Oldsmar City Zoning Code

5.7

WAREHOUSING, ASSEMBLY, AND MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS

This land use category is intended toward providing suitable locations for land uses intended to meet the needs for a balanced economic base and to provide employment opportunities for the residents of Oldsmar and the surrounding area. The activities permitted are those that provide for the manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, storage, movement and sale of goods and products to market.

The districts in this land use category should be located conveniently to principal roadway routes and near railway lines to promote the efficient movement of goods produced, stored and distributed. Location of the districts in this grouping adjacent to residential areas should be strictly avoided, or heavily buffered where such avoidance is impractical.


5.7.1. - Performance standards.

All uses in these districts shall conform to the standards of performance described below and shall be so constructed, maintained and operated as not to be injurious or offensive to the occupants of adjacent premises by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust or other particulate matter, toxic or noxious waste materials, odors, fire and explosive hazard or glare. Within 300 feet of a residential district, all processes and storage, except storage for passenger vehicles, shall be in completely closed buildings. Processes and storage located at a greater distance shall be effectively screened by a solid wall or fence at least six feet in height, but in no case lower in height than the enclosed process or storage. When, in the opinion of the planning and redevelopment director, a violation of this section of this article of this Code appears to exist, he shall require facts or test reports as proof of compliance. The owner (or his agent) shall be notified, prior to the test, by a letter from the planning and redevelopment director.

A complainant who desires to have a test made without following the above procedure may, at his discretion and expense, contract with an approved testing agency to have the test made. Results of such tests are to be supplied to the planning and redevelopment director, and the alleged violator if the complainant desires to pursue his legal remedies to abate a nuisance.

Tests shall be made by an approved testing laboratory or other qualified agency approved by the city council. Copies of all test reports are to be submitted to the city council, and shall include a certified statement of fact by an official agent of the testing laboratory or other approved agency, as to the compliance or noncompliance of the operation with these performance standards. Such reports shall be maintained by the city clerk of the City of Oldsmar.

5.7.1.1. Buffers.

Any use abutting a residential, commercial retail, or planned unit development district shall comply with the landscaping and buffering requirements set forth in article XII, of this Code, and any additional buffering or screening as may be appropriate.

Every use shall be so operated as to comply with the maximum performance standards governing noise described below. Noises due to intermittence, beat frequency or shrillness shall be required to maintain a decibel reading of six points less than the maximum indicated hereinafter. Sound levels shall be measured with a sound level meter and associated octave band filter manufactured according to standards prescribed by the American Standards Association. Noise standards shall be complied with at all points along the subject property line.
