As a condition of approval and the continuance of any use, occupancy of any structure and operation of any process or equipment, the applicant shall supply evidence, satisfactory to the Planning Board or its designated representative, that the proposed use, structure, process or equipment will conform fully to all of the applicable performance standards. As evidence of compliance, the Board may require certification of tests by appropriate government agencies or by recognized testing laboratories, any cost thereof to be borne by the applicant. The Planning Board may require that specific types of equipment, machinery or devices be installed or that specific operating procedures or methods be followed if the government agencies or testing laboratories examining the proposed operation shall determine that the use of such specific types of machinery, equipment, devices, procedures or methods is required in order to assure compliance with the applicable performance standards. Permits and certificates required by other government agencies shall be submitted to the Planning Board as proof of compliance with applicable codes.

In the event that a determination cannot be made at the time of application that a proposed use, process or piece of equipment will meet the standards established in this article, the Planning Board may issue a conditional permit. The conditional permit would be based on submission of evidence that the proposed use, process or equipment will meet the standards established herein after completion or installation and operation. Within 30 days after a conditional permit is granted, a final approval shall be applied for and satisfactory evidence submitted that all standards established by this article have been met.

All use of materials, equipment or facilities which are or may be sources of radiation shall comply with all controls, standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and any codes, rules or regulations promulgated under such Act, as well as the Radiation Protection Act, Chapter 116, P.L. 1958, as amended, whichever shall be more stringent.

The purpose of this section is to ensure that the environmental character of the area surrounding the proposed use, with respect to noise, shall not be altered. The standards established herein shall be interpreted in any specific case with this objective in mind.

In any zone, no vibrations discernible without instruments at the measuring point shall be permitted.

Glare is the sensation produced by brightness within the visual field that is sufficiently greater than the luminance to which the eyes are adjusted and which causes annoyance, discomfort or loss in visual performance and visibility. Direct glare is glare resulting from insufficiently shielded light sources in the field of view. Reflected glare results from specular reflections of high brightness in polished or glossy surfaces in the field of view.

Heat is thermal energy of radiative, conductive or convective nature. In any zone, any use or process shall not produce a temperature rise discernible at the measuring point or discharge water into any watercourse which shall produce a temperature increase of greater than 3° in that watercourse.

If it appears that any proposed use, structure, process or resulting product or material may constitute a fire or explosion hazard, the Planning Board may require the applicant to supply proof of:

Where buffers are required, they should follow the guidelines found for bufferyards found in the site plan standards, § 296-175E.

No open or outside storage of manufacturing or other materials, junk, scrap, raw materials, parts or waste products of any kind shall be permitted, except that refuse for collection may be stored in suitable covered containers in side or rear yards in a location convenient to the source of wastes and to the refuse collector. Such refuse storage areas shall be effectively screened by opaque fencing and/or landscaping providing an immediate screen. Permitted uses in the I-2 Zone may have outdoor storage pursuant to § 296-123 as permitted by the Planning Board in designated areas.
