(A) Review. Before the use or ownership of an industrial property can be changed or altered, the use of the property in accordance with the requirements of this chapter must be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the Town Council. The Planning Commission shall also review any regulations concerning grade changes between property lines.
(B) Drainage. The developer shall present a drainage plan for the entire development. The plan may be for the development as a whole or on a lot-by-lot basis. The drainage plan shall be approved by the Town Engineer.
(C) Landscaping. The developer shall present a landscaping plan for review. Landscaping shall cover the lesser of 2.5% of the total area of each lot or 5,000 square feet.
(D) Garbage storage. Garbage shall be stored in appropriate containers to the rear of the building or in an enclosure. Exceptions may be allowed upon approval by the Planning Commission and Town Council.
(E) Walls and fences.
(1) There shall be a fence surrounding the property unless the developer or owner can show that there are no health, safety, or aesthetic concerns with the proposed use. If the property borders a residential zone, there shall be a minimum of six feet of privacy fencing separating the industrial property and adjoining residential zones. This fence shall be erected by the developer of the most recently approved zone.
(2) This requirement may be waived if it can be shown by the developer or owner of the property that the use presents no health, safety, or aesthetic concerns for the residential use.
