standards and regulations limiting dangerous and objectionable elements,
such as dust, smoke, odor, fumes, noise or vibration. In approving
the site plan, the Planning Board shall decide whether the proposed
use will conform to the applicable performance standards. The applicant
shall submit to the Planning Board, if the Planning Board so requests,
a written report showing the manner in which the proposed use will
comply with the performance standards. Any building permit or certificate
of occupancy shall be conditioned on, among other things, the applicant's
paying the fees for services of such expert consultant or consultants
as the Planning Board may call upon for advice as to whether or not
the applicant's completed buildings and installations will conform
in operation to the applicable performance standards. When the use
of such consultant is required by the Planning Board, the applicant
shall deposit the sum of $2,500 to be applied to the fee of such consultant.
Any proceeds of such deposit not used for said consultant shall be
returned to the applicant, and any deficiency shall be made up by
the applicant within 15 days following a request therefor by the Planning
Board and, in any event, prior to the issuance of a building permit
or certificate of occupancy, which shall be conditioned on the continuous
conformance of the applicant's completed buildings, installations
and uses to the applicable performance standards.
(1)Â
All permitted uses shall be subject to the performance
standards procedure. If the Code Enforcement Officer has reasonable
grounds to believe that any proposed use violates any of the performance
standards and reports accordingly to the Planning Board, then the
applicant shall comply with the performance standards procedure.
(2)Â
Enforcement provisions applicable to other uses. Initial
and continued compliance with the performance standards is required
of every use, including those already existing on the effective date
of this chapter. Provisions for enforcement of continued compliance
with the performance standards shall be invoked by the Code Enforcement
Officer against any use if there are reasonable grounds to believe
that the performance standards are being violated by such use.
(3)Â
Performance standards procedure.
(a)Â
An application for a building permit or certificate
of occupancy for a use subject to the performance standards procedure
shall include a plan of proposed construction and a description of
the proposed machinery, operations and products and specifications
for the mechanisms and techniques to be used in restricting the emission
of any dangerous and objectionable elements. The applicant shall also
file with such plans and specifications an affidavit acknowledging
his understanding of the applicable performance standards and stating
his agreement to conform to the same at all times. No applicant will
be required to reveal any secret processes, and any information which
may be designated by the applicant as a trade secret and submitted
herewith will be treated as confidential. During the course of site
plan review, the Planning Board shall determine if the applicant's
proposal falls within the performance standards.
(b)Â
The Planning Board may require a report by one
or more expert consultants retained by the Planning Board or retained
by the applicant and approved by the Planning Board to advise as to
whether the proposed use will conform to the applicable performance
standards. The consultant shall report to the Board within 20 days
of said request, and a copy of his report shall be promptly furnished
to the applicant. Time extensions may be allowed by mutual agreement
of the Planning Board and the applicant. The cost of any such special
reports by expert consultants shall be paid by the applicant.
