(A) Purposes. In addition to the objectives prescribed in § 156.002 of this chapter, the MC Coastal Dependent Industrial Districts are included in the zoning regulations to achieve the following purposes:
(1) To reserve and protect parcels adjacent to the sea for coastal-dependent and coastal-related uses;
(2) To provide for coastal-dependent energy and industrial uses;
(3) To provide development standards which will ensure that potential environmental damage will be avoided, minimized, or mitigated;
(4) To protect areas appropriate for industrial uses from intrusion by dwellings and other inharmonious uses;
(5) To protect residential and commercial properties and to protect nuisance-free, nonhazardous industrial uses from noise, odor, insect nuisance, dust, dirt, smoke, vibration, heat and cold, glare, truck and rail traffic, and other objectionable influences, and from fire, explosion, noxious fumes, radiation, and other hazards incidental to certain industrial uses;
(6) To provide opportunities for certain types of industrial plants to concentrate in mutually beneficial relationships to each other;
(7) To provide adequate space to meet the needs of modern industrial developments, including off-street parking and truck loading areas and landscaping;
(8) To provide sufficient open space around industrial structures to protect them from the hazard of fire and to minimize the impact of industrial plants on nearby residential and agricultural districts; and,
(9) To minimize traffic congestion and to avoid the overloading of utilities by preventing the construction of buildings of excessive size in relation to the amount of land around them.

(B) Required conditions.
(2) In an MC District, no use shall be permitted which emits any air pollutant detectable by the human senses without the aid of instruments beyond the boundaries of the MC District or any adjoining MG District;
(3) No use shall be permitted which creates any emission which endangers human health, can cause damage to animals, vegetation, or other property, or which can cause soiling at any point beyond the boundaries of the site;
(4) No use shall be permitted which creates annoying odor in such quantities as to be readily detectable beyond the boundaries of the M District when diluted in the ratio of one volume of odorous air to four volumes of clean air;
(5) No use, except a temporary construction operation, shall be permitted which creates vibration, changes in temperature, direct or sky reflected glare, or electrical disturbances detectable by the human senses without the aid of instruments beyond the boundaries of the site. No use shall be permitted which creates electrical disturbances that affect the operation of any equipment beyond the boundaries of the site;
(6) In an MC District, no use, except a temporary construction operation, shall be permitted which creates at any R District boundary, noise of a maximum sound pressure level greater than the values given in the following table:
Octave Band (Cycles per Second) | Maximum Permitted Sound Pressure Level (Decibels) |
Below 75 | 72 |
75 - 149 | 67 |
150 - 299 | 59 |
300 - 599 | 52 |
600 - 1,199 | 46 |
1,200 - 2,399 | 40 |
2,400 - 4,799 | 34 |
4,800 and above | 32 |
(7) No use shall be permitted which emits dangerous radioactivity; and
(8) No use shall be permitted which creates insect nuisance beyond the boundaries of the site.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29151)
(C) Permitted uses. The following uses shall be permitted:
(1) Boat repair and ship building;
(2) Commercial fishing facilities;
(3) Docks, piers and wharves;
(4) Marine services;
(5) Marine oil terminals;
(7) OCS service bases and offshore pipelines;
(8) Seafood processing;
(9) Water borne carrier import and export facilities; and
(‘63 Code, § 10-5.29152)
(10) Wireless telecommunication facilities located more than 100 feet from an R District subject to a wireless telecommunication facility permit pursuant to Chapter 159.
(D) Conditional uses.
(a) Access support facilities;
(b) Boat launching and berthing facilities;
(c) Electrical generating or other facilities which require intake, outfalls, or pipelines;
(d) Fish waste processing plants;
(e) Fishing piers;
(f) Ice and cold storage facilities;
(g) OCS oil and/or gas processing and treatment facilities;
(h) Oil and gas pipelines;
(i) Onshore petroleum production;
(j) Outfalls;
(k) Warehouses serving permitted uses;
(l) Commercial uses incidental to the primary coastal dependent industrial use (within the Core Coastal-Dependent Industrial Area); and
(m) Wireless telecommunication facilities located within 100 feet of an R District subject to the provisions of
Chapter 159
.
(2) Existing developed parcels in existence as of January 1, 1984 of less than one acre located in a coastal-dependent industrial district shall be allowed to be developed with coastal-related or general industrial uses if they are not proposed for consolidation with other parcels to permit a new or expanded coastal-dependent industrial use and are not adjacent to the shoreline.
