M-1
.01 INTENT and DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
The M-1 District is intended to control the development of lands to be used by industrial
firms that have high standards of performance and that can locate in close proximity to
business uses, and in locations convenient to residential areas, without creating
nuisances. The district regulations are designed to permit the operations of most
manufacturing, wholesaling, and warehousing activities with adequate protection to
adjacent district uses and sufficient control of external effects to protect one industry from
another. Some retail uses are permitted that service the industrial uses within the
industrial area or that do not depend upon intensive visits of retail customers. In this
district, outdoor storage must be completely screened and all industrial operations must
be in an enclosed building.
