industrial residential district is designed as a transition district from the existing single family residential land uses found along North Avenue essentially between 26 Mile Road and 27 Mile Road. These properties have traditionally been designated as an area of the Township where large commercial trucks can be located on residential properties due to the availability of Class A roads (North Avenue and 26 Mile Road). The Township's 2010 Master Plan furthers this idea and develops the corridor as a more true future industrial area. The IR District is designed to implement the ideas and concepts of the 2010 Master Plan by allowing existing residences to be maintained or a single new residence to be constructed while also allowing less intense industrial uses as a permitted use. Those industrial uses which would have additional impacts due to their outdoor nature or potential for noise generation can be considered as a special land use.
