[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
This Industrial District is hereby established to provide areas in which the principal use of land is for manufacturing, assembling, fabrication, and for warehousing. These uses do not depend primarily on frequent personal visits of customers or clients, but usually require good accessibility to major rail, air, or highway transportation routes and terminals. Such uses have some adverse effects on surrounding properties and are not properly associated with nor compatible with residential, institutional and retail commercial uses.
§ 27-1502 Permitted Uses.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
1.
The manufacturing, compounding, assembling, or treatment of articles or merchandise from the following previously prepared materials: bone, cellophane, canvas, cloth, cork, feathers, felt, film, fur, glass, hair, leather, paper, plastics, precious or semi-precious metals or stones, shell, textiles, tobacco, wood, yarns, and paint not employing a boiling process.
2.
The manufacturing, compounding, processing, or treatment of such products as bakery goods, candy, cosmetics, dairy products, drugs, pharmaceuticals, and food products except fish and meat products, sauerkraut, vinegar, yeast, and the rendering or refining of fats and oils, pottery and figurines or other similar ceramic products, using only clay and kilns fired only by electricity or gas.
§ 27-1503 Prohibited Uses.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
Dwelling units including mobile home parks and apartments, and motels, schools, churches, and retail commercial uses unless it serves or is auxiliary to the needs of the industrial plants or employees thereof, and any use not conforming to the performance standards set forth in this Chapter.

Front Yard. All buildings shall set back from road right-of-way line a minimum of 25 feet.
2.
Side Yards. On corner lots where a I-1 property abuts roads, all buildings must be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the right-of-way line. Where any I-1 District abuts a Residential District, a minimum side yard of 75 feet in depth is required. In all other cases, no side yards are required.
3.
Rear Yards. Where a building is to be serviced from the side or rear, there shall be provided an alleyway, service court, rear yard, or combination thereof of not less than 30 feet in depth. The depth of a rear yard which abuts a Residential District shall be a minimum of 75 feet. In all other cases no rear yard shall be required. In cases where a building is to be served from a railroad siding, no rear yard shall be required either.
§ 27-1505 Points of Ingress and Egress.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
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.
