In expansion of the community development objectives contained in Article II of this chapter and in support of the goals and recommendations of the 1993 Lower Salford Comprehensive Plan, it is the intent of the article to: Permit a broad range of manufacturing and other industrial uses, including heavy industrial uses; Establish reasonable standards for the height and size of buildings and the areas and dimensions of yards and open spaces; Provide standards to minimize traffic congestion, noise, glare, odors, vibration, electrical interference, air pollution, water pollution, fire, health and safety hazards and other adverse impacts of industrial facilities and operations; Protect the community and abutting properties from the potential adverse impact of heavy industrial uses by requiring these uses to meet more restrictive standards than light industrial uses; Provide landscaping requirements, building and parking setbacks and other regulations to minimize the negative impacts of industrial development on surrounding nonindustrial uses; Reduce vehicle trips by allowing a limited number of nonindustrial uses to meet the convenience needs of industrial employees.
