A.   The LI Light Industrial Zone has been established for the purpose of providing a place where firms engaged in light manufacturing, processing, warehousing and fabrication of goods and materials can locate with minimum conflict or deleterious effect on surrounding properties and uses and with a high degree of protection from encroachment of residential and commercial uses. It is also intended in this zone to promote the economic well being of the people and broaden the tax base.

   B.   The zone is characterized by a mixture of industrial establishments, with ready access to major transportation routes and served by adequate streets, power, water and other utilities and facilities. Some of the territory designated will consist of open land intended for future industrial development. Accordingly, some of the territory will be used for agriculture or other open land uses until its industrial potential is realized.

   C.   Representative of the uses with the zone are structures utilized for light manufacturing, fabrication, processing, storage, warehousing and wholesale distribution under conditions which limit the generation of noise, vibration, smoke, odor, dust, fumes or hazards from explosion. Residential and retail commercial developments and other activities, which would be inconsistent with the use of the land for industrial purposes, are not permitted in the zone.
