The purpose of this zoning district is to provide for the development of light industrial uses such as service or wholesale establishments, manufacturing establishments, distribution, research and development, and storage. Limited retail sales and services related to the industrial uses may also be permitted as accessory uses. Performance standards minimize the potential for significant by-products or hazardous uses. It is preferable to have a transition area between the I-1 District and residential areas. I-1 Districts can be served by local street system designated for trucks, although, the street system should exit to an arterial or truck route. Traffic from the industrial area through residential areas is discouraged.
