are industrial processes which are normally conducted entirely within
an enclosed building, and which do not emit any odor, noxious fumes
or degraded air emissions, smoke, degraded water quality, noise, heat,
vibration, glare or radiation that is detectable at the property line
and that do not pose a significant public safety or health hazard
or significant adverse effect to the natural environment. Areas proposed
to be so zoned shall be served by sanitary sewers, adequate drainage
control and/or storm sewers and public water.

B. Upon determination by the Zoning Officer that a specific
use originally permitted within this district is to be changed so
that it involves a separate, different and distinct service, use,
process or product, or involves a new operator, an application for
a conditional permit must be made to the Planning Board. Prior to
authorizing issuance of the conditional permit, the Planning Board
may require the correction of any and all phases of the operation
which may become or have become detrimental to the neighborhood.
