Stamford’s two industrial zones provide appropriate areas for industrial uses and provide for separation between such uses and residential and other incompatible uses. The General Industrial (“M-G”) zone is reserved for those industries that produce nuisances such as truck traffic, smoke, dust and other hazards. These districts are predominantly mapped along Stamford’s commuter rail lines running through Waterside, South End, Cove, the East Side, Glenbrook and Springdale, and along the Stamford Canal. The Light Industrial (“M-L”) zone allows industrial uses that have minimum off-site impact. This zone includes more stringent development and performance standards than the M-G zone. There are three M-L districts currently mapped in Stamford.
