12.01.4 Permitted signs. See article 19.

12.01.5 General guidelines in considering approval of an industrial use. In approving any industrial uses the governing body will be guided by the following guidelines:

1.

Any use which emits odors, gas, or dust which are unpleasant, obnoxious, or injurious to health, will be required to design and construct necessary buildings, enclosures, filtering systems, or other facilities necessary for eliminating or reducing the intensity or concentration of such odors and/or dust to a level which will not be detrimental to the particular use. In determining what is "detrimental" inspection of similar facilities operating in other locations with particular attention to the appearance and condition of adjacent residential areas will assist the governing body in making a determination. A statement from the appropriate state agencies regulating such emission will be required before a permit is issued by the city. If the proposed use requires state approval, no permits will be issued by the city, until such state approval are granted. Study of court decisions involving cases where damage has been claimed by residents living near such odor or dust emitting plants may be used as an instrument to interpret this paragraph.

2.

Proper provision must be made for storage of raw materials and wastes to prevent unsanitary conditions of the breeding of flies, insects, and rodents. A safeguard against such conditions may be the requirement to store such materials in tight buildings or bins or in accordance with state regulations.

3.

If the industrial operation required above ground storage of explosive materials, the industry may be required to acquire sufficient land are a surrounding the plant to minimize danger to people and property adjacent to the industry. A similar requirement may be established for an industry engaging in an activity which creates noise or vibrations.

4.

These city standards are in addition to state and federal laws and standards applicable to each particular industrial use.
