The purpose of the Exclusive Use Zone for Landfills is to reclassify landfill activities from particular industrial zones to an exclusive use zone intended to:
(A) Protect public health by preventing water pollution, rodent infestation, air pollution or other health hazards as would occur as a result of improper location, design or operation of a landfill;
(B) Protect public safety by requiring proper design of access streets to accommodate the heavy equipment necessary for collection, transportation and disposal of solid wastes;
(C) Improve compatibility with adjacent uses by requiring adequate screening and setbacks, regular policing of access roads and heavily traveled routes to the site and careful review of subsequent uses allowed on the landfill site; and
(D) Promote public welfare by providing a suitable location for the disposal of the solid wastes generated by the community.
