A. The provisions of this article shall apply to any industrial uses located within the I1 and I2 Industrial Zoning Districts in Coventry or those preexisting nonconforming uses in any other zoning district. If any existing use, process, building or other structure is extended, enlarged, moved, structurally altered or reconstructed, or any existing use of land is modified in any way, these performance standards shall become applicable.

B. Performance standards shall be measured at the lot line at a point nearest the use or process being measured.

C. Industrial uses shall comply with all applicable zoning requirements. Property and buildings shall be designed and laid out to minimize adverse impacts on adjacent property by establishing adequate buffers and screening the use through such features as landscaping, fences, and plantings; suitably located points of traffic ingress/egress; and areas for loading and parking, which shall be screened and landscaped. (See Articles XII and XVII).

D. If any local standards differ from state or federal standards, the more stringent or restrictive standards shall apply.
