§ 47-7.20. Additional requirement for conditional uses in the Industrial (I) District.

A.

In addition to complying with the requirements for a conditional use permit as provided in Section 47-24.3, the following information shall be required for a conditional use permit, as provided in Section 47-24.3, for any industrial conditional use:

1.

Requirements for an operational plan. An operational plan shall be submitted in conjunction with an application for a conditional use permit including, but not limited to, the following information, where applicable:

a.

Methods and hours of the proposed operation;

b.

Distance of buildings and outside storage areas to nearby waterways, residences, schools, houses of worship, hospitals or parks;

c.

Design of access streets to accommodate any heavy equipment associated within the operation.

2.

Risk management study. A study shall be submitted which identifies impacts of the proposed or existing use and the proposed mitigation of such impacts as it relates to the neighborhood compatibility requirements, as provided in Section 47-25.3. In addition, the study shall document and support methods for controlling the impacts of the use and shall certify the effectiveness of such methods. The methodology for such study shall be submitted to the department for approval prior to initiation of the study in conjunction with the site plan level IV review. The methodology shall include the weeks and day the study will be conducted, the number of days and duration of the study, and the time intervals and locations for data collection. The department may require the application to be reviewed by an independent licensed professional engineer contracted by the city to determine whether the study supports the basis for the methods to be used in controlling the impacts of the use.

3.

Environmental standards. A site plan for the proposed uses which shows how the proposed use will meet the following performance criteria:

a.

Air pollutants. Air pollutants which when measured by the pollutant standard index (PSI) related to five major air pollutants sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and total suspended particulate will not be greater than 100 as measured by the PSI scale and measures to monitor such air pollutants. Demonstration that, if beryllium, mercury, asbestos and vinyl chloride are utilized, they will meet the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

b.

Water quality. Demonstration that water quality standards as established by the national pollutant standards, are being met.

c.

Industrial wastes. Identification of the presence of the toxic wastes, reactive wastes, ignitable wastes which may result from industrial and manufacturing processes, including but not limited to emission of gaseous wastes, and emission of pollutants and how the disposal or management of such waste and materials will be controlled to ensure that such operation will not pose substantial hazards to human health or the environment. If corrosive wastes are present, such wastes will be stored in special containers that cannot corrode, or controlled by some other measure to separate such wastes from other waste materials.

d.

Prohibition on the use of certain industrial chemicals. No polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), toxic industrial chemicals, shall be used in the manufacture of any products.

e.

Management of industrial materials. Demonstration that if mercury, explosives, pesticides, radioactive, flammable materials, infectious materials, arsenic, benzene and radio nuclides are being utilized, that measures are being made to ensure that the use of such materials will not pose substantial hazards to human health or the environment.

4.

Description of best management practices utilized in the industrial operation. Best management practices that aid in controlling pollution that derives from a proposed Industrial operation shall be utilized in meeting the requirements of this section. Such practices may include, but not be limited to structural controls, nonstructural controls and procedures for operation and maintenance of such uses.
