The Industrial District (I-1) and its regulations are established in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(a) To provide a convenient and sufficient zoning district for industrial activities and for the production, distribution, and exchange of goods and services in order to serve and promote the economic development of the community.
(b) To protect residential neighborhoods adjacent to industrial uses by restricting the types of uses, particularly at the common boundaries, which would create congestion, noise or other objectionable influences beyond the district boundaries and by separating and insulating residential districts from the most intense industrial activities.
(c) To establish performance standards, parking specifications and setback regulations to ensure that industrial development is compatible with adjacent uses.
(d) To provide a Light Industrial District (I-1) which shall accommodate wholesale, warehouse, assembly, processing and other limited industrial uses, including storage and related activities, that operate with a minimum of noise, glare, odor, dust, vibration, air and water pollution, fire and safety hazard or any potentially nuisance characteristic. The I-1 District is designed to accommodate light industrial uses and activities, the operational and physical characteristics of which do not detrimentally affect surrounding zoning districts.
