All uses associated with the bulk storage of over 500 gallons of oil, gasoline, liquid fertilizer, chemicals and similar liquids, except fuel oil stored for residential use on residential property, shall require a conditional use permit in order that the city may have the assurance that fire, explosion or water or soil contamination hazards are not present that would be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare. All existing, above ground liquid storage tanks having a capacity in excess of 500 gallons shall secure a conditional use permit within 12 months following enactment of the ordinance from which this chapter was derived. Suitably sealed diking capable of holding a leakage capacity equal to 115% of the tank capacity shall be required around these tanks. Any existing storage tank that, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, constitutes a hazard to the public safety, shall discontinue operations within 90 days following notification by the Zoning Administrator.
