General Industrial District

The M-2, general industrial district is established as a district in which the principal uses allowed would be more intensive in nature than those uses allowed in the M-1, light industrial district.; The intent of this district is to provide areas for industrial uses, which, because of the nature of their operation, require review and regulation concerning potential adverse appearance, nuisance effects, air pollution and groundwater pollution to ensure that they would minimize impacts with surrounding residential or commercial land uses and to provide areas in the township where industrial uses requiring outdoor storage would locate.; The M-2, general industrial district is designed primarily for contractor yards, manufacturing, assembling, and fabrication activities including large scale or specialized industrial operations, whose external physical effects will be felt to some degree by surrounding districts. The M-2 district is so structured as to permit the manufacturing, processing, and compounding of semifinished or finished products from raw materials as well as from previously prepared material.; The M-2 general industrial district is also established to accommodate existing industrial uses established prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, not permitted in the M-1 district, but specifically excluding those heavy industrial uses such as, but not limited to, the manufacture or processing of chemicals, cement or rubber products; stockyards; steel mills; or distilleries that are inconsistent with the planned character of the community.
