§ 3.06.00. Performance Standards Governing Waste and Emissions.

3.06.01 General Provisions All uses shall conform to the standards of performance described in this Section and shall be constructed, maintained, and operated so as not to be injurious or offensive to the occupants of adjacent premises by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other particulate matter, toxic or noxious waste materials, odors, fire, and explosive hazard or glare. Within 100 feet of a residential district, all processes and storage, except for vehicle parking, shall be in completely closed buildings. Processes and storage located at a greater distance shall be effectively screened by a solid wall or fence at least six feet in height. Where other ordinances or regulations (whether federal, state, or local) that may be adopted hereinafter impose greater restrictions than those specified herein, compliance with such other ordinances and regulations is mandatory.

3.06.02 Specific Standards

3.06.02.01 Vibration Every use shall be so operated that ground vibration inherently and recurrently generated is not perceptible, without instruments, at any point on the property line of the property on which the use is located. No vibration at any time shall produce an acceleration of more than 0.1g or shall result in any combination of amplitudes and frequencies beyond the "safe" range of Table 7 U.S. Bureau of Mines Bulletin No. 442. The equations of such bulletin shall be used to determine the values of enforcement.

3.06.02.02 Smoke Every use shall be so operated as to prevent the emission of smoke, from any source whatever, to a density greater than described as Number 1 on the Ringlemann Smoke Chart; provided, however, that smoke equal to, but not in excess of, that shade of appearance described as Number 2 on the Ringlemann Chart may be emitted for a period or periods totaling four minutes in any 30 minutes. For the purpose of grading the density of smoke, the Ringlemann Chart as published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, and which is hereby made, by reference, shall be standard. All measurements shall be at the point of emission. Smoke emission must comply with applicable rules of the FDEP.

3.06.02.03 Noise No relative increase of 5 dBA or greater is allowed as determined by the existing noise background level.

3.06.02.04 Dust and Dirt Every use shall be so operated as to prevent the emission into the air of dust or other solid matter that may cause damage to property and health of persons or animals at or beyond the lot line of the property on which the use is located. Emissions must comply with applicable FDEP rules.

3.06.02.05 Industrial Sewage and Waste Every use shall be so operated as to prevent the discharge into any stream, lake, or the ground of any waste that will be dangerous or discomforting to persons or animals or that will damage plants or crops beyond the lot line of the property on which the use is located. Industries shall comply with applicable FDEP rules.

3.06.02.06 Hazardous Wastes The handling and discharge of all hazardous waste shall follow all applicable standards established by the County health department, State Legislature, and the U.S. Congress. Appropriate City officials shall review all procedures involving the handling and discharge of all hazardous waste to ensure that it does not create any safety or health problems.

3.06.02.07 Odors Every use shall be so operated as to prevent the emission of objectionable or offensive odors in such concentration as to be readily perceptible at any point at or beyond the lot line of the property on which the use is located. There is hereby established, as a guide in determining the quantities of offensive odors, table III, chapter 5, Air Pollution Abatement Manual of the Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc., Washington, D.C.

3.06.02.08 Glare Every use shall be so operated as to prevent the emission of glare of such intensity as to be readily perceptible at any point on the lot line of the property on which the use is located. Buffering may provide a means of meeting this standard.

3.06.02.09 Fumes, Vapors, and Gases There shall be no emission of fumes, vapors, or gases of a noxious, toxic, or corrosive nature that can cause any danger or irritation to health, animals, vegetation, or to any form of property.

3.06.02.10 Heat, Cold, Dampness, or Movement of Air Activities that shall produce any adverse effects on the temperature, motion, or humidity of the atmosphere beyond the lot line shall not be permitted.

3.06.02.11 Fire and Safety Hazard Each use shall be operated to minimize the danger from fire and explosion. The specific regulations to be met are set forth in the building code and the fire prevention code of the City.

3.06.02.12 Radioactive Emission There shall be no radiation emitted from radioactive materials or by-products exceeding a dangerous level of radioactive emissions at any point. Radiation limitations shall not exceed quantities established as safe by the U.S. Bureau of Standards.

3.06.02.13 Electromagnetic Radiation

(A)

Compliance with FCC Regulations. No person shall operate or cause to be operated, any planned or intentional source of electromagnetic radiation for such purposes as communication, experimentation, entertainment, broadcasting, heating, navigation, therapy, vehicle velocity measurement, weather survey, aircraft detection, topographical survey, personal pleasure, or any other use directly or indirectly associated with these purposes that does not comply with the current regulations of the Federal Communications Commission regarding such sources of electromagnetic radiation. Further, such operation in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission regulations shall be unlawful if such radiation causes an abnormal degradation in the performance of other electromagnetic receptors or radiators of quality and proper design because of proximity, primary field, blanketing, spurious re-radiation, conducted energy in power or telephone systems or harmonic content.

(B)

Evaluation of Performance. The determination of abnormal degradation in performance and of good quality and proper design shall be made in accordance with good engineering practices as defined in the principles and standards of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Institute of Radio Engineers, and the Radio Manufacturer's Association. In case of any conflict between the latest standards and principles of the above groups, the following precedence in the interpretation of the standards and principles shall apply:

(1)

American Institute of Electrical Engineers;

(2)

Institute of Radio Engineers;

(3)

Radio Manufacturer's Association.

Recognizing the special nature of many of the operations that may be conducted in connection with research and educational activities, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to operate or cause to be operated, to maintain or cause to be maintained, any planned or intentional source of electromagnetic energy, the radiated power from which exceeds 1,000 watts.
