Production Manufacturing District

The M-5 Production Manufacturing District is intended to provide for manufacturing, assembly, office, and research and development uses with limited warehouse and distribution uses within an enclosed structure wherein no high hazard uses are allowed and the method of manufacturing is not injurious to the point of constituting a nuisance to the occupants of adjacent properties by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust or particle matters, toxic or noxious materials, odors, fire or explosive hazards, glare or heat and located in those areas where the relationship to surrounding land uses would create few problems of compatibility. This district also allows for office parks or individual office buildings and ancillary uses, which may or may not include space for manufacturing, assemblies, or research and development but provides direct services to the employees or customers or other uses in the area. It is anticipated that these areas would be developed in an attractive corporate parklike setting with landscaping, consistent signage, and similar or compatible building materials and designed to present an integrated image to customers. No such district shall be established unless it is in compliance with Village adopted or amended comprehensive, neighborhood and conceptual plans.; Some of the uses allowed in the M-5 District are based on the Use and Occupancy Classification specified in Chapter 3 of the 2006 International Building Code 2006 IBC, as may be amended from time to time. Where a use is proposed for a purpose that is not specifically provided in Chapter 3 of the 2006 IBC and is not specifically listed as a prohibited use in the M-5 District, such use shall be classified in the group that the occupancy most clearly resembles, according to the firesafety and relative hazard involved. The Zoning Administrator shall make the final determination if the use is allowed within the M-5 District.
