§ 525.240. Compliance with performance standards.

Whenever an application is made for issuance or change of a zoning certificate, which may include the production, processing, cleaning, servicing, testing or repair of materials, goods or products, the zoning administrator shall review the application to determine compliance with the applicable regulations of the zoning district and the applicable general performance standards of Chapter 535, Regulations of General Applicability. The zoning administrator may initiate an investigation or study to ensure compliance with the standards when it is believed that proposed processes may violate applicable general performance standards. When a determination of compliance may be reasonably made by the Minneapolis Health Department using health department equipment and personnel, the health department may accomplish the study or investigation necessary. When unusual technical complexity or expense would be incurred in securing the sufficient information to conclude the study or investigation, the zoning administrator may require the applicant to provide the evidentiary submission at the applicant's expense, including but not limited to the following:

(1)

Plans of the existing or proposed construction and development.

(2)

Detailed descriptions of existing or proposed machinery, processes, activities and materials used and the products made.

(3)

Plans and specifications for the mechanisms and techniques used or proposed to be used in demonstrating compliance with the applicable regulations of the zoning district and the applicable performance standards.

(4)

Measurements or estimates of the amount and rate of emission of any substance or force demonstrating compliance with the performance standards.
