The industrial districts established in this
ordinance are designed to promote and protect public health, safety
and general welfare. These general objectives include, among others,
the following specific purposes:
A.
To provide sufficient space in appropriate locations
to meet the needs of the Town's expected future economy for all types
of industrial and related activities, with due allowance for the need
for the choice of sites.
B.
To provide, as far as possible, that such space will
be available for use for industrial and related activities, and to
protect residences by separating them from industrial activities and
by prohibiting the use of such space for new residential development,
where required.
C.
To encourage industrial development which is free
from danger of fire, explosions, toxic and noxious matter, radiation
and other hazards, and from offensive noise, vibrations, smoke, dust
and other particulate matter, odorous matter, heat, humidity, glare
and other objectionable influences, by permitting such development
in areas where this ordinance restricts the emission of such nuisances,
without regard to the industrial products and process enveloped.
D.
To protect adjacent residential and other areas, and
to protect the labor force in other establishments engaged in less
offensive types of industry and related activities, by restricting
those activities which involve danger of fire, explosions, toxic and
noxious matter, radiation and other hazards, or create offensive noise,
vibration, smoke and other particulate matter, odorous matter, heat,
humidity, glare and other objectionable influences, to those limited
areas which are appropriate therefor.
E.
To protect industry and related development against
congestion, as far as is possible and appropriate in each area, by
limiting the bulk of buildings in relation to the land around them
and to one another, and by providing space off public streets for
parking and loading facilities associated with such activities.
F.
To promote the most desirable use of land in accord
with a well-considered plan, to promote stability of industry and
related development, to strengthen the economic base of the Town,
to protect the character of the district and its particular suitability
for particular uses, to conserve the value of land and buildings.
