All industrial uses must continually comply with the Environmental Regulations specified in TDC Chapter 63.

(1)

Purpose. Land uses are classified into use categories based on common functional, product or physical characteristics, including the type and intensity of activity typical of impact, type(s) of customers or residents, typical off-site impacts, and building type.
