WAREHOUSING, ANCILLARY: | The use of a portion of a building for the related storage of goods of any type by one or two businesses and used for the sale or distribution of those goods directly to their customers. A manufacturing, assembly, service commercial, or other type of commercial or industrial use (i.e., primary use) manufactures and/or stores and distributes the goods or components that are produced or contained on-site, and therefore includes the related storage of those goods or items. Ancillary storage or warehousing is subordinate and incidental to the primary land use (e.g., manufacturing, assembly, service commercial, or other type of primary commercial or industrial use). Ancillary storage or warehousing may include ground level loading doors on one or more sides of the building, or not more than five (5) dock high loading doors on one side of the building only.
