For example, where the manufacturing use is a bakery, distillery or brewery, and the adjacent use is a dining or drinking establishment, buffering or screening may not be required.
3. Uses involving carpentry, metal fabrication, machine work, lathing, drilling, welding, hammering, offset printing, and similar noise or odor producing activities, where noise levels beyond the building would routinely exceed 60 dBA, require conditional use permit approval under Chapter 17.404 DMC.

5. Uses that the city planning official determines could be objectionable in relationship to surrounding residential or commercial uses, due to odor, dust, smoke, cinders, fumes, noise, glare, heat, vibration, or similar impacts, shall not be permitted without approval of a conditional use permit; and all such potential adverse impacts shall be mitigated through the project design and specific conditions of approval.
6. All other applicable standards of this code shall be met. All sign requirements of Chapter 17.306 DMC shall be met. [Ord. 534-2014 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].
