The provisions of this article shall be applicable to all zones
and all uses. An application for a construction permit for a nonresidential
use shall provide documentation that the intended use will comply
with the performance standards enumerated below. In the case of a
structure being built where the future use is not known, a construction
permit may be issued until such time as this documentation is submitted
with respect to the particular occupant. A new application and a new
certificate of occupancy shall be required in the event of a change
of any user of any structure.

October 18, 1968, entitled, "An Act for the Protection of Public Health
and Safety from the Dangers of Electronic Product Radiation." Radiation
products, as defined in DHEW Publication No. (FDA) 75-8003, adequately
demonstrate compliance with the minimum standards established by the
Act. All other forms of electromagnetic radiation lying between 100
gigahertz (GHz) shall be restricted to the technical limits established
in the Federal Communication Commission's Rules and Regulations. Additionally,
electric or electronic equipment shall be shielded so there is no
interference with any radio or television reception at the lot line
(or beyond the operator's dwelling unit, in the case of multifamily
dwellings) as the result of the operation of such equipment.
[Amended 8-23-2022 by Ord. No. 5739]
No use shall produce a strong, dazzling light or a reflection
of a strong, dazzling light or glare beyond its lot lines. Exterior
lighting shall be shielded, buffered and directed so that glare, direct
light or reflection will not become a nuisance to adjoining properties,
adjoining dwelling units, adjoining districts or streets.
[Amended 8-23-2022 by Ord. No. 5739]
No use shall produce heat perceptible beyond its lot lines.
Further, no use shall be permitted which would cause the temperature
to rise or fall in any body of water.

at the lot line or beyond.
[Amended 8-23-2022 by Ord. No. 5739]
No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a lot in such
form or manner that they may be transferred off the lot by natural
causes or forces, nor shall any substance be deposited which can contaminate
an underground aquifer or otherwise render such underground aquifer
undesirable as a source of water supply or recreation or which will
destroy aquatic life. All materials or wastes which might cause fumes
or dust or which constitute a fire hazard or which may be edible or
otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored indoors
and enclosed in appropriate containers adequate to eliminate such
hazards. Containers shall not be stored or placed in the front yard
area.
[Amended 8-23-2022 by Ord. No. 5739]
No use shall obstruct the natural ventilation of adjacent uses
or contaminate the air with excessive heat or odor. Further, no air
conditioners or exhaust fans shall be permitted to discharge exhausted
air unless set back from all property lines 10 feet or equipped with
baffles to deflect the discharged air away from the adjacent use.
[Amended 8-23-2022 by Ord. No. 5739]
There shall be no vibration which is discernible to the human
sense of feeling beyond the immediate lot.

provide an overflow outlet to the street gutter.
