Analysis
This ordinance amends the zoning code definition of “heavy manufacturing” such that the following are no longer included in this term:
a. Chemical manufacturing.
b. Stonework or concrete product manufacturing.
c. Fabrication of metal products.
d. Manufacturing of agricultural, construction or mining machinery.
e. Motor vehicle manufacturing.
f. Lumber milling.
g. Ship or boat construction.
h. Permanent concrete/batch plant.
The ordinance also amends the definition of “light manufacturing” to require that a light manufacturing establishment meet the following standards; failure to meet any one of these standards shall result in the establishment being classified as heavy manufacturing:
a. Smoke, exhaust, glare, dust and airborne particulates shall be internally-remediated.
b. Noise, sounds and vibrations shall not be evident beyond the walls of the establishment.
c. Motor vehicle operating areas shall have sufficient turning-motion areas that are contained entirely on-site.
