(A) Residual features. No activity or operation shall be established or maintained which by reason of its nature or manner of operation will cause the emission of noise, odor, toxic or noxious fumes, smoke, dust and particulate matter in such concentrations as to be detrimental to or endanger the public health, welfare, comfort and safety or cause injury to property or business.
(B) Glare.
(1) Any lighting used to illuminate any off-street parking or sign shall be arranged so as to deflect light away from any adjoining residential property or from the public streets.
(2) Direct or sky-reflected glare, whether from floodlights or from high temperature processes such as combustion or welding, shall not be directed into any adjoining property.
(C) Explosives. No activities involving the storage, utilization or manufacture of materials, goods or products which could decompose by detonation shall be permitted except such as are specifically licensed by the City Council.
(D) Vibration. No activity or operation shall cause earth vibrations perceptible beyond the limits of the lot upon which the operation is located.
(E) Activity within enclosed buildings. All fabrication, manufacturing, processing or production shall be undertaken within completely enclosed buildings.
(F) Screening. Where outdoor storage of materials, goods and products exists within the industry district, such storage shall be effectively screened from adjacent residential districts and public streets by a solid fence, compact hedge or similar opaque landscaped element. Such screening shall not extend within 15 feet of any street or driveway. The screening shall be placed along property lines or, in the case of screening along a street, 15 feet from the street right-of-way or adjacent property line with landscaping between the screening and the pavement. A louvered fence shall be considered “solid” if it blocks vision.
(G) Refuse. All waste material, debris, refuse or garbage disposed of through the public sanitary sewerage system shall be kept in an enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container designed for such purpose. The owner of vacant land shall be responsible for keeping such land free of refuse.
(H) Landscaping. In all but the C-2 and I Zoning Districts, all developed uses shall provide a landscaped yard along all streets. Such yard shall be kept clear of all structures and storage except off-street parking. Such yard shall be at least eight feet in depth along all streets, measured from the street right-of- way. Except for driveways, the yard shall extend the entire frontage of the lot and along both streets in the case of a corner lot.
(I) Drainage. No land shall be developed and no use shall be permitted that results in water runoff, flooding or erosion on adjacent properties. Such runoff shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse, ponding area or other public facilities.
(J) Construction within floodplain. No structure shall be permitted on any land that is subject to flooding, except for park or recreation structures such as picnic tables, shelters and barbecue pits.
