A.
"I-1" General Industrial District. This district is intended to provide
for the conduct of manufacturing, assembly and fabrication and for
warehousing, distribution, wholesaling and service operations which
create a minimum amount of nuisance outside the plant; are conducted
entirely within enclosed buildings, do not use the open area around
such buildings for storage of raw materials or manufactured products
or for any other industrial purpose other than transporting goods
between buildings; provide for enclosed or screened loading and unloading
berths; and which are not noxious or offensive by reason of the emission
of smoke, dust, fumes, gas odors, noises, or vibrations beyond the
confines of the building. This district shall be located to provide
substantial frontage along circumferential collector roads with ready
access to the arterial network to minimize conflicts between truck
and local passenger automobile traffic and along railroad access corridors
where possible. Sufficient depth of area should be provided to facilitate
buffering of any adjacent residential uses.
B.
"I-2" General Industrial District.
1.
This district is intended to provide for the conduct of light
manufacturing, assembly and fabrication and for warehousing, distribution,
wholesaling and service operations which create a minimum amount of
nuisance outside the plant; are conducted entirely within enclosed
buildings, do not use the open area around such buildings for storage
of raw materials or manufactured products or for any other industrial
purpose other than transporting goods between buildings; provide for
enclosed or screened loading and unloading berths; and which are not
noxious or offensive by reason of the emission of smoke, dust, fumes,
gas odors, noises, or vibrations beyond the confines of the building.
This district shall be located to provide substantial frontage along
circumferential collector roads with ready access to the arterial
network to minimize conflicts between truck and local passenger automobile
traffic and along railroad access corridors where possible. Sufficient
depth of area should be provided to facilitate buffering of any adjacent
residential uses.
2.
All uses in the "I-2" General Industrial District shall meet
the following performance standards:
Performance Standards. To be a permitted industrial use in the
Light Industrial District ("I-2"), whether as a permitted use, accessory
use or as a Conditional use, such use must meet the following performance
standards:
a.
Physical Appearance. All operations shall be carried on within
an enclosed building except delivered materials or equipment in operable
condition may be stored in the open for no more than twenty-four (24)
hours. Normal daily wastes of an inorganic nature may be stored in
containers not in a building when such containers are not readily
visible from the street.
Except as set forth above, all storage of materials, products
or equipment shall be within a fully enclosed building.
A solid or semi-solid fence or wall at least six (6) feet, but
not more than eight (8) feet high, and having a density of not less
than seventy percent (70%) per square foot or a barrier of vegetation
as called for by City ordinances in Appendix B shall be provided adjacent
to an adjoining residential district at the determination of the Zoning
Enforcement Official or City Administrator. If the adjacent residential
district and the industrial district are separated by a street right-of-way,
then said fence, wall or barrier shall be used along the interior
side of said street. Said fence, wall or barrier shall be maintained
in good condition by the owner or owners of the property in the "I-2"
District.
b.
Fire Hazard. No operation shall involve the use of highly flammable
gases, acid, liquids, grinding processes or other hazardous processes.
Nothing in this Section is designed to prohibit the use of normal
heating fuels, motor fuels and welding gases when handled in accordance
with other City ordinances.
c.
Noise. No operation shall be carried on which involves noise
in excess of the normal traffic noise of the adjacent street at the
time of the daily peak hour of traffic volume. Noise shall be measured
at the property line and when the level of such noise cannot be determined
by observation with the natural senses, a suitable instrument may
be used and measurement may include breakdowns into a reasonable number
of frequency ranges. All noises shall be muffled so as not to be objectionable
due to intermittence, heat frequency or shrillness.
d.
Sewage And Liquid Wastes. No operation shall be carried on which
involves the discharge into a sewer, water course or the ground of
liquid wastes of any radioactive nature, or liquid wastes of a chemical
nature which are detrimental to normal sewage plant operation or corrosive
and damaging to sewer pipes and installations.
e.
Air Contaminants. Air contaminants and smoke shall be less dark
than designated Number One on the Ringleman Chart as published by
the United States Bureau of Mines, except that smoke of a density
designated as Number One shall be permitted for one (1) four (4) minute
period in each one-half (1/2) hour. Light colored contaminants of
such an opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal
to or greater than the aforesaid shall not be permitted. Particulate
matter of dust as measured at the point of emission by any generally
accepted method shall not be emitted in excess of two-tenths (.2)
grains per cubic foot as corrected to a temperature of five hundred
degrees Fahrenheit (500° F.), except for a period of four (4)
minutes in any one-half (1/2) hour, at which time it may equal, but
not exceed six-tenths (0.6) grains per cubic foot as corrected to
a temperature of five hundred degrees Fahrenheit (500° F.).
Due to the fact that the possibilities of air contamination
cannot reasonably be comprehensively covered in this Section, there
shall be applied the general rule that there shall not be discharged
from any sources whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or
other material in such quantity as to cause injury, detriment, nuisance
or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public
in general or to endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of
any such considerable number of persons or to the public in general
or to cause or have a natural tendency to cause injury or damage to
business, vegetation or property.
f.
Odor. The emissions of odors that are generally agreed to be
obnoxious to any considerable number of persons, shall be prohibited.
Observations of odor shall be made at the property line of the establishment
causing the odor. As a guide to classification of odor it shall be
deemed that strong odors of putrefaction and fermentation tend to
be obnoxious and that such odors as associated with baking or the
roasting of nuts and coffee shall not be considered obnoxious within
the meaning of this Article.
g.
Gases. The gases sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide shall
not exceed five (5) parts per million. All nitrous fumes shall not
exceed one (1) part per million. Measurements shall be taken at the
property line of the particular establishment involved.
h.
Vibration. All machines including punch presses and stamping
machines shall be so mounted as to minimize vibration and in no case
shall such vibration exceed a displacement of three-thousandths (3/1,000)
of an inch measured at the property line. The use of steam or broad
hammers shall not be permitted in this district.
i.
Glare And Heat. All glare, such as welding arcs and open furnaces,
shall be shielded so that they shall not be visible from the property
line. No heat from furnaces or processing equipment shall be sensed
at the property line to the extent of raising the temperature of air
or materials more than five degrees Fahrenheit (5° F.).
j.
Residential Use. No structure shall be used for residential
purposes except that a watchman may reside on the premises.
