There is hereby established an I Industrial District within the Village. The regulations of the Industrial District are intended to govern the location, types, scope and method of operations for industrial and allied establishments within the framework of the goals of the Village. The regulations are designed to preserve those lands designed in the Comprehensive Plan for industrial and allied developments by preventing intrusions of structures and uses that do not complement or are not compatible with the use of such lands for desired industrial developments. In addition, uses hereafter established in the Industrial District are regulated in accordance with their compliance with performance standards governing methods of operation. Thus, the regulations are intended to provide specific controls for governing acceptable levels of emission of noise, smoke and particulate matter, odors and other potential nuisances, and for providing adequate landscaped yards and other open areas in order to maintain the desired environment within the Industrial District as well as the surrounding community.
(Ord. 583. Passed 4-19-83.)

The I Industrial District is designed to provide a broad range of industrial activities, as well as office, research and development and personal service activities. While it is expected that manufacturing uses may be dominant, the regulations contained herein are intended to minimize any adverse impact such uses may have upon other activities within the District.

TABLE 3

Values of K to be Used in Vibration Formula

Location     K 

 Any point across the District boundary

   Continuous     0.008

   Impulsive     0.015
