Section 8.02 IND-2, Industrial Districts

 

The following regulations shall apply in IND-2, Industrial Districts.

 

(a) General Description

 

The IND-2, general industrial district is established to provide areas in which the principal use of land is for processing, manufacturing, assembling, fabrication and for warehousing. The IND-2 district provides for enterprises in which goods are generally mass produced from raw materials on a large scale through use of an assembly line or similar process, usually for sale to wholesalers or other industrial or manufacturing uses. Medium industry produces moderate external effects such as smoke, noise, soot, dirt, vibration, odor, etc. These uses do not depend primarily on frequent personal visits of customers or clients, but usually require good accessibility to major street, rail, water or air transportation routes. Such uses have some adverse effects on surrounding properties and are not normally associated with, nor compatible with, residential, institutional, or retail commercial uses.
