The following specific standards are hereby adopted and must
be complied with, for and by any use in any Industrial District and
before the same be permitted, established, maintained or conducted.
Materials, supplies or semifinished products shall be stored
on the rear 1/2 of the property and shall be screened from any existing
or proposed street.
No loading docks shall be on any street frontage. Provisions
for handling of all freight shall be on those sides of any building
which do not face on any street or proposed streets.
It is hereby declared that all areas of the lot not occupied
by buildings, parking, driveways or walkways or storage shall be landscaped
attractively with lawn, trees, shrubs or other plant material. Such
landscaping shall take into consideration the natural growth presently
on the premises and the nature and condition of the terrain as well
as the situation of the lands and premises themselves and with regard
to adjoining lands and premises.
Property that is adjacent to a residential or commercial district
shall be provided along such property lines with a wall, fence, compact
evergreen hedge or a landscaped strip of trees and shrubs so designed
as to form a visual screen not less than six feet high at the time
of planting. Except for landscaped areas and parking areas, a use
which is not conducted within a completely enclosed building shall
be screened by a six-foot solid masonry wall, chain-link fence covered
with an evergreen vine or compact evergreen hedge. Where a front yard
adjoins a street, the wall, fence or hedge shall be located no closer
to the street than the depth of the required yard.
In addition to the fences and walls, the entire district must
be separated along its outside boundary from any adjoining residential
zones by a buffer strip, suitably landscaped, at least 100 feet wide.
Proper and adequate water supply, sewerage and waste disposal,
other utility services and accessibility to and from public streets
must be provided.
Special consideration must be given to the traffic generated
by each proposed use in an Industrial District, and no undue traffic
volumes shall be permitted on residential streets. Such data is to
be submitted with each application. No access drive for any Industrial
District shall be within 300 feet of and on the same side of the street
as a school, public library, theater, church or other public gathering
place, park, playground or fire station unless a street 50 feet or
more wide lies between such access drive and such building or use.
The Planning Board, upon review of the proposed development,
may prescribe such additional conditions as are in its opinion necessary
to secure the objectives of this chapter.
