Industrial Park District (IP) and Exclusive Industrial District (IE). The purpose of these districts is to reserve for industrial development areas which have predominantly been developed industrially, so that modern industrial development will not be impaired by the presence of nonindustrial uses. The district regulations provide for minimum lot area requirements in order to preserve the generally large tracts, which are typically found in these districts and which are considered essential for modern industrial development. Higher standards apply for the Industrial Park District because this district is largely adjacent to existing residential areas. (2) General Industrial District (IG) and Restricted Industrial District (IR). These districts recognize development patterns prevailing in several sections of the Town's older industrial areas. Mixed residential, commercial and industrial land uses are characteristic for these areas, as well as the relatively small size of a majority of the properties. The purpose of these districts is to provide for the continued coexistence of the residential, commercial and industrial uses while continuing to emphasize that these districts are primarily commercial and industrial in nature. The residential and commercial uses are considered essential to support and serve the industrial uses in these districts as well as in the Industrial Park and Exclusive Industrial Districts, where no residential or commercial uses are permitted. To further these objectives, residential uses are permitted only as a component in development projects which contain a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. Higher standards apply to the Restricted Industrial District for the purpose of protecting the numerous dwellings found in this district. D. Other districts. (1)
