B. 
Any other use which shall be noxious or offensive by the emission of odor, dust, fumes, gas, vibration or noise shall be prohibited.
Any and all residential uses are prohibited in the Industrial District.
In an Industrial District, no internal combustion engine shall be used unless objectionable noise and vibration are eliminated, and it is equipped and supplied with an effective muffler or silencer.
Adult uses shall be allowable in the Industrial District only.
A. 
Purposes and considerations.
(1) 
It is recognized that there are some uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable characteristics. The objectionable characteristics of these uses are further heightened by their concentration in any one area, thereby having deleterious effects on adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods or land uses.
(2) 
It is further declared that the location of these uses in regard to areas where our youth may regularly assemble and the general atmosphere encompassing their operation is of great concern to the Village of Amityville.
(3) 
These special regulations are itemized in this section to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area and restricting their accessibility to minors.
B. 
Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
