[Amended 2-13-2023 by Ord. No. 279]
Artist live/work, as defined in §
300-5, is permitted by right in the CC/CC2 Districts and by special permit, granted by the Planning Board, in the IG, BHD, WDR, RHD, and RMD Districts. The underlying regulations and standards pertaining to the above-named districts apply, unless they conflict with the standards herein, which shall take precedence.
The following performance standards shall apply to all artist
live/work projects:
A. Noise and vibration. Every artist live/work unit shall be designed
and operated in such a manner that it does not produce excessive noise
or vibration beyond the working space.
B. Odor. Every artist live/work unit shall be designed and operated
in such a manner that it does not emit a noxious odor or fumes beyond
the working space or provides proper ventilation so as not to negatively
impact adjacent units.
C. Smoke. Every artist live/work unit shall be designed and operated
in such a manner that it does not emit smoke beyond the working space.
D. Dust and dirt. Every artist live/work unit shall be designed and
operated in such a manner that it does not emit any dust or dirt beyond
the working space.
Sign requirements of the zoning district shall be consistent with Article
XI, Signs. The special permit granting authority may modify such standards for artist live/work as appropriate and pursuant to a recommendation by the Design Review Board.
When approving a special permit under this article, the special permit granting authority shall make findings, in addition to any specific requirements or criteria set forth in §
300-91B of this chapter, that the project proposal meets the following additional criteria:
A. That the proposed project is consistent with the purpose statement described above and designed to accommodate and be attractive to artists and other users as defined as "art use" in §
300-5.
B. That the proposed project is consistent with the development standards in §
300-117 and performance standards in §
300-118.
C. The impacts of noise, vibration, odor, smoke, and dust, or other
impacts, of the proposed uses to ensure the safety and health of residents,
visitors, and neighbors. If necessary, techniques may be required
to prevent the transmission of noise, vibration, odor, smoke, and/or
dust.
