Proposed building height, including appurtenances and building attachments, in the MX- 2 CG district shall be analyzed to determine if it exceeds the lirnitations of the Eglin Air Force Buse Tall Structure Analysis Map. In consultation with an Eglin AFB representative, the City may establish the maximum height at less than 120 feet in the MX -2 CG district, but no less than the maximum structure height ( above mean sea level) causing no major negative mission impacts for Eglin AFB, as depicted in the Map. 4. 03. 02 Nuisance / Pollution Standards for Industrial Developments All uses and activities conducted in the CTP zoning district shall conform to the standards of performance described below. The failure to conform to any such standards is hereby declared to be a public nuisance. A. Fire and explosion hazards. All activities and all storage of flammable and explosive materials or products at any place shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazards of fire and explosion, including adequate firefighting and fire Devlupomnt standard> for, 4 - 11 Fart Basch I a" d D," I" I' tient Cad, suppression equipment, as prescribed by all applicable fire prevention laws, ordinances, and regulations. B. Radiation. Any operation involving radiation ( e. g. the use of neutrons, protons and other atomic or nuclear particles) shall be conducted in accordance with the codes, rules, and regulations of State and Federal regulating agencies. Radiation limitations shall not exceed quantities established as safe by the United States Bureau of Standards. C. Electromagnetic radiation. For the purpose of these regulations, electromagnetic interference shall be defined as disturbances of an electromagnetic nature which are generated by the use of electrical equipment, other than planned and intentional sources of electromagnetic energy, which would interfere with the proper operation of electromagnetic radiation for such purposes as communication, experimentation, entertainment, broadcasting, heating, navigation, therapy, vehicle velocity measurement, weather survey, aircraft detection, topographical survey, personal pleasure or any other use directly or indirectly associated with these purposes which does not comply with the current regulations of the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC) regarding such sources of electromagnetic radiation. Further, said operations, in compliance with the FCC regulations, shall be unlawful if such radiation causes an abnormal degradation of performance of other electromagnetic radiators or electromagnetic receptors of quality and proper design because of proximity, primary field, blanketing, spurious re- radiation, conducted energy in power or telephone systems or harmonic content. The determination of " abnormal degradation of performance" and of " quality and proper design' shall be made in accordance with good engineering practices as defined in the latest principles and standards of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Institute of Radio Engineers and the Radio Manufacturers Association D. Toxic or hazardous matter. Any activity involving the use or storage of toxic or hazardous matter shall comply with all State, Federal and local laws and all regulations of any Federal, State, or local agency concerning pollution control or toxic substances. E. Waste disposal.

F. Vibration. No use of any property shall cause perceptible earth vibrations beyond any property line, except when pilings are driven for structure foundations. All stamping machines, punch presses, press brakes, hot forgings, steam board hammers, or similar devices shall be placed on shock absorption mountings and on suitable reinforced concrete footings. No machine shall be loaded beyond the capacity, as described by the manufacturers. G. Heat, cold, dampness, or movement of air. Activities on any property which produce any adverse effect on the temperature, motion, or humidity of the atmosphere beyond the lot lines are not permitted. H. Glare. There shall be no direct or sky- reflected glare, whether from floodlights, high temperature processing, combustion, welding, or otherwise so as to be visible at, or IN dnproent Standards Vag, 4 - 12 Fort %% I. auut interfere with uses on, adjacent properties. 1. Smoke, dust, and particulate matter. There shall be no emission of visible smoke, dust, dirt, fly ash, or any particulate matter from any pipes, vents, or other openings or from any other source, into the air which can cause damage or irritation to health, animals, vegetation, or to any form of property or which results in the violation of any applicable Federal, State or local requirements. J. Odor. There shall be no emission of odorous gases or other odorous matter in such quantities as to be offensive at the points of measurement. Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any such odors shall be provided with both a primary and a secondary safeguard system so that control may be maintained in the event of failure of the primary safeguard system.
