The Planned Industrial Districts (PID) are intended
to permit the creation of defined areas for the unified and orderly
development of compatible industrial uses. A PID allows flexibility
in planning and development and provides a process for evaluating
plans to assure compatibility with adjacent industrial and nonindustrial
districts.
The following uses may be permitted in the Planned
Industrial District:
A. Research, development and testing facilities when
in conformance with applicable zoning regulations and other standards
and performance standards contained herein.
B. Compounding, fabrication, assembly and processing
operations similar to but not limited to:
(1) Electrical, electronic equipment and appliances, instruments,
devices and components.
(2) Furniture and furnishings.
(3) Musical, scientific, medical, dental and photographic
instruments and supplies.
(4) Recreational equipment and toys.
(5) Clothing and other textile products.
(6) Candy, pharmaceuticals, soap and toiletries.
(7) Panels, sheets, tubes and rods.
(8) Automobile and boating accessories from previously
prepared materials.
(9) Printing, publishing and engraving.
(10)
Food and beverage products.
(11)
Preparation of articles or merchandise from
previously prepared materials: bone, cellophane, canvas, cloth, cork,
feathers, felt, fiber, fur, glass, hair, leather, paper, plastics,
precious or semiprecious metals or stones, light sheet metals, rubber,
shell, textiles, tobacco, wire, wax, yarns, wood and paint.
C. Light manufacturing and lumber yards or mills (processing
and finishing) meeting the performance standards specified herein
and approved by the Planning Board.
D. Warehousing and wholesale distribution, including
public utilities storage or service facilities, and contractors' equipment
or materials storage.
E. Offices and office buildings.
F. Retail sale of products manufactured on site with
the Planning Board recommendation and subjected to the Town Board's
approval.
G. Other industrial uses which, in the opinion of the
Planning Board, are similar in nature and scale to those permitted
above and consistent with the objectives of the Master Plan.
Parking and loading requirements applicable
in the Planned Industrial District are set forth to maintain a flow
of traffic. All parking and loading is prohibited in the street. Facilities
must be maintained to accommodate the companies' needs.
Sign regulations applicable in the Planned Industrial District are set forth in the Town of Concord Sign Ordinance, §§
150-129 through
150-139.
All uses in a Planned Industrial District shall
adhere to the following standards:
A. Dust and smoke. The emission of smoke, soot, fly ash,
fumes, dust and other types of air pollution borne by the wind shall
be controlled so that the rate of emission and quantity deposited
shall not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
comfort or welfare or adversely affect property values.
B. Glare and heat. Any operation producing intense glare
or heat shall be conducted in such a manner so that the glare or heat
shall be completely imperceptible from any point along a lot line.
C. Odorous matter. The emission of odorous matter in
such quantities as to produce a public nuisance or hazard beyond the
lot occupied by the user shall not be permitted.
D. Noise. The weighted average sound pressure level as
measured at the edge of a lot and which is produced by a mechanical,
electrical or other equipment operation on the lot, where said lot
is adjacent to a residential area, shall not exceed the average intensity
of the street traffic noise in that residential area. No sound shall
have objectionable intermittence, volume, beat, frequency or shrillness
characteristics. The maximum level shall not exceed 65 decibels on
the A-scale measured at any adjacent residential property line.
E. Vibration. Every use shall be so operated that the
ground vibration inherently and recurrently generated by said use
is not perceptible without instruments at any point along any property
line of the lot on which the use is located.
F. Fire and explosive hazards. The handling, use and
nonbulk storage of flammable and combustible materials shall be permitted
only in conformance with New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and
Building Code requirements and in structures having noncombustible
exterior walls, and all operations in connection therewith shall be
provided with adequate safety and protective devices against hazards
of fire and explosion, as well as with adequate fire-fighting and
suppression equipment and devices standard to the operation involved,
as determined by the Planning Board.
G. Toxic or noxious matter. The emission of toxic, noxious
or corrosive fumes or gases which would be injurious to property,
vegetation, animals or human health at or beyond the boundaries of
the lot occupied by the use shall not be permitted.
H. Fissionable or radioactive materials. No activities
shall be permitted which utilize fissionable or radioactive materials
if their use results at any time in the release or emission of fissionable
or radioactive material into the atmosphere, the ground or sewerage
systems which exceeds New York State regulation or more than 25% above
background levels.
I. Liquid wastes. New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation and/or Health Department approval shall be required prior
to the discharge of any liquid wastes unless said waste is discharged
in a public sewer system. Liquid wastes discharged into a public sewer
shall be in conformity with applicable Federal and/or State Health
Department criteria.
