for New Construction.

A. Intent. The purpose of this section is to reduce the potential negative impacts of expanding
industrial activities to the residents within adjoining Residential Districts by establishing
heightened screening and site development standards for new and expanded projects.

B. Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to construction and/or activities
within 200 feet from the edge of a Residential District. The requirements of this section do
not apply to industrial parcels that are separated from a Residential District by either an
active mainline railroad right-of-way or Interstate 880.

C. Development Requirements. Notwithstanding the minimum yard and landscape
requirements for property within the IG, IL, IP, and IT Districts, the following additional
development standards shall apply:

1. Orientation of Truck and Storage Facilities. The sound, traffic and visual impacts of
truck facilities, such as new or expanded truck bays and docks, and truck staging/
storage yards, shall be minimized by such design features as building placement,
sound walls, and/or landscaping. Truck facilities shall be oriented and/or screened as
to provide the greatest possible physical and/or visual separation between the truck
facility and the residences.

a. Certain New Facilities Require Site Plan Approval. Per Subsection B.4.d of
Section 5.12.104 Applicability, the creation of, or addition to, any substantial
outdoor storage area or truck loading bays that would be visible from off-site
require Site Plan Approval as prescribed in Chapter 5.12 Site Plan Approval.

2. Required Installation of Mitigating Features for New Truck Docks. When new truck
docks are built, or unused truck docks that have been "glassed in" by previous tenants/
users are to be newly used, the following mitigating features are to be installed, and
shall be made a requirement of Building Permit approval:

a. Rubber Loading Bay Bumpers shall be installed on all new and newly used truck
dock bays.

b. Notification signage, advising employees and truck operators that the subject
establishment is adjacent to residences, and that as a courtesy to neighbors, noise
from shipping and trucking activity should be kept to a minimum, shall be
placed in the truck staging area.

3. Attenuation of Noise Generating Equipment. Noise generating equipment, such as generators, HVAC units, and garbage facilities, shall be located and/or structurally screened, or enclosed, as to minimize impacts on adjacent residents. Prior to issuance of a building permit or electrical permit for the installation of such equipment, the Zoning Enforcement Official may require that the applicant/owner provide a noise study by an acoustical engineer and may impose conditions to reduce noise impacts. a. Adjustments to Attenuation Requirements for Emergency Generators. The Zoning Enforcement Official, in reviewing a request for a building or electrical permit for the installation of an emergency generator (such as one to be used during temporary power outages or in similar limited use situations), may adjust or reduce the requirements for noise attenuation to correspond to the duration, frequency or intensity that the generator is to operate. 4. Required Separation/Mitigation Adjacent to Residential Parcel. Either a landscaped buffer and/or a masonry wall shall be provided along rear and side property lines, which are adjacent to residential parcels, as required as part of an approved Site Plan per Chapter 5.12 Site Plan Approval. a. Option of Yard Setback. In cases where a building would otherwise be permitted with no rear or side yard setback, a minimum side and/or rear yard of 10 feet shall be provided, which shall be used exclusively for the planting of a landscape screen. Evergreen trees with spacing not to exceed 20 feet, and of a minimum 15 gallon size, shall be provided within the required yard. Tree selection shall provide for a near total screen, up to a height of 20 feet within five years from planting. Such landscaping shall be permanently maintained.

b. Option of Masonry Wall. A minimum eight foot high wall shall be provided adjacent to residential parcels, as required by Section 4.04.224 Walls Adjoining Residential Use, or as high as required by acoustical analysis (to be provided by applicant), when a vacant industrial parcel is developed or an existing use is expanded so as to significantly increase the potential for additional traffic and/ or noise impacts to the residential areas. A wall will typically be required whenever an active service, staging and/or storage yard is immediately adjacent to a residential parcel. (Ord. 2001-015 § 1; Ord. 2016-012 § 4; Ord. 2020-002 § 4)

A. Intent. The purpose of this section is to reduce the potential noise impacts to the residents within adjoining Residential Districts, from late night/early morning activity, by establishing performance standards for all businesses.

B. Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to activities within 200 feet from the
edge of a Residential District. The requirements of this section do not apply to industrial
parcels that are separated from a Residential District by either an active mainline railroad
right-of-way or Interstate 880.

C. Performance Standards for Loading and Shipping Activity. To reduce impacts on ad-
joining residents, those uses conducting loading and shipping activity between the hours of
10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. shall avoid generating extraneous noise that can be heard by
adjoining residents (e.g., loud conversations, playing of recorded music and/or radio
broadcasts, or motorized noises from prolonged use of equipment or vehicles).

D. Adjoining Residents May File Complaint Against Industrial Businesses. Residents may file
a written complaint against businesses that are alleged to be in violation of the performance
standards outlined in Subsection C, above. Violations of the performance standards of this
section are subject to the provisions of Chapter 5.24 Enforcement.

structures and sites that are nonconforming to the development standards of this
Code, as determined by the Zoning Enforcement Official. Such structural
upgrades include, but are not limited to, the extensive demolition and
reconstruction of exterior walls or the relocation of a significant portion of the
building's structural interior walls.
