   (B)   Crematorium. A place used and dedicated to the cremation of human remains or pet animal remains.
   (C)   Gas And Fuel. Wholesale. The use of land for bulk storage and wholesale distribution of 2,500 gallons or more of flammable liquid, or 2,000 gallons water capacity or more of flammable gas, excluding below-ground storage which is clearly accessory to the principal use on the site.
   (D)   Laboratory, Research. An establishment engaged in industrial, scientific or medical research, biomanufacturing, testing, and analysis, including support services and structures. Typical uses include natural science/manufacturing research facilities and product testing/quality control facilities.
      (1)   Outdoor manufacturing, processing or testing shall be limited to industrial districts only.
   (E)   Manufacturing, Light. A facility conducting medium and light manufacturing operations, primarily involving the creation of finished products or parts from previously prepared materials and the manufacturing of products and materials from extracted raw materials. The processing, fabrication, assembly, treatment, packaging, and storage of such products is also included. All activities shall occur within a fully enclosed building no manufacturing involved shall produce noise, vibration, air pollution, fire hazard, or noxious emission which may disturb or endanger neighboring properties.
      (1)   All manufacturing activity shall be conducted entirely within a fully-enclosed building.
      (2)   Overnight outdoor storage and display shall be considered an accessory use and permitted only as set forth in the Use Regulations Table (Table 2-1 § 155.202).
      (3)   Uses shall not emit smoke, odor, objectionable waste materials or excessive noise.

Research and development shall include: offices, and other facilities used for research and development by or for any individual, organization, or concern, whether public or private; prototype production facilities that manufacture a limited amount of a product in order to fully investigate the merits of such a product; pilot plants used to test manufacturing processes planned for use in production elsewhere; production facilities and operations with a high degree of scientific input; facilities and operations in which the input of science, technology, research, and other forms of concepts or ideas constitute a major element of the value added by manufacture per unit of product.
   (H)   Warehouse and Freight Movement. A facility involved in the storage or movement of goods for themselves or other firms. Goods are delivered to other firms or the final consumer with little on-site sales activity to customers.
