   Motorist Service, Office-Laboratory, and Production-Distribution Districts and regulations are hereby established in order to achieve among others, the following purposes:

   (a)    To provide appropriate, convenient and ample districts for motorists services, office and research activities, and the production and distribution of goods other than goods offered for sale at retail to the ultimate consumer, in order to serve and promote economic development of the Municipality and to utilize the extraordinary transportation facilities; more specifically:

      (1)    To provide Motorist Service Districts in convenient areas directly related to the freeway interchange to serve the needs of the through and local motorist, and

      (2)    To provide Office-Laboratory Districts in close proximity to the freeway system so as to be accessible to widely dispersed administrative and technical personnel in the region, and

      (3)    To provide Production-Distribution Districts near the freeway system for uses which generate relatively large volumes of traffic, so as to be accessible to a large labor force throughout the region, and

   (b)    To protect and stabilize developments from traffic congestion by regulating the intensity of use, by requiring off-street parking, loading and on-site circulation facilities, and by regulating the access to streets, and

   (c)    To protect nearby residential neighborhoods by restricting the types of nearby uses, particularly at their common boundaries, which would create objectionable influences, and

   (d)    To provide for the immediate development and protection of the area in the vicinity of the Wilson Mills interchange while a comprehensive plan is being prepared. (Ord. 763. Passed 9-17-62; Ord. 74-17. Passed 4-15-74.)
