"RESOLUTION NO. 171
WHEREAS, the Mirra -Cote Co. Inc., Specialists
in Vacuum Metalization, has made inquiry concerning its
classification under the Cityts zoning ordinance be-
cause the type of business involves equipment and pro-
cesses not identified in the zoning ordinance, and
WHEREAS, both the present and proposed zoning
ordinances make provision requiring the Planning Commis-
sion, in the presence of omissions or ambiguities, to
ascertain pertinent facts and recommend interpretations
consistent with the spirit and purpose of the Ordinances
(Paragraph A of Section 12 of Ordinance 306 as amended,
and Section 1402 of impending new ordinancej,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Com-
mission finds as follows:
(1) That the enterprise, as evidenced by an
operating plant and buildings and installation plans
presented, reveals that the use is definitely industrial
in character.
(2) That the major features comprising the
plant include:
(a) Offices,
(b) Vacuum metalic precipitating and
coating equipment,
- 1 -
7406
(c) Two separated rooms devoted to dipping
objects in enamel both for coating,
drip draining and blower removal of
surplus enamel, all on a conveyor belt,
(d) Small compartments, separated from
enamel rooms, for tbakingt enameled ob-
jects; one treating non - metalic objects
at 1400 fahrenheit, and the other unit
for treating metalic objects at 3000
fahrenheit,
(3) Ventilating equipment.
(4) Outdoor storage of solvent inside cyclone
fence, curbed enclosure with a capacity of 20 drums, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, (1) That in terms of compat-
ability as measured by degree of nuisance recognized by
zoning standards, the use would fall naturally into the
1I -1 category of uses as defined in both the present and
proposed zoning ordinances except for the enameling pro-
cess and materials.
(2) That in the respects enumerated in item (1)
above, the establishment is comparable to service stations,
auto painting and similar uses which, as a whole in each
type of use ,could be required to be located in a heavier
zone because of the hazardous character of certain materi-
als employed, were it not for the fact that such natural
hazard factors are minimized through the requirements of
the Dangerous Chemicals Code, the Building Code, and simi-
lar protective codes.
(3) That such Codes would automatically apply
to the instant case, thus bringing the use by reason of
buildin- design, equipment and operation in the category
of permissible uses in the M -1 Zone, and
FINALLY RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration,
and if concurred in, that the interpretation be hereafter
followed in all related administrative acts.
