§ 14.06.251 General description.
The purpose of the I-L, light industrial district, is to provide a location for industries which do not by their nature create nuisances. The intent is to preserve this land for industry in a location beneficial to industries and to prohibit non-industrial uses. Because of the traffic generated and other potentially objectionable influences created in this district, a buffer or setback area between this district and any other zoning district except I-H is required.
(1977 Code, sec.12-94; 2004 Code, sec. 14.271)
§ 14.06.252 Standards.
(a)
Any use constructed, established, altered, or enlarged in the I-L, light industrial district, after the effective date of this chapter shall be so operated as to comply with the following standards:
(1)
No building shall be used for residential purposes, except that a watchman may reside on the premises.
(2)
No retail sales or services shall be permitted except as incidental to or accessory to a permitted use.
(3)
No operation or activity shall cause or create noise in excess of the sound levels prescribed below.
(b)
In the I-L district, at no point on or beyond the boundary of any lot shall the sound pressure level resulting from any use, operation, or activity exceed the maximum permitted decibel levels for the designated octave bands as set forth in tables I and II below.
(1)

4,800-10 KC | 34 |
(3)
Method of measurement.
For the purpose of measuring the intensity and frequency of sound, the sound level meter, the octave band analyzer, and the impact noise analyzer shall be employed. The flat network and the fast meter response of the sound level meter shall be used. Sounds of short duration as from forge hammers, punch presses, and metal shears which cannot be measured accurately with the sound level meter shall be measured with the impact noise analyzer.
(A)
Octave band analyzers calibrated in the preferred frequencies (American Standards Association S1.6-1960, Preferred Frequencies for Acoustical Measurements) shall be used with table I. Octave band analyzers calibrated with pre-1960 octave band (American Standards Association Z24.10-1964, Octave Band Filter Set) shall use table II.
(B)
For impact sounds measured with the impact noise analyzer, the sound pressure levels set forth in tables I and II may be increased by six decibels in each octave band.
(4)
Exemptions.
The following uses and activities shall be exempt from the noise level regulations:
(A)
Noises not directly under control of the property user.
(B)
Noises emanating from construction and maintenance activities between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
(C)
The noises of safety signals, warning devices, and emergency pressure relief valves.
(D)

(2)
Maximum permissible displacements.
The following formula shall be used in computing the maximum displacements permitted in the I-L district:
D = | K | |
F |
Where: | ||
D | = | Displacement in inches |
K | = | .01 |
F | = | The frequency of the vibration transmitted through the ground in cycles per second. |

(2)
Where multiple land use is proposed, a land use plan which delineates the specific areas to be devoted to each particular type of use is required.
(3)
Where building complexes are proposed and such buildings are not to be placed upon individual lots, a site plan, showing the approximate location of each building and the minimum distance between buildings and the property line, street line, and/or alley line, is required. Where buildings greater than one story in height, except single-family dwellings, are proposed, elevations and/or perspective drawings are required in order that the relationship of the buildings to adjacent properties and uses may be determined. Such drawings need only indicate the height, number of stories, exposure where access, light and air are proposed, and the type of construction.
(4)
A plan must be submitted to the city council indicating the arrangement of off-street parking and off-street loading, where such is required. Such a plan may be presented as a ratio of off-street parking and off-street loading to building area, when accompanied by a typical example indicating the feasibility of the arrangement are [and] dimensioned on the drawing of the entire site. Any specific traffic regulation and facilities proposed or required to assure the safe function of the circulation plan must be shown.
(5)
A designation of the maximum building coverage of the site must be indicated upon the site plan.
(6)
Screening and landscaping plans are required where such treatment is essential to the proper arrangement of the development in relation to adjacent property. Such plan must, when required and appropriate, include screening walls, ornamental planting, playgrounds, wooded areas to be retained, lawns and gardens such as are determined to be necessary by the city council.
(7)
The location of all on-site facilities for liquid and solid waste disposal must be indicated upon the site plan.
(8)
The site plan shall also show the following items of information:
(A)
The location and width of all curb cuts and driving lanes;
(B)
The dimensions and capacities of parking areas and loading areas, and the character and location of illumination facilities for same;
(C)
All pedestrian walks, malls and open areas for use by tenants or the public;
(D)
The location, size, height and orientation of all signs other than signs flat on building facades;
(E)
The types of surfacing, such as paving, turfing or gravel, to be used at the various locations;
(F)
The location of fire hydrants;
(G)
Drainage plans and information as may be available to show that the development will not be adversely affected by flooding action.
(9)
Any or all of the required features may be incorporated on a single drawing, if such drawing is clear and capable of evaluation by the city council and interpretation by the city engineer, the city manager and the building inspector.

The plans required for a planned development district may from time to time be amended. When the changes proposed are minor in nature and the relationship of the elements of the project to adjacent property are not altered and the density, building spacing and other appropriate standards are not changed the alteration shall be considered an administrative change. Whenever the fundamental relationship of the project or any element thereof is proposed to be materially altered, the change shall be considered the same as an amendment to the zoning ordinance, sections 14.08.001 to 14.08.004.
