Medium Industrial District

Medium industrial is intended to accommodate heavier forms of fabrication, assembly, processing and storage, and larger scale warehousing and distribution that, by nature, may create an infrequent visual, audio or scent nuisance to nearby residential and commercial developments. Medium industrial anticipates that some components of finished products may be produced on site and assembled into a final product. Retail sales are not permitted medium industrial zones excepting when they can be proven to be auxiliary to the process for example, an outlet store for products manufactured or warehoused within the facility. Medium industrial anticipates a moderate to heavy volume of vehicular traffic. While periodic movement and storage of rail cars is permitted in a medium industrial zone, such activity should be limited in frequency so as to not present a persistent obstacle to the free flow of traffic in the vicinity of the establishment. Large scale warehousing and distribution centers are allowed in medium industrial zones with the caveat that appropriate steps shall be taken to properly plan and develop internal roadways and connections to public streets that promotes the free flow of traffic in the area.
