Article 3 — Industrial Districts

The performance standards set out in this article apply to all uses established within the CM, M-1 and M-2 zones. Determination of acceptable compliance shall be made by the Zoning Administrator. (Prior Code § 10-98.2)

Any activity, operation or device which causes, or tends to cause, the release of air contaminants into the atmosphere shall comply with the rules and regulations of the county air pollution control district.

(Prior Code § 10-98.2(a))

The odors released from any operation or activity shall not exceed detectable concentrations beyond lot lines, measured at any location on the lot lines. (Prior Code § 10-98.2(b))

The outdoor storage of materials susceptible to releasing wind-borne dust across lot lines is prohibited. All roads within a lot or parcel shall be hard-surface paved. Fugitive sources of dust shall be sealed or controlled to minimize or eliminate such dust release. (Prior Code § 10-98.2(c))

No discharge at any point into any public sewer, private sewerage disposal system or stream, or into the ground, of any materials of such nature or temperature as can contaminate any water supply, interfere with bacterial processes in sewerage treatment or otherwise cause the perpetuation, increase or dissemination of dangerous or offensive elements, shall be permitted, except in accord with standards approved by the California Department of Public Health or such other governmental agency as has jurisdiction of such activities. (Prior Code § 10-98.2(d))

Industrial uses shall comply with noise standards as adopted by the City. (Prior Code § 10-98.2(e))

• (a) No activity shall be permitted which causes light or glare to be transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities as to be detrimental or harmful to the use of surrounding properties or streets. Any operation or activity producing glare shall be conducted or shielded so as not to cause illumination in residential districts in excess of 0.5 footcandle. Flickering or intrinsically bright sources of illumination shall be controlled so as not to be a nuisance in residential districts.

• (b) Illumination levels shall be measured with a photoelectron photometer having a spectral response similar to that of the human eye, following the standard spectral luminous efficiency curve adopted by the International Commission of Illumination.

• (Prior Code § 10-98.2(f))

The use or storage of flammable or explosive materials shall at all times comply with the fire prevention Code adopted by the City, and all other applicable ordinances and regulations. (Prior Code § 10-98.2(g))

No activities shall be permitted which release fissionable or radioactive material into the atmosphere, the ground or sewerage systems, and no activity shall be permitted which emits electrical disturbance affecting the operation at any point of any equipment other than that of the creator of such disturbance.

(Prior Code § 10-98.2(h))

The type and volume of vehicular traffic ingressing or egressing the proposed uses may be evaluated by the Zoning Administrator. Such determination may be used to distinguish the acceptability/unacceptability of certain uses in certain industrial zones. (Prior Code § 10-98.2(i))
