Existing Code Sections: § 230-17 Industrial districts.

Introduction. The industrial districts are for those areas of the Town that are

found to be suitable for heavy commercial and/or industrial activities. These 3

REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD - September 16, 2024 Town of Clay activities comprise land uses and structures that are engaged in the large- scale production or processing of raw materials; the transformation of materials from one form to another; the handling, storage or production of significant quantities of potentially hazardous or objectionable materials, and/or the use of dangerous or obnoxious processes used in the production or handling of materials. All of these activities are expected to require good access to transportation routes, extra attention for fire and emergency services, and may require specialized water or sanitary sewage services. The districts are generally ordered in increasing level of intensity. Industrial District 1 is for lowest intensity types of industrial land uses, those that operate within enclosed structures and are least likely to have adverse impacts beyond their individual properties. Industrial 2 is for moderate- intensity land uses that may have exterior activity, will tend to be larger in scale and may have more objectionable characteristics requiring more monitoring and mitigation measures. The S-1 Special

Uses District is for high-intensity land uses that may employ unique processes or materials which need to be sensitively placed within the Town.

A. Performance standards for all industrial districts.

(1) Noise. No land use activity shall emit noises measured at the property lines of the subject property exceeding 70 decibels between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., or 60 decibels between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. These maximum sound levels may be intermittently exceeded by not more than seven decibels for a maximum of six minutes during any sixty-minute period. Any land use activity on property that is entirely or partially within 500 feet of a Residential Zone District shall be subject to the more restrictive noise standards of either this section or of the Town of Clay Code, Chapter 152.

Proposed added language to Section 230-17 A (1):

Land use activities in Industrial II (12) zones are specifically exempt from the more restrictive noise standard, but still must comply with

the industrial noise standards contained in this Code. Motion was seconded by Councilor Hess.

Ayes — 6 and Noes — 0. Motion carried.
