Create industrial development patterns that are efficient in design and which will minimize hazardous traffic conditions not only within the light industrial area itself, but on the roads leading to and from Lincolnway East, the main transportation artery serving the New Oxford light industrial area.

Allow for the development of a variety of land uses, including medium to medium/high density residential, on vacant land areas within the New Oxford light industrial area, thus providing development flexibility within areas of the Borough containing both industry and large vacant land parcels.

Provide for potential new housing opportunities in close proximity to workplaces, thus enabling people to walk from home to work.

Require new industrial development to be adequately buffered from nearby residential land uses to ensure the maximum possible compatibility between land uses; conversely, require also that new residential development in light industrial area be buffered again to insure compatibility between land uses.

Provide performance standards for industrial uses that ensure that the off-site impacts of industrial operations on surrounding, moderate density residential areas are minimized.

Prohibit uses that, because of their nature and because of the lack of large vacant parcels that could supply adequate buffering, are inconsistent with the developed and historic village fabric that currently exists in New Oxford Borough.

Light manufacturing uses defined as the processing and/or assembly of the following and similar types of products.

Corporate headquarters.

Scientific and commercial testing laboratories.

Dust and other similar types of air pollution borne by wind from storage areas, yards, parking areas, or other areas shall be minimized by landscaping, sealing or other acceptable means.

No operation shall release materials capable of becoming odorous, either by bacterial decomposition or chemical reaction, to an extent so as to be readily discernible without instruments from the boundaries of the property.

No operation may emit, from any process, smoke or steam that exceeds a density or equivalent capacity of Ringlemann No. 1, from the Ringlemann Chart as adopted and published by the United States Department of the Interior.

Electric or electronic equipment shall be shielded such that no interference of radio and television broadcasts shall be discerned beyond the property.

No operation shall produce a sound pressure level on adjacent property in excess 65 decibels for residential property and 70 decibels for nonresidential property. The maximum permitted sound levels shall be reduced by 10 decibels between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

No operation shall produce at any point along the property line a continuous earth borne vibration so as to be readily discernible without instruments from the boundaries of the property.

The minimum lot size shall be one acre.

The maximum building coverage shall not exceed 40%.

The maximum impervious lot coverage shall not exceed 65%. Impervious lot coverage includes features such as buildings and paved parking lots and other such facilities that do not allow for the infiltration of water into the ground.

Unless otherwise required by this Part, the minimum building setback from Commerce Street, South College Street or West Golden Lane shall be 50 feet. The minimum building setback from all other streets shall be 80 feet.

The minimum side and rear setbacks for properties with adjoining industrial uses shall be 40 feet.

Unless otherwise required by this Part, the minimum side and rear setbacks for an industrial property which borders a residential zoning district shall be 100 feet for structures and buildings and 50 for parking lots, loading areas and outdoor storage.

The maximum building height shall be 45 feet.

A landscaped area, planted in such a manner to provide a visual screen of 50% opacity, shall be provided along any property line that borders a residential zone, regardless of whether or not the residentially zoned parcel is developed. The opacity percentage is defined as the percentage of the normal line of sight that is obscured by the visual screen. Landscaping shall also be provided on any portion of the site not used for buildings, structures, parking, loading areas or storage areas.
