All uses allowed in the Industrial (I) Zone shall conform to the performance standards of this section. The purpose of such standards is to permit potential industrial nuisances in a  measured, factually and objective manner and to ensure that all industrial uses  will provide methods to protect the community from hazards and nuisances which can be prevented by processes of control and nuisance elimination; and to protect industries from the arbitrary exclusion or persecution based solely on the nuisance production by any other type of industry. The performance standards are as follows:

1. Glare and heat. Any operation producing intense glare or heat shall be conducted within an enclosed building or with other effective screening in such a manner as to make such glare or heat completely imperceptible from any point along the property line.
2. Vibration. Industrial operations shall cause no inherent and recurring generated vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line. Transportation facilities or temporary construction are excluded from this restriction.
3. Smoke and particulate emissions. All vented air must meet federal, state and county regulations.
4. Odor emissions. No person, wherever located, shall cause or allow the  emission of odorous air, and or other air contaminants from any single source such as to result in detectable odors which are measured in excess of the following limits: For all areas, it is a violation when odors are detected after the odorous air has been diluted with one hundred (100) or more volumes of odor-free air.
5. Fugitive dust. Dust resulting from the site or processes of the industrial use must be prevented from traveling to adjacent properties, except during construction at which time ordinary dust suppression practices shall be used.
6. Hazardous materials. If the proposed uses of tenants of the project use and/or store hazardous materials (including hazardous wastes) on-site, the project shall be designed to comply with all fire and building codes for the hazardous materials release, using best available technology. A hazardous materials impacts analysis shall be required to determine potential off-site impacts and required mitigation precautions. All local, State, and Federal regulations of hazardous materials shall be followed in the construction and operation of all facilities.

In an effort to improve the environment for new businesses and to create compatibility between established business and new businesses, existing businesses and property owners are encouraged to upgrade their facilities (buildings, landscaping, parking, etc.), to meet the full requirements of this ordinance. However, when a building permit is required to expand or modify existing facilities, where it is impossible to come into compliance with the ordinance within the commercial zones (i.e. Building exists too close to the road, narrow or shallow lot, etc.), the property must comply with the following minimum requirements prior to issuance of any permit or license. The property owner shall be ultimately responsible for any and all required improvements.

All improvements shall be completed or secured prior to any occupancy permits or business license being issued.

1. Setbacks. The minimum setback shall not be less than twenty (20) feet. 
2. A concrete curb and gutter shall be installed.
3. Access. All frontages and approaches shall be furnished with concrete curb and gutter. Only one (1) forty foot (40’) wide access drive will be allowed unless access is shared with an  adjoining property. These shared accesses shall be a total of not less than forty feet (40’), with a minimum of twenty feet (20’) of width on each side of the property line. The total width shall not exceed eighty feet (80’). Two (2) curb cuts for each property will only be allowed when access is shared at both adjacent property lines that are perpendicular to the frontage highway or roadway. On corner lots, no more than one access drive shall be allowed on each frontage and access shall be at property lines or at least three hundred feet (300’) from the corner on collector roads. On minor or secondary roads, the access shall be at property lines or at least one hundred fifty feet (150’) from the intersection. If there are questions regarding safety, a traffic study shall be done.
4. Highway 91. On all State highways the property owner/ developer shall meet all requirements of the Utah Department of Transportation.
5. Signage. All signage for existing business shall be modified, replaced or removed to meet the signage requirement for the Industrial (I) Zone.
6. Hardships and Added Improvements. When an existing business or property owner is unable to meet the requirements indicated above, they may provide evidence of a hardship to the Land Use Authority.  The Land Use Authority may modify the requirements only if one or more of the following requirements are met:
7. Improvements are provided which will mitigate the adverse effects of non-conformance.
8. Upgrades to the project are provided, consistent with the intent of this ordinance.
9. In determining if an existing business or property owner claims a hardship and is eligible for relief through this chapter, all of the following criteria must be met:
10. The hardship is not self-imposed and is a result of the actions of others.
11. The result of conformance to the ordinance will significantly reduce or prevent the use of the property for a productive endeavor and there are no means, in the opinion of the Land Use Authority, to modify the site to meet the requirements.
12. Business or use of property existed before the adoption of Ordinance 96-4 on December 10, 1996 and no unauthorized improvements have been made to the property since that time.
13. The extent of the modifications shall be determined from the following:
14. Hardship to Provide:
15. Front yard Setback. The front yard setback may be reduced by no more than fifty percent (50%) (not less than ten feet (10’) ) when one (1) or more improvements are made: 1) required street trees are planted at three inch (3”) trunk diameter with automatic sprinkler system installed for entire landscape setback; 2) Access driveway is reduced to one (1) shared access (twenty foot (20’) maximum) at property line; 3) If on a corner lot, access is limited to one driveway from a street other than Highway 91.
16. Sign. One (1) existing non-conforming sign may be retained when all improvements are made: 1) All other signs or advertisements which are not in compliance are permanently eliminated; 2) Sign remains the same and is not changed; 3) Sign was originally installed less than ten (10) years ago.
