Why didn't they just ordinance the noise or the improper disposal of chemicals if those are their concerns? Local laws always seem so reactionary and poorly thought out.

Try attending a few City Council meetings, and observe the mental acuity and time frames of the Council members, and citizens who speak up during Public Comments.
Likely because those are not their "real" concerns, but they can't legislate their "real" concerns (because those would be illegal due to other statutes). So they try an 'end-run' around the "real" concerns by dreaming up something vague like this that can be "extended" to cover most anything at the discretion of the local enforcement officer.
