CHAPTER 62

MANUFACTURING PARK ZONE MP

TDC 62.100.- Purpose.

The purpose of this district is to provide an environment exclusively for and conducive to the development and protection of modern, large-scale specialized manufacturing and related uses and research facilities. Such permitted uses must not cause objectionable noise, smoke, odor, dust, noxious gases, vibration, glare, heat, fire hazard or other wastes emanating from the property. The district is to provide for an aesthetically attractive working environment with park or campus like grounds, attractive buildings and other amenities appropriate to an employee oriented activity. The purpose is also to protect existing and future sites for such uses by maintaining large lot configurations or a cohesive planned development design and limiting uses to those that are of a nature so as to not conflict with other industrial uses or surrounding residential areas. The purpose is also to allow a limited amount of commercial uses and services and other support uses.
