As a condition to approval and as a condition
to continuance of any building, process, installation, production
or other use in an industrial district, the applicant shall supply
evidence, satisfactory to the Planning Board or to its designated
representative, that the proposed building, process, installation,
production or other use will conform fully with 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 costs 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 are
required in order to assure compliance with the applicable performance
standards.
No liquid waste shall be discharged into any
watercourse in the municipality.
No industrial waste shall be discharged into
the public sewage collection and disposal system unless the appropriate
officials of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Sewer Utility shall have first
investigated the character and volume of such waste and shall have
certified that it will accept the discharge of the waste material
into the system. The applicant shall comply with any requirements
of the utility, including the pretreating of such wastes, control
of pH and other methods of improving such wastes prior to discharge,
as a condition to acceptance by the utility.
All uses and activities shall comply with noise
and vibration standards adopted by the Township of Parsippany-Troy
Hills and applicable state and federal laws, and, further, no use
shall cause an increased vibration beyond the limits of the property
on which located nor increase the ambient noise levels present at
boundaries of the site nor cause intermittent or point-audible noise
or noise vibration to adversely impact adjoining property.
No process or use shall be permitted that produces
heat to the extent that such temperature has an adverse effect of
any kind upon adjoining properties and uses.
Any process producing intense glare or flashing
of lights shall be performed within a completely enclosed building
in such manner that no discomfort glare shall be disseminated beyond
the building. No key reflected or indirect glare shall be permitted
if any operation is to be conducted in any area outside of a building,
except where required for safety purposes. Lighting of any interior
roadway or driveway shall conform to American Standard Practice for
Roadway Lighting, ASAD 12.1-1963, sponsored by the Illuminating Engineering
Society and published by the United States American Standards Institute.
Lighting of any parking area or of any loading and unloading area
shall conform to the strictest standards described in Recommended
Practice for Outdoor Parking Area Lighting, published by the Illuminating
Engineering Society, with spacing and type of luminaire such that
spill light shall be kept at a minimum objectionable glare to any
point beyond the lot line. Parking and loading and unloading areas
that are in use after dark shall be so situated as to provide maximum
shielding and concealment of lighting from adjoining properties. Lighting
of any sign, building exterior, fountain or decorative fixture shall
be placed in such a manner that it is directed toward the object to
be lighted and does not disseminate glare. This section shall not
be construed to prohibit lighting required by police or other enforcement
agencies for the safety and protection of employees and of the general
public.
In order to satisfy itself that the applicant
will comply fully with all of the applicable performance standards,
the Planning Board or its designated representative may examine and
refer to any or all of the available standards, codes, regulations
and requirements of federal, state, county, Township and recognized
professional organizations, associations and societies.
In all cases where the Planning Board shall
deem it advisable to determine whether or not the facility will be
in conformity with the applicable performance standards or other provisions
of this chapter, the Planning Board or its designated representatives
shall require adequate testing procedures and shall utilize expert
assistance at the expense of the applicant.
[Added 11-23-1982 by Ord. No. 85:82]
No industrial use shall in normal operation
emit toxic gases; neither shall an industrial use be such that in
the event of accident heavier-than-air toxic gases will be able to
cross lot boundaries in harmful concentration. "Hazardous, toxic,
volatile substances" shall be defined as those named in Documentation
of Threshold Limit Values by the American Conference of Government
Industrial Hygienists, the Toxic Substances List (Editors H. E. Christenson
and T. Luginbyhl) issued by the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health, United States Environmental Protection Agency and
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. In order to satisfy
itself that the applicant will comply fully with this performance
standard, the Zoning Officer, Planning Board and Board of Adjustment
shall require the applicant to fully describe the process and all
substances stored and to submit an environmental assessment statement
for their review in a public hearing.
