In addition to single-family residential and agricultural uses, certain light commercial and industrial and substantially similar uses including uses in the healthcare, government, information, professional/office, transportation, and utilities use categories are considered to be appropriate for a rural area and as such may be allowed in the R2 district as listed in § 153.073(D) - Zoning District Table of Permitted Uses, provided the following conditions are met. These conditions do not apply to single-family residential and agricultural uses.
(A) Such uses may be associated with, but secondary to, a single-family residential use on the same property.
(B) Such uses must comply with conditions associated with the use, as provided in §§ 153.088 et seq. - Conditional Uses and any applicable performance or other requirement as provided in this chapter, in addition to the following conditions. Where requirements differ, the more restrictive requirement shall apply.
(C) If the single structure or combination of structures to be included in the proposed non-residential, non-agricultural use exceeds 3,000 square feet in gross floor area, it must be permitted by special exception as provided in § 153.137 - R2 Rural District Special Exceptions.
(D) Where permitted, such uses shall meet the following conditions:
(1) A buffer of at least 100 feet shall be required from adjoining property lines of existing single-family residential uses and adjacent residentially zoned properties. Such buffer shall comply with the applicable requirements for buffers provided in § 153.182. If a different buffer width is required for an individual use the larger buffer shall apply. For uses requiring a special exception permit, the Board of Zoning Appeals may require a larger buffer after finding that potential offsite impacts warrant the increase.
(2) Maneuvering of associated vehicles of any size must be accommodated by and occur on the associated property.
(3) No uncovered open storage of waste materials shall be permitted in public view.
(4) Any manufacturing process shall be completely contained inside the permitted structure(s).
(5) Performance standards. Such uses must comply with the following performance standards:
(c) Odor. There shall be no emission of odorous gases or other odorous matter in such quantities as to be offensive to a person of normal sensibilities at the property line or right-of-way.
(d) Vibration. A person may not cause or permit, beyond the property line of a source, vibration of sufficient intensity to cause another person to be aware of the vibration by such direct means as sensation of touch or visual observation of moving objects. The observer shall be located at or within the property line of the receiving property when vibration determinations are made.
(6) Exceptions to performance standards. The following are exempted from the performance requirements of this division.
(a) Any exemptions provided by other regulations cited in this chapter.
(b) Vibration emanating from construction activities between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. pursuant to a current building permit issued by Newberry County.
