The following regulations shall apply to all land within an I-S District.
After the effective date of this ordinance:
1. With the exception of legally established non-conforming uses,
no land, building, structure, premises or part thereof shall be
used or occupied except in conformity with these regulations
and for uses permitted by this ordinance.
2. No building, structure, premises or part thereof shall be
constructed, erected, converted, enlarged, extenc~ed,
reconstructed or relocated except in conformity with these
regulations and for uses permitted by this ordinance.
Provided, however, legally established non-conforming uses
may be reconstructed if damaged or partially destroyed by fire
or other disaster when such damage or destruction does not
exceed two-thirds (2/3) of the gross floor area of the
structures or facilities affected.
3. For purposes of this ordinance, "lot" shall be defined as any
area of land designated as a lot on a platted subdivision or
described on a duly recorded deed or parcel of land or site
which is occupied, or intended for occupancy by one princiPal

Note: This district is designed for those industries which carry on
their entire operation within a completely enclosed building in such a
manner that no nuisance factor is created or emitted outside an enclosed
building. No storage of raw materials, manufactured products, or any
other materials is permitted in the non-screened open space around the
building. Loading and unloading berths are completely enclosed or
shielded by a solid screening. This district has strict controls on the
intensity of land use' providing protection of each industry from the
encroachment of other industries, it is usually located adiacent to
residential areas and may serve as a buffer between heavier industrial
districts and business or residential districts.
