(a) The I-1 Light Industrial District is designed to primarily accommodate industrial operations conducted wholly within a building, the physical effects of which operation are restricted to the District and in no manner affect, in a detrimental way, any of the surrounding districts.
(Ord. 260-A-314. Passed 8-10-98.)
(b) It is the intent of the Township of Clinton to carefully preserve land in the I-1 Light Industrial District for manufacturing and related uses.

Such outdoor storage shall not occupy an area greater than 50% of the floor area of the principal use, or 5,000 square feet, whichever is less. (Ord. 260-A-163. Passed 6-6-88.)

The Township Board, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, may waive this requirement if such marginal access road is impractical to construct or would serve no useful purpose. In granting such waiver, the Township Board may require easements to provide for vehicular access to existing or proposed adjacent parking lots in order to minimize the need for driveways to each facility and thereby decreasing hazards to vehicle traffic. In such instances, a reciprocal use agreement shall be signed by each owner in a form satisfactory to the Township Attorney and shall be recorded with the Macomb County Register of Deeds.
(e) Curb cuts for vehicular access to and from a marginal access road to and from the abutting major thoroughfare shall be no closer than 300 feet to each other.
