(a)
Purpose. This District is intended to provide for a mix of light industrial, commercial, and office uses in areas of the community which not only possess characteristics suitable for business development but which also directly abut at least in part property zoned for medium or high density residential use. Uses permitted in this District shall be operated in a clean and quiet manner and are subject to additional performance standards required to protect adjacent property zoned for medium to high density residential use. Uses which may present problematic characteristics are administered as special uses.
(b)
Definition. For the purposes of this chapter only, the term "medium or high density residential use" shall mean property zoned either R-4, R-4B, R-5, R-6, R-7, or PR District on the City's Official Zoning Map.
(Case 253, 6-12-95; Ord. 95-O-803, Passed 6-12-95)

** This permitted use shall be considered as a Prohibited Use when located on any lot which directly abuts a property zoned for medium or high density residential use. See subsection (d) hereof, Prohibited Uses.
(b)
Accessory Uses.
(1)
An accessory use, building or other structure customarily incidental and secondary to any principal permitted use or use requiring special approval.
(2)
Temporary buildings for uses incidental to construction work, provided these buildings shall be removed upon the completion or abandonment of the construction work.
(c)
Special Uses. The following uses shall be considered as special uses when located on any lot which directly abuts a property zoned for medium or high density residential use:
(1)
Light manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging or treatment of goods, materials and products.
(2)
Public utility buildings and utility structures.
(3)
Garages for storage, repair and servicing of motor vehicles, including but not limited to body repair, painting, and engine rebuilding.

Expressly prohibited are salvage, wrecking or demolition or junk yard uses, the storage or compounding of large quantities of explosives, or the storage or production of large quantities of toxic/hazardous material or waste, asphalt or concrete mixing or batching plants, refining of metals or metal ores or petroleum products, or stockyards or slaughterhouses.
(6)
Warehouse/distribution facilities when located on any lot which directly abuts a property zoned for medium or high density residential use.
Commentary: This group of prohibited uses contains many uses which have potential for significant negative impact on any uses which would locate relatively close to them. This group differs from light industrial uses in that it includes uses that may require unclosed structures that are large, tall or unsightly. These uses also have the potential for generation of dust, dirt, noise, odor and unsightly conditions and may involve large amounts of exterior storage.
(Case 253, 6-12-95; Ord. 95-O-803, Passed 6-12-95)

(4)
No variance shall be granted by the City for any of the screening requirements set forth above with the following exception:
A variance from the screening requirement set forth in subsection (j)(2) hereof may be applied for if within the required setback for any yard directly abutting the residentially zoned property there exists an existing natural vegetative buffer/screen. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall not grant any such variance if the existing natural vegetative buffer/screen as might be supplemented by additional planting or mounding materials does not meet the same quality of screening as measured by height, opacity, and density as required under subsection (j)(2) hereof.

Such site plan shall graphically include the location and dimensions of vehicular entrances, exits, internal circulation pattern, off-street parking and loading facilities, lighting, and screening/landscaping. No site plan shall be approved unless it explicitly conforms with the EP District regulations/design standards set forth herein.
(r)
Determination of Compliance.
(1)
The Director of Public Service or his/her designee shall, prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy, determine in writing that the development complies in all aspects with the previously approved site plan including but not limited to the following design standards required whenever the proposed development abuts property zoned for medium or high density residential use:

D.
No wall signs shall be permitted on the side of a building which is located in any yard which directly abuts any property zoned for medium or high density residential use.
(2)
If owing to weather related reasons any required landscaping materials have not been planted, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued provided only, however, if the owner first posts a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit from a banking institution. After a bond or irrevocable letter of credit has been posted, the landscaping material required in the approved site plan shall be installed within three months of the posting of the bond or letter of credit. Foreclosure proceedings shall be brought against the performance bond or letter of credit if the required landscaping has not been installed by the end of the approved planting period.

In order to assess the risk for potential groundwater contamination, a hazard ranking has been developed for various activities categorized by their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. This ranking is based on the kind of materials commonly associated with each use looking only at the most critical hydrologic factors.
(d)
Table 1 below lists the site hazard potential by land use activity on a scale of one to nine, with one being a low hazard and nine a very high hazard. This rating is based on the intrinsic hazards posed by different land uses and is related to the materials commonly discharged.
(e)
Table 2 below lists the hazard potential determined on the basis of material known to be used, stored or disposed of at a specific site.
(f)
If the two tables referenced above indicate different site hazard potential ratings for the SIC-coded land use activity and the materials found on-site, the higher of the two scores is the rating for the site.

Purpose. This District is intended to provide for a mix of light industrial, commercial, and office uses in areas of the community which not only possess characteristics suitable for business development but which also directly abut at least in part property zoned for medium or high density residential use. Uses permitted in this District shall be operated in a clean and quiet manner and are subject to additional performance standards required to protect adjacent property zoned for medium to high density residential use. Uses which may present problematic characteristics are administered as special uses.
(b)
Definition. For the purposes of this chapter only, the term "medium or high density residential use" shall mean property zoned either R-4, R-4B, R-5, R-6, R-7, or PR District on the City's Official Zoning Map.

** This permitted use shall be considered as a Prohibited Use when located on any lot which directly abuts a property zoned for medium or high density residential use. See subsection (d) hereof, Prohibited Uses.
(b)
Accessory Uses.
(1)
An accessory use, building or other structure customarily incidental and secondary to any principal permitted use or use requiring special approval.
(2)
Temporary buildings for uses incidental to construction work, provided these buildings shall be removed upon the completion or abandonment of the construction work.
(c)
Special Uses. The following uses shall be considered as special uses when located on any lot which directly abuts a property zoned for medium or high density residential use:
(1)
Light manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging or treatment of goods, materials and products.
(2)
Public utility buildings and utility structures.
(3)
Garages for storage, repair and servicing of motor vehicles, including but not limited to body repair, painting, and engine rebuilding.

(6)
Warehouse/distribution facilities when located on any lot which directly abuts a property zoned for medium or high density residential use.
Commentary: This group of prohibited uses contains many uses which have potential for significant negative impact on any uses which would locate relatively close to them. This group differs from light industrial uses in that it includes uses that may require unclosed structures that are large, tall or unsightly. These uses also have the potential for generation of dust, dirt, noise, odor and unsightly conditions and may involve large amounts of exterior storage.
(Case 253, 6-12-95; Ord. 95-O-803, Passed 6-12-95)

No site plan shall be approved unless it explicitly conforms with the EP District regulations/design standards set forth herein.
(r)
Determination of Compliance.
(1)
The Director of Public Service or his/her designee shall, prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy, determine in writing that the development complies in all aspects with the previously approved site plan including but not limited to the following design standards required whenever the proposed development abuts property zoned for medium or high density residential use:

After a bond or irrevocable letter of credit has been posted, the landscaping material required in the approved site plan shall be installed within three months of the posting of the bond or letter of credit. Foreclosure proceedings shall be brought against the performance bond or letter of credit if the required landscaping has not been installed by the end of the approved planting period.

Table 1 below lists the site hazard potential by land use activity on a scale of one to nine, with one being a low hazard and nine a very high hazard. This rating is based on the intrinsic hazards posed by different land uses and is related to the materials commonly discharged.
(e)
Table 2 below lists the hazard potential determined on the basis of material known to be used, stored or disposed of at a specific site.
(f)
If the two tables referenced above indicate different site hazard potential ratings for the SIC-coded land use activity and the materials found on-site, the higher of the two scores is the rating for the site.
