Industrial Uses including construction yards, machine shops, industrial launderers, packing and crating services, fabrication, processing, assembly of materials, products and goods;

Wholesale and warehouse uses - including automotive storage, beverage distributors, self-storage and mini warehouse facilities, wholesale establishments;

Retail businesses including bars, taverns, cocktail lounges, machinery sales, automotive repair shops.
