Light M-1 and General M-2 Industrial Districts and their regulations are established herein in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(a) To provide in appropriate and convenient districts sufficient areas for carrying on research, providing commercial services, manufacturing and distributing goods to serve the community, to promote employment to strenghten the economy of the community;
(b) To provide Light Industrial Districts in appropriate and convenient areas for business, contracting, storage, distribution and transportation services, and related types of minor production processes;
(c) To provide General Industrial Districts for those products and processes which normally require a large amount of motor vehicle trucking for transportation of raw materials and finished product, but in which dust, smoke, fumes, glare, odors or other objectionable influences can be controlled;
(d) To improve the general environment by prohibiting dwellings, institutions and public facilities in the industrial districts, and by so doing, make land more readily accessible for industry;
(e) To protect adjacent residential districts by restricting the types of manufacturing uses in the surrounding areas to only those not creating objectionable influences beyond their district boundaries and by separating and insulating them from the most intense manufacturing activities;
(f) To protect manufacturing 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 off-street parking and loading facilities.
