This Industrial District is hereby established to provide areas in which the principal use of land is for "heavy" commercial activities, light manufacturing and assembly plants, processing, storage, warehousing, wholesaling and distribution. It is the intent that permitted uses are conducted so that noise, odor, dust, and glare of each operation is completely confined within an enclosed building. These industries may require direct access to rail, air, or street transportation routes; however, the size and volume of the raw materials and finished products involved should not produce the volume of freight generated by the uses of the General and Heavy Industrial Districts. Regulations herein are intended to prevent frictions between uses within the district and also to protect nearby Residential Districts.

Dwelling units, schools, churches, yards for scrap and salvage operations, auto junkyards, second-hand automobile parts, all uses or structures not of a nature specifically permitted herein, and any use not conforming to the performance standards outlined in this Chapter.

Where properties front commonwealth and major local roads or streets so designated by the county planning director or local Planning Commission in the temporary absence of a county director, no driveway ingress and egress points shall be closer than 50 feet measured from driveway edge to driveway edge, except where a particular lot or unified contiguous commercial development frontage exists, in which case only one entrance and one exit are allowable per street side per lot of unified development. There shall be a maximum width of 25 feet per driveway entrance and all ingress and egress points shall be located 30 feet from any intersection right-of-way line. The distance along the road frontage between points of ingress or egress shall contain a traffic barrier consisting of guard railing, concrete or asphaltic curbs, guard fencing, solid hedges, or a similar material to prohibit ingress and egress by vehicles at points other than those designated. The traffic barriers shall be placed by the property owner fronting said road. Where the Planning Commission deems it necessary, a service road shall be provided by the property owner(s) to further limit ingress and egress points. All points of ingress and egress must be clearly defined. This section is hereby retroactive and enforceable on existing properties in this District.

All yard areas and open space existing around buildings shall be landscaped and maintained in a neat condition.
