4.1 General purpose. The industrial zoning districts are intended to provide for the development of light to heavy industrial uses and their related facilities. Appropriate standards for the various districts are designed to assure compatibility with other similar uses. In the city, such factors as location, availability of transportation, utilities and other factors have combined to create a well-established industrial base. In order to maintain quality industrial development and to protect the health, safety and welfare of the general public the specifics purposes of industrial districts are:

1. To provide sufficient space, at appropriate locations, to meet the needs of the city's projected requirements for all types of distributive, industrial and related activities, with due allowance for the need for choice of suitable sites.

2. To protect distributive, industrial and related activities, as well as residential and related activities by providing for the separation of these uses; to ensure that appropriate space needs for distributive and industrial activities are available or prohibiting the use of space for residential purposes.

3. To protect industrial activities and related developments against congestion, as appropriate for each area, by limiting the bulk of buildings in relation to the land around them and to one another, and by requiring off-street parking and loading facilities to be provided with such developments.

Unless otherwise specifically provided in this section, the following restrictions shall apply to all the industrial districts:

(1) Any lighting visible from outside the site shall be designed to reflect away from adjacent residential districts. No noise, odor or vibration shall be emitted so that it constitutes a nuisance which substantially exceeds the general level of noise, odor or vibration emitted by uses adjacent to or immediately surrounding the site.
