Two Industrial Districts are provided to accommodate a range of manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and wholesaling uses that are compatible with the suburban residential character of the Village. In limited locations remote from the residential areas of the Village more generalized uses are permitted, subject to strict use limitations designed to prevent or minimize nuisance-type impacts.

The I-1 Restricted Industrial District is intended to provide adequate space for high quality, nuisance-free manufacturing, transportation, warehousing and wholesaling uses that are compatible with a variety of office and service uses. It is the goal of the regulations that no use within the I-1 District shall have any direct or indirect adverse aesthetic, environmental, or economic impact on any other use either within or outside the District.

The I-2 Light Industrial District is intended to provide for more generalized industrial operations and waste management facilities in proximity to the collector transportation system. Permitted and special permit uses are more intensive than those allowed in the I-1 District but can be accommodated within the Village if they are so located and regulated as to avoid adverse impacts on the residential uses and less intense nonresidential uses that define the essential character of the Village.

Permitted uses in the industrial districts are listed in Appendix A and are designated with a 'P'.

Special permit uses in the industrial districts are listed in Appendix A and are designated with an 'S'.

The environmental standards set forth herein shall govern the establishment and operation of uses within the I-1 and I-2 districts. The Board of Trustees may require that uses provide a certificate from a scientific testing laboratory certifying ongoing compliance with the environmental standards of this Zoning Ordinance. The cost of employing a testing laboratory will be the sole and absolute responsibility of the property owner or applicant.

A.

Noise Regulations. The sound intensity of any individual operation or plant in an industrial district (other than the operation of motor vehicles or other transportation vehicles) shall not exceed the decibel levels in the designated octave bands as follows:

MAXIMUM PERMITTED SOUND LEVEL (DECIBELS)

B.

Smoke and Particulate Matter Regulations.

1.

The emission of smoke or particulate matter in such manner or quantity as to endanger or be detrimental to public health, safety, comfort, or welfare, is hereby declared to be a public nuisance. If any use established prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, and by the terms hereof made nonconforming, shall be altered or modified, it shall then be required to conform with the performance standards governing smoke and particulate matter herein established.

2.

For the purpose of grading the density of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart, published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be employed. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density greater than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited at all time except as otherwise provided herein.

3.

The emission, from all sources within any lot area, of particulate matter containing more than ten percent (10%) by weight of particles having a particulate diameter larger than forty-four (44) microns is prohibited. Dust and other types of air pollution, borne by the wind from such sources as storage areas, yards, roads, and the like within lot boundaries, shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling, fencing, or other acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources in excess of the weight limitation herein specified is hereby prohibited.

4.

The emission of more than one hundred (100) smoke units per hour per stack is prohibited, including smoke of a density in excess of Ringelmann No. 2. However, during one (1) one-hour period in each day, each stack may emit up to two hundred (200) smoke units when blowing soot or cleaning fires. Only during fire-cleaning periods, however, shall smoke of Ringelmann No. 3 be permitted, and then for not more than four (4) minutes.

5.

The rate of emission of particulate matter from all sources within the boundaries of any lot shall not exceed a net figure of one (1) pound per acre of lot area during any one (1) hour, after deducting from the gross hourly emission per acre the correction factors set forth in the following tables for height, velocity, and temperature of emission, respectively. Determination of the total net rate of emission of particulate matter within the boundaries of any lot shall be made as follows:

(a)

Determine the maximum emission in pounds per hour from each source of emission and divide this figure by the number of acres of lot area, thereby obtaining the gross hourly rate of emission in pounds per acre.

(b)

From each gross hourly rate of emission, deduct the appropriate correction factor (interpolating as required) for heights, velocity, and temperature of emission set forth in tables below, thereby obtaining the net rate of emission from all sources of emission within the boundaries of the lot. Such total shall not exceed one pound per acre of lot area during any one hour.

ALLOWANCE FOR HEIGHT OF EMISSION
(Interpolate for intermediate value not shown in table)

ALLOWANCE FOR VELOCITY OF EMISSION
(Interpolate for intermediate value not shown in table.)

