In the "M-1" Light Industrial Zone, permitted uses typically focus on activities that support industrial operations while minimizing conflicts with surrounding areas. Utilities and public facilities are essential components in supporting light industrial activities, providing critical services such as water, electricity, and waste management, which are necessary for industries to operate effectively.

The inclusion of utilities ensures that the industrial zone can sustain its operations, facilitate growth, and accommodate the infrastructure needs of businesses within that zone. Other uses, such as residential or recreational facilities and general retail shops, generally fall outside the scope of light industrial zones, which are specifically designed to accommodate non-residential and industrial activities. This distinction helps maintain the zone’s intended purpose and prevents incompatible uses that could disrupt industrial functions or create conflicts with nearby commercial or residential areas.
