5.7. Industrial Buildings
INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS Industrial buildings are expected to be
utilitarian in design to accommodate a wide range of internal activities that range from heavy machinery to storage. The industrial building typically has 4 yards (front yard; 2 side yards; and rear yard) to allow for site landscaping to soften the often long expanses of wall that are typical to this type.
