A. Subsection 6104.2, Maximum Capacity Within Established Limits, is hereby amended to read as follows:

6104.2 Maximum Capacity Within Established Limits

Within the limits established by law restricting the storage of liquefied petroleum gas for the protection of heavily populated or congested areas, identified as the Downtown Core area, the aggregate capacity of any one installation shall not exceed a water capacity of 2,000 gallons.

EXCEPTIONS:

1. In particular installations, this capacity limit shall be determined by the Fire Marshal, after consideration of special features such as topographical conditions, nature of occupancy, and proximity to buildings, capacity of proposed LP-gas containers, degree of fire protection to be provided and capabilities of the local fire department.

2. In the event of annexation, existing installations exceeding five hundred (500) gallons water capacity, but not exceeding two thousand (2,000) gallons water capacity, shall be allowed to continue. Those installations exceeding two thousand (2,000) gallons water capacity shall be allowed to continue for a period of two years from the effective date of annexation. After such time, the container over two thousand (2,000) gallons water capacity shall be emptied in the manner provided by law and removed from service. The container must be lawfully removed from the site within thirty (30) days.
