I'm dealing with something similar; I'm an environmental consultant, and one of my clients produces asphalt. We have this new regulation:
Quote:

No asphalt batching or continuous mix facility shall be located in an area which is less than one-third of a mile in linear distance from any hospital, nursing home, school, area of critical environmental concern, watercourse, or area occupied by residential housing.

I've also seen similar regulations regarding the siting of adult businesses. There ain't much left when you draw those circles on a map. Regulations like this are just a way to ban an activity while pretending that you aren't banning it.
