CHAPTER 63 - LOT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

Printable Version

63.610 APPLICATION OF STANDARDS

If in the judgment of the zoning administrator a proposed use appears likely to require control measures to prevent violation of industrial performance standards, the applicant shall submit along with the application for a zoning certificate a description of the proposed machinery, processes and products, and specifications for the mechanisms and techniques to be used in restricting the emission of the objectionable elements.  The fee for such application shall be as provided in Paragraph 60.175 plus the cost of the special reports required below.

63.611

Report by Specialists:  The zoning administrator may refer the application to one or more qualified specialists for investigation and report as to whether a proposed use will conform to the applicable performance standards.  Such consultant or consultants shall report as promptly as possible after his or their receipt of such application.  A copy of such report shall be promptly furnished to the applicant.

63.612

Review by Zoning Administrator:  The zoning administrator shall decide whether the proposed use will conform to the applicable performance standards within 15 days of receipt of the consultant’s report, and on such basis shall authorize or refuse to authorize issuance of a zoning certificate or may require modification of the proposed plan of construction, or specifications, proposed equipment, or operation.  Any zoning certificate so authorized and issued shall be conditioned upon, among other things, the following:  

1. that the applicant’s buildings and installations when completed will conform in operation to the applicable performance standards; and
2. that the applicant will pay the fees for services of the expert consultant or consultants deemed reasonable and necessary by the zoning administrator to advise the city as to whether or not the applicant’s completed buildings and installation in operation will meet said applicable performance standards.

63.613

Continued Enforcement:  The zoning administrator shall investigate any purported violation of performance standards, and if there is reasonable ground for the same, shall serve the owner with a written notice of violation thereof.  If it should become necessary for the city to employ the services of any qualified expert to advise in establishing a violation, his fee shall be paid by the violator if said violation is established, otherwise it shall be paid by the City.

63.614

Points of Measurement:  Unless otherwise noted within the regulations of this section, the measurements necessary for enforcement of performance standards levels set forth in this section shall be taken at the property line boundary of the use being considered for a zoning certificate or possible violation notice.
