The Industrial districts include the Limited Industrial (L-I) District and the General Industrial (G-I) District. The regulations set forth in this chapter are established in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(a) To provide, in appropriate and convenient districts, sufficient areas for services, distribution and production of goods to serve the community, promote employment and strengthen the economy of the community;
(b) To provide L-I Districts for establishments that utilize processes in which dust, smoke, fumes, glare, odors or other objectionable influences can be controlled, and which normally generate only limited outdoor activities in association with a principal activity that is conducted primarily indoors.
(c) To provide G-I Districts for establishments that utilize products and processes which involve some dust, smoke, fumes, glare, odors or other objectionable influences, but do not create any dangers to the health and safety of the surrounding neighborhoods, and which involve outdoor storage of goods and supplies as well as access to rail transportation and major truck routes.
(d) To improve the general environment by prohibiting dwellings, institutions and public facilities in Industrial Districts, and by the same act, to 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 promote the most desirable and beneficial use of the land in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan.
