§ 7.00.00. Purpose.

The purpose of performance standards is to control multifamily residential, commercial and industrial uses; to prevent potential nuisances; to be measured factually and objectively; to ensure that all uses provide methods to protect the community from hazards and nuisances which can be prevented through processes of control and nuisance elimination; and to protect industries from arbitrary exclusion or persecution based solely on the nuisance production by any particular type of similar use in the past.
