(a) Purpose. The purpose of the industrial district is to provide for a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and office uses, but to restrict or prohibit those uses which have characteristics likely to produce serious adverse effects within or beyond the limits of the industrial district. The intention of the industrial district is to preserve the land for industrial, commercial, and office uses and to exclude residential use. Industrial uses shall not be located in residential districts and should be buffered from residential uses by natural barriers, railway corridors, major arterial streets, and waterways.

(b) Plan Commission approval.

(1) Industrial uses are only permitted on parcels in an industrial district that are accessible by a designated truck access route. The property owner is required to provide a traffic impact study with the development plan.

(2) Any new structure, any addition to an existing building, and any exterior modification to a building or site shall submit a development plan for review pursuant to article XVI.

(3) The Plan Commission shall review the development plan of any proposed use of any lot or parcel of ground located within the industrial district prior to the issuance of a building permit by the Town. Once approved by the Plan Commission, the development plan shall not be materially or substantially changed or altered without the prior approval of the Plan Commission. The development plan shall address the comprehensive arrangement of land uses, buildings, landscape areas, roads, and parking areas in accordance with harmonious and aesthetic principles and compatibility with adjoining zoning district areas.
