Before a building permit shall be issued or construction commenced on any acceptable use in the M-1 industrial district, a site plan in accordance with section 66-314 and in sufficient detail to show the operations and processes shall be submitted to the zoning administrator for study.

(b)

Where acceptable uses are within 300 feet of an R-1 or R-2 residential district or within 300 feet of an existing residence in any other district, they shall be conducted wholly within a completely enclosed building or within an area appropriately screened on the side facing the district, by a solid masonry wall, a uniformly painted solid wood fence or an evergreen hedge six feet in height. Public utilities requiring natural air circulation or other technical consideration necessary for proper operation may be exempt from this subsection. This exception does not include storing of any materials.

(c)

Landscaping is required within an established or required front setback area. The plans and execution must take into consideration traffic hazards.

(d)

Sufficient area shall be provided to adequately screen acceptable uses from adjacent business and residential districts and for off-street parking of vehicles incidental to the industry, its employees and clients.

(e)

The zoning administrator shall act on any application received within 20 days after receiving the application. Failure on the part of the zoning administrator to act on the application within the established time shall be deemed to constitute a basis for the applicant to apply to the planning commission for plan approval.

In the M-1 industrial district, buildings may be erected up to a height of 80 feet. For buildings over 80 feet in height, approval shall be obtained from the board of zoning appeals.

Parapet walls are permitted up to four feet above the limited height of the building on which the walls rest.

In the M-1 industrial district, no building shall be located or structurally altered nearer to the street or road on which it faces than 40 feet or more from any street or road right-of-way, which is over 50 feet or greater in width, or 65 feet or more from the centerline of any street or road right-of-way less than 50 feet in width. This shall be known as the setback line, provided no building shall be required to be set back from the street or road a distance greater than the setback line observed by the one or two existing buildings on the immediately adjoining lots on either side which is the further removed from the street or road.

In the M-1 industrial district, buildings or groups of buildings with their accessory buildings may cover up to 70 percent of the site. Any area not covered by buildings, pavement or designed for parking shall be landscaped and maintained.

For the M-1 industrial district, the purpose of site plan requirements is to promote the orderly development of industrial activities in the county and to ensure that such development is undertaken in a manner harmonious with surrounding properties and in the interest of the general public welfare. Such plans shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the developer and the Board of Supervisors or designees.
