(A)
The industrial districts are designed to accommodate enterprises engaged in the manufacturing, processing, creating, repairing, renovating, painting, cleaning or assembling of goods, merchandise or equipment.
(B) In promoting the general purposes of this chapter, the following industrial districts are hereby created to accomplish the purposes and serve the objectives indicated.
(1) The I-1 Industrial District is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for industries which can be operated in a relatively clean and quiet manner and which will not be obnoxious to adjacent residential or business districts; warehousing and wholesaling activities with limited contact with the general public; and for certain outdoor amusement facilities which generate large volumes of automobile traffic. The regulations are designed to prohibit the use of land for heavy industry which should be properly segregated and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with the development of industrial and wholesaling establishments in the district. Residential uses in this district are permitted only upon the issuance of a special use permit.
(2) The I-2 Industrial District is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for warehousing, mixed industrial, heavy industrial and heavy commercial type uses. For the I-2 Industrial District, in promoting the general purposes of this chapter, the specific intent of this district is:
(a) To provide appropriate zoning districts for existing industrial type areas which are predominantly developed at the time of the adoption of this chapter;
(b) To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses in this district;
(c) To encourage the continued use of land for industrial purposes;
(d) To discourage residential and light commercial uses of land and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with the continuation of permitted uses in the district; and
(e) To encourage heavy users of municipal services, especially water and sewer service, to congregate in specific sections of the community so that the town may effectively provide services to its industries without undue expenditure of funds.
