In order to permit a wide range of uses and provide for creativity and flexibility for developers and the City, while still preserving the character and identity of Davison, the following performance standards apply to all uses within the C-3 General Commercial:
(a) All outdoor lighting shall be limited to twenty (20) feet in height and further subject to the provisions of Section 1288.26, excepting that when not open for business operation, lighting levels should be reduced, or dimmed by a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%).
(b) Dumpster unloading, parking lot cleaning, and similar building or site maintenance shall not take place before 7:00 a.m. nor after 10:00 p.m., excepting that snow plowing is permitted during all hours.
(c) No use is permitted which creates a noise level greater than which is allowed in Section 1288.27 when measured from the nearest residential property line. The Planning Commission may require details of operation and a map showing the areas affected by potential noise.
(d) No use is permitted which emits smoke, soot or noxious fumes or odors excepting smoke or odors which are typically associated with restaurants and food service establishments.
(e) Emergency road and utility repairs, road cleaning, snow plowing and other such similar work conducted by the City and/or its agents operated within the road or road right-of-way shall be exempt from these standards. Additionally, sirens used by public safety agencies are exempt as well.
(f) Any use that evolves into a nuisance, resulting in police, fire or other such calls that exceeds by fifty percent (50%) similar uses in the City, the property owner/operator shall be issued a notice of violation and a public hearing will be scheduled. The purpose of the public hearing is to establish a timeframe and plan for improvement. If improvement is not made, a civil infraction shall be issued.
