The Industrial Districts established in this chapter are designed
to promote and protect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience,
prosperity, and other aspects of the general welfare. The specific
goals of the Industrial Districts include, but are not necessarily
limited to, the following:
A.
To provide adequate space in appropriate locations to meet the needs
of the Village's expected future economy for manufacturing and industrial
activities with due allowance for the need for a choice of sites.
B.
To provide, so far as possible, that space will be available for
manufacturing and industrial activity, and to protect residences by
separating them from such activities, and by prohibiting the use of
industrial space for new residential development.
C.
To protect industrial development against congestion, so far as feasible,
by limiting the bulk of buildings in relation to the land around them
and to one another, and by providing space off public streets for
parking and loading facilities associated with such activities.
D.
To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance with the
Official Village Plan, to promote stability of industrial activities,
to strengthen the economic base of the Village, to protect the character
and established pattern of desirable development in each area, to
conserve the value of land and buildings and other structures, and
to protect the Village's tax revenues.

D.
Smoke and particulate matter general restrictions.
(1)
Any use already established on the effective date of this chapter
shall be permitted to be altered, enlarged, expanded, or modified,
provided that new sources of smoke and/or particulate matter conform
to the performance standards established hereinafter for the district
in which such use is located. The total emission weight of particulate
matter from all sources within the boundaries of the lot shall not
exceed the net amount permitted in the district in which the use is
located after such alteration, enlargement, expansion or modification.
(2)
In addition to the performance standards specified hereinafter, the
emission of smoke or particulate matter in such manner or quantity
as to be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort,
or welfare is hereby declared to be a public nuisance and shall hence
forth be unlawful.
(3)
For the purpose of grading the density of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart,
published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be
employed. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density
equal to No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited at all times,
except as otherwise provided hereinafter.
(4)
The emission from all sources within any lot area of particulate
matter containing more than 5% by weight of particulates having a
particle diameter larger than 44 microns is prohibited.
(5)
Dust and other types of air pollution, borne by the wind from such
sources as storage areas, yards, roads, and so forth within lot boundaries,
shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling,
or other acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such
sources in excess of the weight limitations specified hereinafter
for the district in which such use shall be located is prohibited.
E.
Smoke and particulate matter restrictions in I-1 Industrial District.
(1)
In the I-1 Industrial District, the following additional regulations
apply:

2. However, once during any three-hour period, each stack shall be
permitted up to 20 smoke units (not to exceed Ringelmann No. 2) in
30 minutes for soot blowing and fire cleaning. Only during fire cleaning
shall smoke of Ringelmann No. 3 be permitted, and then for not more
than six minutes.
(b)
The rate of particulate matter emission from all sources within
the boundaries of any lot shall not exceed a net figure of three pounds
per acre of lot area during any one-hour period, after deducting from
the gross hourly emission per acre the correction factor set forth
in the following table:

Determination of the total net rate of emission of particulate matter
within the boundaries of any lot shall be made as follows:
(a)
Determine the maximum emission in pounds per hour from each
source of emission and divide this figure by the number of acres of
lot area, thereby obtaining the gross hourly rate of emission in pounds
per acre.
(b)
From each gross hourly rate of emission derived in Subsection
E(2)(a) above, deduct the correction factor (interpolating as required)
for height of emission set forth in the table, thereby obtaining the
net rate of emission in pounds per acre per hour from each source
of emission.
(c)
Add together the individual net rate of emission derived in
E(2)(b) above to obtain the total net rate of emission from all sources
of emission within the boundaries of the lot; such total shall not
exceed three pounds per acre of lot area during any one hour.
F.
Smoke and particulate matter restriction in I-2 Heavy Industrial
District.
(1)
In the I-2 Heavy Industrial District, the following additional regulations
