Permitted uses in this district may require extensive amounts of outdoor storage or outdoor operations. The permitted uses provided for in this district should be separated from Residential Districts or low intensity commercial/mixed use districts by less intense Industrial Districts.
(B) Permitted uses.
(C) Development standards.
