Industrial Zone (I). A. Purpose. The purpose of the Industrial Zone (I) is to create an area where research facilities, warehousing, light manufacturing, professional offices and other light industrial uses can be located with access to the interstate and state highway system, sewer and water. This zone is intended to allow those activities which require truck traffic, materials processing, good employee access and a certain degree of flexibility in site and building design to follow the function being served, while still imposing a high standard of architectural and site design to avoid the blight of traditional industrial districts that produce noise, dust, fumes or other offensive activities that adversely affect other properties both within the Industrial Zone and outside of it. This zone is also intended to allow office uses for businesses that provide services to other businesses or to a specialized clientele, and not the general public. The Business Zones, not the Industrial Zone, are intended for those businesses that provide products and services to the general public. Control of signs, outdoor storage, refuse and truck parking; abundant landscaping; compatible uses; and limitation of curb cuts are essential. B. Permitted uses and use categories.
