The industrial districts set forth herein are established to protect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare and to protect the economic base of the village as well as the value of land by regulating manufacturing development in appropriate locations. These general objectives include, among others, the following specific objectives:

   A.   To protect established residential areas and the health of families living therein by restricting those nearby manufacturing activities which may create offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare, fire hazards, excessive traffic, and other objectionable influences to those areas which are appropriate therefor.

   B.   To provide adequate space in appropriate locations for most types of manufacturing and related activities so that the economic structure of the community may be found in the interest of public prosperity and welfare.

   C.   To provide more space for manufacturing activities in locations accessible to transportation 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.

   D.   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.

   E.   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 plans for village improvement and development.

   F.   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 in each area of the community; to enhance and stabilize the value of land; and to protect the tax base of the village. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

   A.   Noise: The creation of noise at levels sufficient to create a general nuisance to occupants of the same or adjoining districts shall be prohibited.

   B.   Smoke And Particulate Matter: The emission of smoke or dusts in an amount sufficient to create a general nuisance to occupants of adjoining properties or to the occupants in the general area wherein the use is located shall be prohibited.

   C.   Odors: No offensive odors shall be emitted by any use permitted in this district in such quantities as to be readily detectable by the average observer at any point on the boundary line of the nearest residential or business district.

   D.   Noxious Gases: Processes and operations of permitted uses capable of dispersing gases or toxic particulates into the atmosphere must be hooded or otherwise suitably enclosed. The emission of such toxic gases or particulate matters shall be from a stack not less than twenty five feet (25') in height.

   E.   Glare And Heat: Operations producing intense light or heat, when adjacent to a residential or business district, shall be performed within an enclosed building and not be visible beyond the boundary separating the subject premises from any adjoining residential or business district.

   F.   Vibrations: There shall be no uses which create heavy, earth shaking vibrations which are noticeable at any residential or business district other than necessary and temporary construction operations. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

The intent of establishing a general industrial district is to delimit areas in which necessary industrial activities may function in such a manner as to be unobtrusive to adjacent nonindustrial uses and in which industrial activities will be able to have the adequate space, transportation, and storage facilities that they require. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

The following uses are permitted within the general industrial area:

All fabricating, manufacturing, processing, or storage of goods and products; provided, that no activities involving the storage, utilization, or manufacture of materials, goods, or products which could decompose by detonation shall be permitted except such that are specifically approved by the village board.

Wholesaling and terminal activities.

Accessory uses incidental to the foregoing principal uses.

Signs, limited to not more than two (2) per establishment, other than incidental signs necessary for the safe and efficient use of the premises. Off premises signs shall conform to the regulations as set forth in section 8-11A-2 of this title. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

   A.   Building Height: No building shall be constructed, erected, altered or added to so as to exceed a height of three (3) stories or thirty six feet (36'). Parapet walls, chimneys, cooling towers, elevator bulkheads, stacks, and necessary mechanical appurtenances may be erected over and above the maximum height, provided they are constructed in accordance with all other pertinent village ordinances.

   B.   Setback Requirements: Yards, where there shall be no structure of any kind, no open storage of materials or equipment, and no parking other than for automobiles, shall be provided as follows:

      1.   Front Yard: There shall be a front yard not less than thirty feet (30') in depth.

      3.   Rear Yard: There shall be a rear yard of not less than fifteen feet (15') at the rear of any building. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

The intent of establishing an industrial park district is to delimit areas in which necessary industrial activities of a light nature and certain commercial activities that require excessive exterior space for storage or equipment parking may be located and/or operated. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

An industrial park shall be considered as a planned unit development, and the following uses shall be permitted therein:

All uses permitted within the general industrial district are permitted in the industrial park district subject to the conditions enumerated under section 8-12-2 of this chapter, and subject to the following additional conditions:

   A.   Uses that require the harboring of live animals other than in enclosed buildings are prohibited.

   B.   This title shall not preclude the establishment of additional requirements or conditions by the developers of an industrial park that are more stringent than those contained herein.

   C.   In addition to the sign regulations in section 8-12A-2 of this chapter, the industrial park may be identified by not more than one sign at each entry thereto.

In addition to the above permitted uses, the following special uses may be permitted by the village board in accordance with chapter 3, article B of this title:

Residential uses limited to facilities for caretakers, watchmen or on call service personnel.

Retail uses intended to serve only the employees of the industrial park such as a restaurant or coffee shop.

Retail uses that require extensive outdoor storage facilities such as an automobile or farm implement dealership.

Accessory uses incidental to the foregoing principal uses. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)

   A.   All building bulk and site planning requirements within the industrial park district shall be the same as for the general industrial district. This does not preclude the establishment of more stringent standards by the developers or managers of the industrial park.

   B.   The procedure for establishing special building bulk and site planning requirements is as set forth in section 8-3B-6 of this title regarding planned unit developments. (Amended Ord., 2-15-1993, eff. 2-26-1993)
