All property in all zone districts shall be used so as to avoid creating any dangerous, injurious, noxious or otherwise objectionable condition that would adversely impact residents, employees, or visitors on the property itself or on neighboring properties.
All activities shall be conducted so that the level and pattern of noise does not constitute a nuisance to the public. No activity shall be conducted at a level that exceeds those maximum permissible noise levels established by Pitkin County Code and/or C.R.S. 25-12-1013, et. seq., whichever is more restrictive, and violation of those noise levels shall be a violation of this Land Use Code.
No activity or development shall cause inherent and recurring generated vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line. Temporary construction activities, and blasting associated with mining activities, otherwise in compliance with applicable federal, state and local regulations, are excluded from this restriction. Blasting associated with mining activities shall require the issuance of a blasting permit from the Sheriff’s Office.
No activity or development shall cause or allow the emission of any odorous air contaminant that is a nuisance, hazard or exceeds applicable federal or state regulations. The measurement of the threshold odor shall be in accordance with the American Society for Testing Materials Method D1391-57 "Standards Method for Measurement of Odor in Atmosphere (Dilution Method)" (Philadelphia: American Society of Testing Materials, 1957). Detailed plans for the prevention of odors crossing property lines may be required before the issuance of a building permit.
Land uses shall:
It shall be unlawful to operate, or cause to be operated, any source 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 that does not comply with the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission regarding such sources of electromagnetic radiation.
All applicable federal, state, and local statutes, rules, regulations, and ordinances (including, without limitation, those promulgated and/or enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the National Institute of Health, or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) shall apply to the treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal of any hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or solid wastes (as such terms are defined by any of the applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances referenced above).
No person shall cause or permit any materials to be handled, transported, or stored in a manner that allows particulate matter to become airborne or liquid matter to drain onto or into the ground. All materials or wastes that might cause fumes or dust or that constitute a fire hazard or that may be edible by or otherwise be attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only in closed, impermeable trash containers that are screened in accordance with the requirements of this Land Use Code.
Nuclear detonations are prohibited in all areas of Pitkin County. Research operations shall cause no dangerous radiation at any property line as specified by the regulations of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The glare effect produced by light reflecting from an object shall not create an unreasonable adverse impact with regard to intensity and duration. If glare creates an unreasonable off-site impact, vegetative screening, repositioning of that object, removal of that object, or other effective means of reducing glare may be required to mitigate that impact. The property owner is responsible for mitigation of glare. (Code repealed and reenacted (all sections) July, 2006 by Ord. 014-D-2006 - § 7-100-90 added Ord. 010-11, 08-10-11)