ALLOWANCE FOR TEMPERATURES OF EMISSION
(Interpolate for intermediate value not shown in table.)

C.

Odors; Toxic or Noxious Matter.

1.

Odors. The emission of odorous matter in such quantities as to be readily detectable at any point along lot lines or which is, harmful or injurious to the public health, comfort, or welfare, is prohibited.

2.

Toxic or Noxious Matter. No use shall for any period of time discharge, across the boundaries of the lot wherein it is located, toxic or noxious matter in such concentrations as to be detrimental to or endanger the public welfare, safety, comfort, or cause injury or damage to property or business.

D.

Fire and Explosion Hazards.

1.

The storage, utilization, or manufacture of materials or products ranging from incombustible to moderate-burning, as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission, in accordance with generally accepted standards, is permitted, subject to compliance with all other performance standards for the Industrial district, and provided the following conditions are met:

(a)

Said materials or products shall be stored, utilized, or produced within completely enclosed structure having fire-resistive construction in accordance with the requirements of the Village-adopted building code.

(b)

All such structures shall be set back at least forty (40) feet from lot lines, or, in lieu thereof, all such structures shall be protected throughout by an automatic sprinkler system (or a carbon dioxide system of equal protection) complying with installation standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association.

2.

Manufacturing or processing of materials or products which produce flammable or explosive vapors or gases at ordinary weather temperatures shall not be permitted, except when such materials are used in secondary processes or are required in emergency or standby equipment, but their storage for use as power or heating fuels shall be permitted if in conformity with standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association and with applicable requirements embodied in the regulations promulgated by the State of Illinois Office of State Fire Marshal.

3.

If any use established prior to the effective date of this Ordinance shall be altered or modified, it shall then be required to conform to the performance standards governing fire and explosive hazards as herein established.

E.

Vibration Regulations.

1.

Any operation or activity shall not cause earth-borne vibrations in excess of the values set forth in the table below. Column I shall apply at or beyond the lot line; Column II shall apply at or beyond a residence district boundary line. Vibration shall be expressed as displacement in inches and shall be measured with a three-component measuring system.

2.

Impact vibrations, that is, discrete pulses that do not exceed one hundred (100) impulses per minute, shall not cause in excess of twice the displacement values above.

3.

If any use established prior to the effective date of this Ordinance shall be altered or modified, it shall then be required to conform to the performance standards governing vibrations established herein. Any use or portion thereof creating intense earth-shaking vibrations such as are caused by heavy drop forges, or heavy hydraulic surges, shall be set back at least five hundred (500) feet from the lot lines on all sides.

F.

Glare or Heat Regulations.

1.

Any operation producing intense glare or heat shall be performed within a completely enclosed building in such manner as not to create a public nuisance or hazard along lot lines. Exposed sources of light, originating from within a building, shall be controlled so that direct or indirect illumination from any source within the lot line shall not cause illumination in excess of three (3) foot candles in residential areas.

2.

If any use established prior to the effective date of this Ordinance shall be altered or modified, it shall then be required to conform to the performance standards governing glare or heat as herein established.

G.

Registration of Pollutants. It shall be unlawful for any person to install, erect, construct, reconstruct, alter or add to, or cause to be installed, erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, or added to, any fuel burning, combustion or process equipment or device or any equipment pertaining thereto, or any stack or chimney connected therewith, within the Village, excepting domestic heating plants, domestic refuse-burning equipment, locomotives and internal combustion engines, until there has been filed in duplicate by the owner, contractor, installer, or other person, or his agent, with the Village Clerk, a petition for a permit accompanied by a complete listing of emissions into the atmosphere that result from the operation of the aforesaid equipment or process, both as to kind and quantity, and, in addition thereto, a listing of the type and capacity of the equipment used for the collections, absorptions, or suppression of each and an estimate of its efficiency, and until a permit therefore has been granted by the corporate authorities of the Village. Said submitted register of pollutants shall be accompanied by an affidavit of a qualified person stating that it is complete and correct and that the proper operation of the plant or process as designed will not result in any violation of this Zoning Ordinance.

See Article X for common regulations applicable in all districts.
