(A) The guiding of urban development so as to develop a compatible relationship of uses depends upon certain standards being maintained.
(B) Uses permitted in the various district, conditional uses, uses permitted with restrictions and accessory uses shall conform to the following standards.
(1) Nuisance standards.
(a) Noise. Any use established shall be so operated that no undue noise resulting from said use is perceptible beyond the boundaries of the property on which such use is located. This standard shall not apply to incidental traffic, parking, loading, construction, farming or maintenance operations. Noise standards shall be in compliance with the state’s Pollution Control Agency standards.
(b) Vibration. Any use creating periodic earth shaking vibrations shall be prohibited if such vibrations are perceptible beyond boundaries of the property on which the use is located. The standards shall not apply to vibrations created during the process of construction of the building or parking areas.
(c) Glare and heat. Any use requiring an operation producing an intense heat or light transmission shall be performed with the necessary shielding to prevent such heat or light from being detectable at the lot line of the site in which the use is located. Lighting in all instances shall be diffused or directed away from the residential districts and public streets.
(d) Smoke and particulate matter. Any use established, enlarged or remodeled after the effective date of this chapter shall be so operated as to control the emission of smoke or particulate matter to the degree that it is not detrimental to or shall endanger the public health, safety or general welfare of the public. Any use shall be so operated as to meet the minimum requirements of the state’s Pollution Control Agency standards.
(e) Odors. Any use established, enlarged or remodeled shall be so operated as to prevent the emission of odorous matter of such quality as to be readily detectable at any point beyond the lot line of the site on which such use is located. The emission of odor by any use shall be in compliance with and regulated by the state’s Pollution Control Agency standards.
(f) Toxic or noxious matter. Any use established shall be so operated as not to discharge across the boundaries of the lot or through percolation into the subsoil beyond the boundaries of the lot wherein such use is located toxic or noxious matter in such concentrations as to be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or welfare, or cause injury or damage to property or business.
(2) Hazard standards.
(a) Explosives. Any use requiring the storage, utilization or manufacturing of products which could decompose by detonation shall be located not less than 400 feet from any residential district and shall require a conditional use permit. All uses must have a certificate of compliance from the state’s Fire Marshal office as well as the Pollution Control Agency. This section shall not apply to the storage or usage of liquid petroleum or natural gas for normal residential or business purposes.
(b) Radiation emissions. All activities that emit radioactivity shall comply with the minimum requirements in the state’s pollution standards.
(c) Electrical emissions. There shall be no electrical disturbance adversely affecting the operation of any equipment, including, but not limited to, radio and television reception, other than that of the creator of the disturbance.
(d) Toxic material. Any use shall not discharge toxic matter into the atmosphere, water or subsoil.
(3) Drainage standards. No land shall be developed and no use shall be permitted that result in water run-off causing flooding or erosion on adjacent properties. Such run-off shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse, ponding area or other suitable facility.
