The guiding of rural and suburban development so as to develop a compatible relationship of uses to achieve the purposes and guiding principles established by this chapter depends upon certain standards being maintained. Uses permitted in the various districts; conditional and accessory uses; and any use authorized by special permit, variance, the application of any credit, formula or special planning procedure, such as PRDs or PIDs or other provisions of this chapter, shall conform to the standards of this division. These standards shall apply in all districts. (Code 1984, § 10.60(1)) Sec. 78-1567. Density. Permitted uses or application of the various provisions of this chapter or other laws, including provisions relating to conditional and accessory use, uses authorized by special permit, variance, the application of any credit, formula, or special planning procedure, whether singly or in combination, shall not result in a density greater than four dwelling units per acre of dry buildable land or air space used for construction in any zoning district. (Code 1984, § 10.60(2)) Sec. 78-1568. Noise. Any use established shall be so operated that no noise resulting from that use is perceptible beyond the boundaries of the plat line of the site on which such use is located. This standard shall not apply to incidental traffic, parking, loading, construction or maintenance operations. (Code 1984, § 10.60(3)) Cross reference(s)—Noise generally, § 58-116 et seq.
