For the purpose of promoting the health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens and the peace and dignity of the county, the County Commissioners hereby establish certain criteria relating to high impact land uses to accommodate those activities as identified and defined in this chapter. High impact land uses, by their very nature, create potential danger from explosions, produce objectionable levels of noise, odors, vibrations, fumes, light, unwanted glare, or smoke and have impacts upon the areas adjacent to them. These ordinance provisions are intended to allow for the placement and growth of high impact land uses while attempting to support the health, safety and general welfare standards of established residential and commercial areas in Ashe County.
