(A) Purpose. The purpose of the Light Industrial zoning district is intended to promote and protect light manufacturing, warehouses and research and development industries, to cluster the industries into attractive planned industrial parks, to minimize incompatibility of industrial uses with adjacent land uses and, provide sufficient space in appropriate locations to businesses and manufacturing firms free from offensive land uses in modern, landscaped buildings and surroundings.
(B) (1) Permitted uses. The uses permitted in the LI zone are generally those industrial, office, storage, laboratory and manufacturing uses which do not create any danger to health and safety in surrounding areas and which do not create any offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, heat or glare and which, by reason of high value in relation to size and weight of merchandise received and shipped, generate a minimum of truck traffic.
(2) Those uses permitted in the LI zoning district per the table in § 150.047(B).
(C) Conditional uses. Uses may be permitted subject to a conditional use permit (see § 150.015 and the table in § 150.047(B)).
(1) Those uses conditionally permitted in the LI zoning district per the table in § 150.047(B).
(2) Because no list of uses can be exhaustive, interpretations on unspecified uses shall be rendered by the Town Community Development Director with the right to appeal to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council.
(D) Property development standards. (See Part 8, Additional Height and Area Regulations and Exceptions.)
