All permitted, conditional and accessory uses in the industrial zone shall comply with the following performance standards:

A. All uses shall be subject to strict compliance with Washington state standards for noise, odor, air quality, smoke and hazardous materials.

B. No person shall operate or cause to be operated any source of sound in such a manner as to create a sound level that exceeds sixty dBA in any residential district. Specifically exempted from this requirement are emergency signaling devices, operating motor vehicles and lawnmowers, railroads, or aircraft.

C. Continuous frequent or repetitive vibrations that can be detected by a person of normal sensitivities at the property line shall not be produced. Vibrations from temporary construction activities, motor vehicles and vibrations occurring on an infrequent basis lasting less than five minutes are exempt.

D. Continuous, frequent or repetitive odors that exceed centimeter No. zero may not be produced. Odors lasting less than thirty minutes per day are exempt. The odor threshold is the point at which an odor may just be detected. The centimeter reading is based on the number of clear air dilutions required to reduce the odorous air to the threshold level. Centimeter No. zero is one to two dilutions of clear air.

E. All lighting shall be arranged so as not to produce glare on public roadways and/or neighboring non-industrial properties. Welding, acetylene torch or other similar processes shall be performed inside an enclosed structure.

F. All vehicle travelways, parking spaces and storage areas shall be paved with Portland cement concrete, asphalt cement pavement to eliminate dust as a result of wind or usage. Open areas shall be landscaped and/or maintained to minimize dust. Sites with its only access from an unpaved city street may provide alternative dust control measures in place of the required pavement.

G. All uses shall be subject to the collection and suitable disposal of on-site generated water runoff. A building permit and a drainage plan shall be submitted to the planning director for approval. The collection system shall be installed and functional prior to the issuance of a final building permit.

H. All open storage shall be enclosed by a six-foot-high security fence and/or an attractive hedge six feet in height so as to provide a fully site obscuring buffer when adjacent to public roads, and rights-of-way and any non-industrial district.
