§ 90-541. General description and intent.

The primary purpose of the M-3 heavy industrial district is to establish an area where the principal use of land is for heavy industrial operations which create some nuisances that are not properly associated with nor particularly compatible with residential, institutional and neighborhood commercial service establishments. The specific intent of this district is to:

(1)

Encourage the construction of and continued use of the land for heavy industrial purposes which have the potential to generate negative environmental impacts on the surrounding community. Some of these impacts include the potential for air pollution, water quality degradation, loud noise and odor.

(2)

Prohibit residential and neighborhood commercial use of the land to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with the development, continuation or expansion of heavy industrial uses in the district.
