Wake Forest Community Plan - May 2023

Light Industrial Description:

Primary Uses: | Industrial Supporting Uses: | Office

Light Industrial uses diversify the Town’s tax base and provide local employment opportunities. They include facilities involved in the manufacturing, processing, storage, and distribution of goods and materials; telecommunication facilities; research centers; R&D/life sciences facilities; tech industries; and flex spaces. Light Industrial uses should feature large-scale, typically single-story buildings that produce minimal outdoor activity. Light Industrial uses should be concentrated in campus-style industrial parks located near major roadways, with sufficient setbacks and screening to reduce visibility and noise impacts on surrounding uses. Compatible office uses that offer supporting services may be appropriate, as well as accessory commercial uses within industrial buildings, such as a furniture maker with a showroom.
