The M-4 Industrial and Business Park District is created as an area to be devoted exclusively to industrial and business activity. Residences or any structures intended for living purposes are prohibited in this district. The intent and purposes of the City in creating this district are as follows:
(a) To encourage the establishment of industries and business which are compatible with one another;
(b) To establish standards for the height and size of buildings, the areas and dimensions of yards and open spaces;
(c) To provide development and operational standards for yards, structures and equipment that shall minimize traffic congestion, noise, glare, air pollution, water pollution, fire and safety hazards and ensure adequate drainage;
(d) To provide standards for off-street vehicle storage and loading facilities adequate in area, design, arrangement and development to properly serve the uses for which such facilities are intended and sufficient to preclude the need for on-street parking or storage of vehicles;
(e) To provide standards for the location and illumination of signs and advertising devices so as to minimize glare and distraction to motorists and neighboring residential districts;
(f) To prohibit residential uses, except as such uses are purely incidental to the industrial and business uses they are intended to serve;
(g) To prohibit industrial or business uses which, because of potential emanation of dust, ash, smoke, noise, fumes, gas, odors or vibrations are or may be inconsistent with the intent and purposes of this section; and
(h) To establish standards for environmental development, including landscaping and requirement of open areas that shall tend to result in healthful and productive working conditions.
