Mazon City Zoning Code

MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS

§ 155.390 PURPOSE; INTENT.

   The regulations for manufacturing districts are designed to provide for the establishment of a full range of industrial and allied activities and to govern their operations in a manner that will not have a deleterious effect on agricultural, residential and business areas. It is essential that there are adequate provisions for the expansion of industry, both those existing today and for attracting a diversification of new industry. Adequate industrial sites and industrial expansion will create growth and development of the village’s economic and tax base and provide a variety of employment for its labor force.
(Ord. 1999-2, Zoning § 16, subs. .010, passed 2-15-1999)

§ 155.391 PROHIBITED USES.

   No activities involving the manufacture of materials or products which decompose by detonation shall be permitted in the M1 and M2 districts. Such materials shall include but shall not be limited to all primary explosives such as lead azide, lead styphnate, fulminates and tetracene; all high explosives such as TNT, RDX, HMX PETN and picric acid; propellants and components thereof such as nitrocellulose, black powder, boron hydrides, hydrazine and its derivatives; pyrotechnics and fireworks such as magnesium powder, potassium chlorate and potassium nitrate; blasting explosives such as dynamite and nitroglycerine; unstable organic compounds such as acetylides, tetrazoles and ozonides; strong oxidizing agents such as liquid oxygen, percholoric acid, perchlorates, chlorates and hydrogen peroxide in concentrations greater than 35%; and nuclear fuels, fissionable materials and products, and reactor elements such as uranium 235 and plutonium 239.
(Ord. 1999-2, Zoning § 16, subs. .020, passed 2-15-1999)

§ 155.392 OPERATIONS WITHIN ENCLOSED BUILDINGS.

   (A)   M1 Manufacturing District. All activities involving the manufacturing, fabricating, processing, assembling, disassembling, repairing, cleaning, servicing, testing and storing of materials, products, and goods shall be conducted within completely enclosed buildings.
   (B)   M2 and M3 Manufacturing Districts. All activities involving the manufacturing, fabricating, processing, assembling, disassembling, repairing, cleaning, servicing, testing and storing of materials, products and goods shall be within completely enclosed buildings, or if outdoors, effectively screened by a solid wall, uniformly painted solid fence or chain link fence with dense plantings of trees and shrubs; and provided the open storage is not of a greater height than that of the enclosing fence or wall. This section shall not prohibit shipping and receiving activities that do not exceed four hours.
(Ord. 1999-2, Zoning § 16, subs. .030, passed 2-15-1999)

§ 155.393 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS; COMPLIANCE.

   (A)   Any use established in the manufacturing districts after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be so operated as to comply with the performance standards governing noise, vibration, smoke and particulate matter, toxic matter, odorous matter, fire and explosive hazards, glare and radiation hazards as set forth in this chapter for the district in which such use shall be located.

   (B)   Measurements shall be made at or beyond the adjacent lot line or the nearest residence district boundary line, as described below. Vibration displacements shall be measured with an instrument or complement of instruments capable of simultaneously measuring in three mutually perpendicular directions. The maximum vector resultant shall be less than the vibration displacement permitted.
   (C)   The maximum permitted displacements shall be determined in each district by the following formula:
D    =    K

D = displacement in inches;
K = a constant to be determined by reference to the tables below; and
f = the frequency of the vibration transmitted through the ground, cycles per second.
      (1)   M1 Manufacturing District. The maximum earth displacement permitted at the points described in the following table shall be determined by use of the formula in division (C) of this section and the appropriate K constant shown in Table 1 below.

   (F)   Particulate matter loadings in pounds per acre described below shall be determined by selecting a continuous four-hour period which will result in the highest average emission rate.
      (1)   M1 Manufacturing District.
         (a)   The emission of smoke having a density or equivalent opacity in excess of Ringelmann No. 1 is prohibited. However, for two minutes in any four-hour period, smoke up to and including Ringelmann No. 2 shall be permitted.
