(e) To protect manufacturing, commercial services and related development against congestion insofar as is possible and appropriate in each area by limiting the bulk of buildings in relation to the land and by providing adequate off-street parking and loading facilities;
(f) To provide a general industrial district for the manufacturing of products and processes which normally require a large land area;
(g) To provide a Research Manufacturing District that allows for commercial service, research and light industrial development; and
