The purpose of this district is primarily intended to accommodate for a variety of more intense industrial uses, subject to general compatibility, design and performance standards to not only help minimize detrimental impacts on surrounding, lower-density and/or intensity uses and districts but also to provide for a high-quality environment for businesses and employees. The district is intended to provide suitable locations for heavy industrial uses (e.g., raw materials processing; and manufacturing, assembly, packaging or distribution of heavy or large goods) or more intense uses that, due to the more intensive nature of the processes, materials, products, etc., such uses may not otherwise be compatible in other districts or neighboring properties and uses.
