CHAPTER 12

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

5-12-1: JURISDICTION:

Any use hereafter established in any zoning district in the Village shall be used and maintained in such a manner as to comply with applicable performance standards as hereinafter set forth governing noise, smoke, particulate matter, toxic and noxious matter, odors, fire and explosive hazards, vibration, radiation or glare or heat, for the district in which such use shall be located; and no use already established on the effective date hereof shall be so altered or modified as to conflict with, or further conflict with applicable performance standards for the district in which such use is located.

5-12-2: NOISE:

Each land use must conform to the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Such standards shall include but not be limited to the requirements as outlined in the publication entitled "State of Illinois Noise Pollution Control Regulations", dated August 9, 1973, as amended.

5-12-3: VIBRATION:

   A.   In any district, no activity or operation shall cause or create earthborne vibrations in excess of the displacement values given below:
Vibration displacements shall be measured with an instrument or complement of instruments capable of simultaneously measuring in three (3) mutually perpendicular directions. The maximum vector shall be less than the vibration displacement permitted. For the purpose of this Title, steady state vibrations are vibrations which are continuous, or vibration in discrete impulses more frequent than one hundred (100) per minute. Discrete impulses which do not exceed one hundred (100) per minute shall be considered impact vibrations.
   B.   The maximum permitted displacements shall be determined in each district by the following formula:
 
D = K
f
D
=
displacement in inches
K
=
a constant to be determined by reference to the following tables
f
=
the frequency of the vibration transmitted through the ground expressed in cycles per second
 
   C.   The maximum earth displacement permitted at the points described below shall be determined by use of the formula in the preceding subsection B and the appropriate K constant shown in Table 1.

5-12-4: SMOKE AND PARTICULATE MATTER:

Each land use must conform to the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Such standards shall include but not be limited to the requirements as outlined in the publication entitled "State of Illinois Smoke and Particulate Matter", adopted by the Illinois Air Pollution Control Board and dated April 14, 1972.

5-12-5: TOXIC MATTER:

Each land use must conform to the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Such standards shall include but not be limited to the requirements as outlined in the publication entitled "State of Illinois Toxic Matter", adopted by the Illinois Air Pollution Control Board and dated April 14, 1972.

5-12-6: ODOROUS MATTER:

Each land use must conform to the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Such standards shall include but not be limited to the requirements as outlined in the publication entitled State of Illinois Odorous Matter, adopted by the Illinois Air Pollution Control Board and dated April 14, 1972.

5-12-7: FIRE AND EXPLOSION:

Each land use must conform to the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, State Fire Marshall, County of Lake or any other agency.

5-12-8: GLARE:

   A.   In any district, any operation or activity producing glare at night shall be conducted so that direct and/or indirect illumination from the source of light on the lot shall not cause illumination in excess of one-half (1/2) foot candle when measured in the residence district.
   B.   Flickering or intense sources of light shall be controlled or shielded so as not to cause a nuisance across lot lines. When street lighting produces illumination in excess of one foot candle at any point in the residence district, the contribution by light sources from within the industrial use measured at the same point shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the street lighting.

5-12-9: RADIATION HAZARDS:

   A.   Release Outside Property Lines: In any district the release of radio-active materials or the emission of ionizing radiation outside of property lines shall be in accordance with the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Such standards shall include but not be limited to the requirements as outlined in the rules and regulations of the State of Illinois "Rules and Regulations for Prevention of Radiation Hazards", adopted April 18, 1961, amended May 15, 1967.
   B.   Unsealed Radioactive Materials: In any district, unsealed radioactive materials shall not be manufactured, utilized or stored except when such materials are stored in a fireproof container at or below ground level.

5-12-10: WATER POLLUTION:

Each land use must conform to the standards set forth from time to time by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Such standards shall include but not be limited to the requirements as outlined in the publication entitled "Water Pollution Regulations of Illinois", dated March 7, 1972, (Division of Water Pollution Control).
