Any person, firm, or corporation desiring to store or keep in the city for any period of time any form of poisonous or flammable gas or liquefied petroleum gas or add to, enlarge, or replace any facility used for the storage of such gases, must first get permission from the City Council. The City Council shall require the name of the gas, the place of storage, and the amount of gas stored. If permission is granted, the City Council shall prescribe such rules, regulations, and precautionary actions as they may deem necessary. Permit requirements for the initial construction or location of storage facilities shall not apply to those facilities in existence on the effective date of this section; provided, any such present use that is discontinued for a period of 60 days shall not be revived without a permit. Permit requirements shall also not apply to the storage of a maximum of five gallons of kerosene or a maximum of two gallons of gasoline when stored in residential buildings. Any flammable gas or liquid in excess of these amounts shall be stored only after permission has been granted by the City Council.
