S-1 SPECIAL | To preserve environmentally sensitive areas, to maintain open space and to encourage the preservation of undeveloped areas. |

M-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL | To provide locations for industrial uses which can be operated in a clean and quiet manner subject to those regulations and performance standards necessary to prohibit congestion and for the protection of adjacent residential and business activities. |
M-2 INDUSTRIAL | To provide locations for a broad range of industrial uses, which, because of outdoor operations or because of their size, noise, dirt, dust, vibration, odor, or traffic require special performance standards in addition to those generally applicable in the M-1 district. |
Land may also be classified into the following special districts: | |
FP FLOOD PLAIN | FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT To establish certain districts along water courses that may periodically be inundated by flood waters. Uses are restricted in these areas so as to preserve life, protect property, minimize disruption of commerce and government services and prevent or minimize damage.
