The use of land, buildings and other structures,
wherever located, shall be established and conducted so as to conform
to the performance standards hereinafter specified. The performance
standards establish certain nuisance factors which if committed or
exceeded in the use of land, buildings and other structures will be

The Zoning Enforcement Officer is authorized to make surveys and take
measurements to determine compliance. No application for a certificate
of zoning compliance shall be approved by the Zoning Enforcement Officer
and no certificate of zoning compliance shall be issued by him until
he has made a determination that the proposed use of land, buildings
and other structures will be established and conducted in accordance
with the performance standards and with the standards stated in other
relevant town, state and federal codes, ordinances or regulations.
The performance standards hereinafter specified shall be of continuing
application.

odors shall be emitted into the air from any lot so as to endanger
the public health and safety, to impair safety on or the value and
reasonable use of any other lot, or to constitute a critical source
of air pollution or to create a nuisance.
With the exception of time signals and noise
necessarily involved in the construction or demolition of buildings
and other structures, no noise shall be transmitted outside the lot
where it originates when noise has a sound level, intermittence and/or
beat frequency which would endanger the public health and safety or
impairs safety on or the value and reasonable use of any other lot.
With the exception of vibration necessarily
involved in the construction or demolition of buildings, no vibrations
shall be transmitted outside the lot where it originates.
