It is the intent of this article to use performance standards
for the regulation of uses to facilitate a more objective and equitable
basis for control and to insure that the community is adequately protected
from potential hazardous and nuisance-like effects. This chapter permits
specific uses in specific districts, and these performance standards
are designed to limit, restrict and prohibit the effects of those
uses outside their premises or district. No structure, land or water
shall hereafter be used except in compliance with the district regulations
and with the following environmental performance standards.
No unsanctioned activity shall emit glare or heat that is visible
or measurable outside its premises, except activities in the Industrial
District which may emit direct or sky-reflected glare which shall
not be visible outside their district. All operations producing intense
glare or heat shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building.
Exposed sources of light shall be shielded so as not to be visible
outside their premises.
No operation or activity shall emit any substance or combination
of substances in such quantities that create an objectionable odor
as defined in applicable provisions of Ch. NR 429, Wis. Adm. Code,
or any applicable provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes, as amended
from time to time.
All activities involving the manufacturing, utilization, processing
or storage of inflammable and explosive material shall be provided
with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion
and with adequate firefighting and fire-suppression equipment and
devices that are standard in the industry. All materials that range
from active to intense burning shall be manufactured, utilized, processed
and stored only in completely enclosed buildings which have incombustible
exterior walls and an automatic fire-extinguishing system.
No activity shall emit radioactivity or electrical disturbances
outside its premises that are dangerous or adversely affect the use
of neighboring premises.
All waste material, debris, refuse or garbage not disposed of
through the public sanitary sewerage system shall be kept in an enclosed
building or properly contained in a closed container designed for
such purposes. The owner of vacant land shall be responsible for keeping
such land free of refuse.
