The purposes of this chapter are to:
A.
Establish
permissible limits and permit objective measurement of nuisances,
hazards, and objectionable conditions;
B.
Ensure
that all uses will provide necessary control measures to protect the
community from nuisances, hazards, and objectionable conditions; and
C.
Protect
industry from arbitrary exclusion from areas of the City.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
The standards of this chapter shall apply to all uses and properties
existing in the City at the time of adoption of this title.
The Planning Commission may approve a maximum five-year extension
for compliance for existing uses with a contract and schedule for
full compliance. The extension shall be based on the degree of expenditure
needed to achieve full compliance compared to the total value of the
improvements related to the use and the degree of hazard or impact
to the adjoining properties and the community from the existing noncompliance
with the standards.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Land and buildings shall not be used or occupied in a manner
creating any dangerous, injurious, or noxious fire, explosive, or
other hazard that would adversely affect the surrounding area.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Measurements necessary for determining compliance with the performance
standards of this chapter shall be taken at the property line of the
establishment or use that is the source of a potentially objectionable
condition, hazard, or nuisance.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner
that emits excessive dust, odor, fumes, smoke, or particulate matter,
unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. Sources of air
emissions shall comply with all rules established by the Environmental
Protection Agency (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40), the California
Air Resources Board, and the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District
(YSAQMD). The City shall consult with YSAQMD to determine which uses
shall be equipped with emission-control devices or measures to preclude
fugitive dust and particulate emissions from the site. Such devices
or measures shall be approved by YSAQMD prior to issuance of a Building
Permit or other approval authorizing construction activities. All
devices shall be maintained by the owner.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes shall not cause electromagnetic
interference with normal radio and television reception, or with the
function of other electronic equipment beyond the lot line of the
site in which it is situated. All uses, activities, and processes
shall comply with the applicable Federal Communications Commission
regulations.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes involving the use of, or storage
of, flammable and explosive materials, shall be provided with adequate
safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion. No use shall
store or process flammable or explosive materials more than the quantities
exempted by the building code, unless a permit has been granted by
the Fire Department. All incineration is prohibited with the exception
substances such as, but not limited to, chemicals, insecticides, hospital
materials and waste products, required by law to be disposed of by
burning, and those instances wherein the Fire Department deems it
a practical necessity. Firefighting and fire suppression equipment
and devices standard in industry shall be approved by the Fire Department.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes shall not be operated such that
significant, direct glare, incidental to the operation of the use,
is visible beyond the boundaries of the property where the use is
located.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes involving hazardous and extremely hazardous materials shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 8.18, Hazardous Materials, of the municipal code, fire and building codes, regulations of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and regulations of the County Environmental Health Agency. Hazardous materials shall include carcinogens and liquids and solids which are unstable at ambient temperatures. Projects utilizing hazardous and extremely hazardous materials shall comply with the following:
B.
Hazardous Material Management Plan. Projects using hazardous
and extremely hazardous materials shall provide a Hazardous Material
Management Plan for the review and approval by the Hazardous Materials
Division, the Hazardous Materials Committee, and the Fire Department
prior to final building inspection. Hazardous Material Management
Plans shall demonstrate that adequate safety precautions have been
taken to ensure the proper handling of hazardous and extremely hazardous
materials, including, but not limited to, the following:
C.
Conditional Use Permit Required. If upon the review of the
Hazardous Materials Management Plan, the Hazardous Materials Division
or Hazardous Materials Committee determines that the hazardous and
extremely hazardous materials pose a significant public health risk
beyond the property line, the applicant shall be required to obtain
a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission.
D.
Hazardous Material Signage. All buildings or structures containing
hazardous and extremely hazardous materials shall be labeled on all
doorways and entrances with easy-to-read signs. Signs shall provide
emergency response teams with information on the hazardous contents
of the building or structure and proper containment procedures. Signage
shall conform to standards established by the Fire Department.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes shall not produce any emissions
of heat or humidity that cause distress, physical discomfort, or injury
to a reasonable person, or interfere with the ability to perform work
tasks or conduct other customary activities. In no case shall heat
emitted by a use cause a temperature increase of more than five degrees
Fahrenheit on another property.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
A.
Acoustic Study. An acoustic study shall be required for any
proposed project which could create or be subject to a noise that
exceeds the levels contained in Tables S-7.1 through S-7.4 in the
General Plan.
B.
Noise Attenuation Measures. Any project subject to the acoustic study requirements of subsection A, Acoustic Study, may be required as a condition of approval to incorporate noise attenuation measures deemed necessary to ensure that noise standards are not exceeded.
1.
New
noise-sensitive uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, churches, and residences)
shall incorporate noise attenuation measures to achieve and maintain
an interior noise level of 45 dBA.
2.
Noise
attenuation measures identified in an acoustic study shall be incorporated
into the project to reduce noise impacts to satisfactory levels.
3.
Emphasis
shall be placed upon site planning and project design measures. The
use of noise barriers shall be considered and may be required only
after all feasible design-related noise measures have been incorporated
into the project.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Uses, activities, and processes shall not generate or emit any
fissionable or radioactive materials into the atmosphere, a sewage
system or onto the ground.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
A.
Discharge. Liquids and solids of any kind shall not be discharged,
either directly or indirectly, into a public or private body of water,
sewage system, watercourse, or into the ground, except in compliance
with Title 13, Public Services, of the municipal code, applicable
regulations of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.
B.
Containment. Waste shall be handled and stored to prevent
nuisances, health, safety, and fire hazards, and to facilitate recycling.
Material, including, but not limited to, paper products, plastic,
dirt, sand, lime, seed, bran, chaff, wood refuse, and other readily
transportable compounds, shall be contained in a way it cannot be
tracked or carried by wind off site.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
No vibration shall be produced that is transmitted through the
ground and is discernible without the aid of instruments by a reasonable
person at the lot lines of the site. Vibrations from temporary construction,
demolition, and vehicles that enter and leave the subject parcel (e.g.,
construction equipment, trains, trucks, etc.) are exempt from this
standard. Where vibration dampeners are proposed, project applications
shall include an engineered study establishing the effectiveness of
the dampeners based on actual conditions.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
