Within an Industrial Park District, buildings and land shall be used, and buildings shall be erected, altered, moved, maintained or reconstructed in accordance with the following area, yard and height regulations:
(a) No building shall be erected, altered, moved, maintained or reconstructed on a lot containing less than three acres, or on a lot having a width at the building line of less than 150 feet.
(b) No building shall be erected, altered, moved, maintained or reconstructed nearer than seventy-five feet to the front lot line. Except for necessary drives and walks, a front yard shall be planted in grass or other suitable ground cover, including flowers, ornamental shrubs and trees.
(c) All buildings erected, altered, moved, maintained or constructed, shall have a total side yard requirement of fifty feet with a minimum of fifteen feet set back from the lot line. Each side yard shall comply with the planting requirements of a front yard. On a corner lot, the side yard adjacent to a street shall be subject to all regulations governing a front yard.
(d) No building shall be erected, altered, moved, maintained or reconstructed nearer than fifty feet to the rear lot line.
(e) When a side or rear yard of a lot used for industrial purposes adjoins a residential district, such side or rear yard shall be at least 100 feet in width or depth, and the strip of land nearest the lot line of such side or rear yard shall be planted to a width of twenty feet with trees and shrubs in such a manner as reasonably to screen the industrial lot and buildings from the residential district. With the exception of the twenty foot area, the side or rear yard may be used for parking motor vehicles.
(f) Parking and loading areas may be placed in a side or rear yard, except that on a corner lot they shall not be placed in the side yard adjacent to a street, provided such areas are not nearer than twenty-five feet to a side or rear lot line and not nearer than 100 feet to such lot line if such side or rear yard adjoins a residential district, and provided further that sufficient screening by shrubbery, trees or other means is provided so that no vehicle can be seen from any street. No loading docks are allowed in front of a building.
(g) Not more than thirty-five percent of a lot may be covered by buildings.
(h) Buildings constructed, erected, altered, moved or maintained in this District shall be limited to two stories and thirty-five feet from the front land grade.
(i) Chimneys, flagpoles, towers, water tanks, stacks, vents and other mechanical appurtenances to a building for industrial purposes shall be constructed as an integral part of such building, and may exceed the maximum allowable building height, but in no case shall exceed 100 feet in height above the established grade. Such appurtenances shall be so designed and arranged as to minimize their visibility from the lot lines, and especially from the front lot line. In hardship cases, the foregoing building appurtenances may be constructed outside of the limits of the major building providing application is made to the Planning Commission and the Commission specifically approves the removed appurtenances.
