The primary purpose of the M-1 limited industrial district is to permit certain industries
which do not in any way detract from residential desirability to locate in any area
adjacent to residential uses. The limitations on or provisions relating to height
of buildings; horsepower; heating; flammable liquids or explosives; controlling emission
of fumes, odors and noise; landscaping; and the number of persons employed are imposed
to protect and foster adjacent residential desirability while permitting industries
to locate near a labor supply.
