16-36-010 LM light manufacturing district established.
The LM light manufacturing district is established as a transitional zone between residential/retail uses and those of heavy manufacturing activities that create offensive and noxious influences. The intent of this district is to provide space for light manufacturing assembling, finishing of products (this does not include the processing of raw materials), wholesaling, warehousing and storage without adversely affecting the health, safety, convenience, and welfare of people living and working in nearby areas; and to protect the manufacturing district from incompatible uses by prohibiting the encroachment of residential dwellings, thereby ensuring adequate space for future manufacturing developments.
