§ 154.105 JUNK YARDS, AUTOMOBILE SALVAGE OR WRECKING YARDS, WASTE OR SCRAP RECYCLING OPERATIONS AND REFUSE TRANSFER FACILITIES.
   These uses may be permitted in the I Industrial Districts subject to the following special land use approval requirements. (Junkyards may also be subject to additional local licensing requirements by separate ordinance.) In cases where there are conflicting requirements, the most restrictive requirements shall govern.
   (A)   These uses may only be located upon a site where abutting lands are zoned for nonresidential purposes on all sides.
   (B)   All parking shall be provided as off-street parking within the boundaries of the development.
   (C)   Any required front yard setback shall not be used for providing off-street parking, but must be landscaped.
   (D)   All sides of the development shall be screened with an un-pierced fence or wall at least eight feet in height and not less than the height of the materials on the lot on which a stated use is located.
   (E)   The above required fence or wall shall be no closer to the lot lines than the yard requirements for buildings or structures permitted in the district.
   (F)   All junk, waste or scrap materials shall be exclusively contained behind the fence or wall.
   (G)   All roads, driveways, parking lots and loading and unloading areas within the use shall be paved, oiled, watered or chemically treated so as to limit the nuisance caused by wind-borne dust to adjoining property and public roads.
   (H)   In order to protect the community from the danger of the leaching or runoff of chemicals or substances into the groundwater or surface water, these uses shall not be located upon lands classified as “wetlands” as defined on the national wetland inventory map or upon a determination by the MDEQ, nor upon lands lying within the 100-year floodplain, as defined on the federal flood insurance rate map, or federal flood hazard boundary map.
