The Restricted Industrial (RI) District is provided in recognition of industrial uses which seek locations in suburban areas or near residential areas. These industrial uses generally require a minimum of services and facilities and generate limited industrial traffic. These uses typically operate within an enclosed structure and have little or no adverse effect on adjacent land by producing little or no noise, odor, dust, smoke, glare, or hazard.
The Restricted Industrial District is intended to encourage areas of industrial use with architecturally attractive structures surrounded by landscaped yards. Such industrial development may be in close proximity to other land areas, but is best accomplished at the periphery of such areas.
