usually completely enclosed, and with limited environmental effects. These uses can be
<br />made compatible with surrounding areas through landscape screening and through
<br />separation required by yard and height limitations. Typically, these uses result in the
<br />creation of finished products for sale on a wholesale basis to retailers or directly on a retail
<br />basis, and include uses in the following areas: lumber products (millwork, cabinet-making),
<br />electronics, textiles, printing and publishing services, bottling works, carpet and rug
<br />cleaning, furniture manufacture, paper (final processing of stationery, bags, etc., from
<br />purchased bulk stock), light metal finishing and light machining, rubber and plastics
<br />(compounding processed resins, molding plastics), gravel based products (pottery, cutting,
<br />finishing granite, firing and decorating clay products), and ice manufacturing.
<br />Motor Freight and Warehousing. Establishments engaged primarily in either the storage or
<br />shipment of goods and materials, including terminal facilities for handling freight, and
<br />maintenance facilities in which the trucks (including tractor trailer units) involved with the
<br />operation of the business are stored, parked and serviced. Materials within a warehouse or
<br />terminal facility may be combined, broken down, or aggregated for trans -shipment or
<br />storage purposes where the original material is not chemically or physically changed.
<br />Non -Production Industrial. Establishments that normally are considered industrial in
<br />character even though they are not involved in the manufacturing or processing of
<br />products. These uses generate negative impacts largely through their need for outside
<br />storage of equipment and materials, the large expanse of land needed for this storage, and
<br />the creation of dirt, dust and noise, along with intermittent truck traffic. These uses
<br />generally can be made compatible through landscape screening and the imposition of
<br />limited performance standards, and thus are not objectionable in most industrial or
<br />commercial districts. The types of uses categorized here include contractors yards,
<br />lumberyards, utility yards, and public maintenance shops and yards.
<br />Research and Testing. Establishments or other facilities for carrying on investigation in the
<br />natural or physical sciences, or engineering and development as an extension of
<br />investigation with the objective of creating end products, on a contract or fee basis, and
<br />including pilot plant operation.
<br />Resource Extraction. A use involving on -site extraction of surface or subsurface mineral
<br />products or natural resources. Typical uses are quarries, borrow pits, sand and gravel
<br />operations, mining, and soil mining. Specially excluded from this use type shall be grading
<br />and removal of dirt associated with an approved site plan or subdivision.
<br />Salvage/Recyclable Center. Land or buildings where waste, discarded, salvaged, or
<br />recyclable materials are bought, sold, stored, exchanged, sorted, cleaned, packed,
<br />disassembled or handled on a commercial basis, including but not limited to, scrap metal,
<br />aluminum, rags, paper, rubber products, glass products, lumber products and products
<br />resulting from the wrecking of automobiles or other vehicles. Any site containing two or
<br />more unregistered, inoperable motor vehicles is classified as a salvage center.
<br />11. Utilities, Transportation and Communications
<br />Air Transportation. Establishments engaged in domestic, emergency, or foreign
<br />transportation of passengers or goods by air, including airports, flying fields, rotorcraft
<br />terminals, as well as any associated terminal facilities.
<br />Broadcasting or Communication. Any unstaffed facility for the transmission and/or
<br />reception of radio, television, radar, cellular telephone, personal paging device,
<br />specialized mobile radio (SMR), and similar services. A Broadcasting or Communication
<br />Facility usually consists of an equipment shelter or cabinet, a support tower or other
<br />structure used to achieve the necessary elevation, and the transmission or reception
<br />devices or antenna. Broadcasting or communication facilities include wireless
<br />communications facilities and wireless communications towers as defined in S11.01.
