Performance standard provisions of this Section must be applicable to any use
established in this zoning district in either of the following instances:
1. If any use, building or other structure, established prior to the effective
date of this Ordinance is extended, enlarged, moved, structurally
altered, or reconstructed, the change in building or land use or
configuration must be in full compliance with this provision. Uses
lawfully established prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, and not
being extended, enlarged, moved, structurally altered or reconstructed,
must fully comply with applicable industrial performance standards
existing at the time of use establishment or at the time of most recent
structural alteration.
2. Any use established, any building or structure constructed, or tract of
land developed for any permitted, special, or accessory use in this
zoning district must comply with all of the performance standards herein
set forth.
C. Procedure
Showing of Probable Compliance - Uses, buildings, or structures, required to
comply with this provision must make a showing of probable compliance with
these performance standards before undertaking the alteration. The showing
must be in the form of a letter submitted with the zoning application (or building
application if proper industrial zoning already exists), prepared by the City
Engineer, certifying that the use, building, or structure complies with all industrial
performance standard requirements. The letter must be based on the engineer's
personal scrutiny of the site and proposed use or alteration, and must have
analytical foundation in accepted engineering principles. In addition, the Planning
and Zoning Commission or the City Council may require the applicant to submit:
1. A plot plan showing the location of all present and proposed structures,
drives, parking lots, waste disposal areas, bulk storage areas, streets,
streams, or other significant features on or within 200 feet of the
proposed site.
2. A description of the activity to be conducted regarding waste products,
external effects, or other conditions that are regulated herein; provided
however, that the applicant may not be required to reveal any trade
secrets or sufficient detail with regard to a process that would cause any
secret process or manufacturing procedure for a closely guarded
proprietary compound or product to become public knowledge and be
available to competitors.
3. The type and location of abatement devices to control, or recording
instruments to measure conformance with required standards, not
including devices and instruments that are inherent in the manufacturing
process.
4. Such other data and certification that may reasonably be required by
the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Council to reach a
determination.
