The regulations set forth in this article shall apply in the Limited Industrial District. The M-L District is designed to provide an environment for the aggregation of compatible, non-nuisance type industrial uses where activities are conducted and confined within a building or structure. The M-L District is intended to establish areas where industrial activities, laboratories, and clean, quiet operations can function within the context of an industrial park concept. The M-L District is designed to protect such industrial areas from intrusions of incompatible and nonindustrial uses and provide for safety and health considerations by appropriate fire access, circulation, traffic flow, and other standards. Additionally, an aesthetically-pleasing environment shall be encouraged. Manufacturing uses involving the primary production of commodities from raw materials shall be expressly prohibited in the M-L District.
