more specifically, Ambassador Services and Coastal Fuels.
The Board members asked for staff direction. Todd Peetz suggested that the
Board review principal uses and uses by special exception in the M-1 zoning
district. He further suggested creating performance standards and criteria for:
separation, noise, dust, smoke, emissions, odor, lighting, residue, and buffering.
Discussion was held regarding regulating and enforcing nuisances; potential
incompatibilities; creating buffer districts; property rights; establishing distance
requirements; types of principal uses; defining light manufacturing, and types of
similar uses. A citizen of Solana Lakes voiced her concerns regarding smoke,
odor, and emissions coming from the asphalt at Coastal Fuels.
The Board discussed utilizing the City of Sanford's nuisance ordinance, as an
example, when the City considers implementing a nuisance code during the
zoning code review.
