This Zoning Code permits specific uses in specific
districts, and these performance standards are designed to limit,
restrict and prohibit the effects of those uses outside their premises
or district. All structures, lands, air and waters shall hereafter,
in addition to their use, site and sanitary regulations, comply with
the following performance standards established in this article.
No person or activity shall emit any fly ash,
dust, fumes, vapors, mists or gases in such quantities so as to substantially

utilization, processing or storage of flammable and explosive materials
shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard
of fire and explosion and with adequate fire-fighting and fire-suppression

that range from active to intense burning shall be manufactured, utilized,
processed and stored only in completely enclosed buildings which have
incombustible exterior walls and an automatic fire-extinguishing system.

or explosive vapors shall not exceed 30,000 gallons.
No activity shall emit glare or heat that is
visible or measurable outside its premises except activities which

outside their district. All operations producing intense glare or

sources of light shall be shielded so as not to be visible outside
their premises.
