2060 CONSISTENT USE REGULATION.


A consistent Use Regulation as indicated by the symbol (●) is a Use Regulation which is
consistent with the indicated Land Use Designation to which it is applied unless precluded by the
General Plan, Community Plan or Specific Plan with consideration given to terrain, access,
hazards, community character, lot configuration, lot size, drainage, adjacent land use, traffic
congestion, noise, air pollution, other factors affecting health, safety or welfare or any other
relevant issue.

(Added by Ord. No. 10217 (N.S.) adopted 7-25-12)

2070 SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.


A Use Regulation as indicated by the symbol (o) is a Use Regulation which may be applied in
special circumstances with a corresponding Land Use Designation and shall meet one of the
following:

a. The existing Use Regulation was in effect prior to the adoption of the current Land Use
Designation; or

b. The property or area meets the findings in Section 2072 below.

(Added by Ord. No. 10217 (N.S.) adopted 7-25-12)

2072 SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES REGULATIONS.


The following findings shall be met in order to find that a Use Regulation is consistent under
Special Circumstances with the compatibility matrix, Section 2050:

a. The Use Regulation is consistent with the applicable community plan.

b. The Use Regulation is consistent with, or applied under special circumstances in, the
majority of Land Use Designations that border the subject parcel(s).

c. The Use Regulation is compatible with the surrounding land uses, with consideration given
to:

1. Density or intensity of potential uses;

2. Availability of public facilities, services and utilities;

3. Harmony with the neighborhood character;

4. Capacity and character of surrounding streets; and

5. Any other relevant impact of the potential use.

7-12
2072

d. A General Plan Amendment to an appropriate Land Use Designation that would allow for
the Use Regulation to be consistent and therefore not a special circumstance, is infeasible
as determined by the Director after consideration of the General Plan and applicable
Community Plan.

e. Additionally, a study shall be submitted by the applicant that the proposed Use Regulation
meets at least one of the following:

1. There is a demonstrated need for the potential uses of the proposed Use
Regulation and there is insufficient land suitably zoned in the Community Planning
Area to meet the demonstrated need. Additionally, the application of the proposed
Use Regulation would not result in a scarcity of the existing Use Regulation within
the community planning area or;

2. The site characteristics make it physically impossible to implement uses allowed


with the existing Use Regulation. Such constraints may include, but are not limited
to lot configuration, lot size, topography, drainage, adjacent land use, access,
traffic congestion, noise, air pollution or other factors affecting health, safety or
welfare.

The study submitted subject to e.1 or e.2 shall be reviewed by the Director and included
as part of the rezone findings for consideration.

facilities. Certain non- recreational commercial uses may be permitted within the zone as long as
they support the dominant residential recreational character of the area.

construction of 4 or less single-family dwellings or 2 or less two-family dwellings, shall require site
plan review in accordance with the Site Plan Review Procedure commencing at Section 7150 and
the following guidelines.

proposed buildings and structures, and their relationship to existing buildings and
structures located on the development site.

2. The location, size and use of all existing and proposed recreation facilities.

3. The internal circulation plan of the development site, including the location, size and
capacity of all roads and driveways, parking areas, pedestrian walkways, and bicycle
paths, and the relationship of this plan to the existing circulation pattern of the area
surrounding the development site.

4. The location, size and type of all existing vegetation and all proposed landscaping.

recreation facilities, with respect to their uses and activities, shall functionally relate to
each other and mutually support a residential recreation character.

2. The internal circulation plan shall provide adequate and convenient access to all
buildings, structures, and recreation facilities located on the development site and
shall give priority to pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths.

3. The internal circulation plan shall conform to and, where possible, strengthen the
existing circulation pattern of the area surrounding the development site.

4. The proposed landscaping should be compatible with existing landscaping and


should take into consideration the appropriateness of selected plant materials to the
area. Landscaping and planting should be used to the maximum extent practical to
screen unsightly parking, storage and utility areas. Landscaping and plantings
should not obstruct significant views, either when installed or when they reach mature
growth.

C34 GENERAL COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL USE REGULATIONS

2340 INTENT.
The provisions of Section 2340 through 2349, inclusive, shall be known as the C34 General
Commercial/Residential Use Regulations. The C34 Use Regulations are intended to create and
enhance areas where a mixture of commercial uses and residential uses is desired. Typically, the
C34 Use Regulations would be applied in areas where multi-family dwellings in combination with
commercial uses are desired. Various applications of the C34 Use Regulations with appropriate
development designators can create areas where a single structure may serve a principal
commercial function and a secondary residential use, or where a separate residential or a
commercial structure is appropriate.

2341 SITE PLAN REVIEW REQUIRED.


All development within the C34 General Commercial/Residential Use Regulations, except
developments containing only residential or civic uses, shall require site plan review in
accordance with the Site Plan Review Procedure commencing at Section 7150 and the following
guidelines.

a. Content of the Site Plan. A site plan required by this section shall contain such maps,
plans, drawings and sketches as are necessary to show:

1. The location, use and entrances and exits of all proposed buildings and structures
and their relationship to existing buildings and structures located on and in the
immediate vicinity of the development site.

2. The internal circulation of the development site, including the location, size, and
capacity of all roads and driveways, parking areas, pedestrian walkways, and bicycle
paths, and the relationship of this plan to the existing circulation pattern of the area
surrounding the development site.

3. The location, size and type of all existing vegetation and all proposed landscaping.

b. Relationship to Subdivision Ordinance. Any tentative map or tentative parcel map which is
required by the Subdivision Ordinance shall be used to the maximum extent possible in
satisfying the requirements of subsection "a" of this section.

c. Standards and Criteria. The following standards and criteria shall be followed by the
Director in his review and evaluation of a site plan required by this section.
2341

1. Proposed uses, including uses within a mixed residential/commercial development,


shall be functionally and visually compatible with one another and with other uses,
buildings and structures in the immediate vicinity.

2. The internal circulation plan shall provide adequate and convenient access to the
variety of uses contained within the development site. Common access serving more
than one use or facility shall be provided whenever possible and in a manner which
prevents mutual interference.

3. The internal circulation plan shall conform to and, where possible, strengthen the
existing circulation pattern of the area surrounding the development site.

4. The proposed landscaping should be compatible with existing landscaping and


should take into consideration the appropriateness of selected plant materials to the
area. Landscaping and plantings should be used to the maximum extent practical to
screen unsightly parking, storage and utility areas. Landscaping and plantings
should not obstruct significant views, either when installed or when they reach mature
growth.

d. Exemption for Signs. A site plan shall not be required for addition of new signs or
modification of existing signs, provided the site is not subject to an approved site plan that
designates sign location and that all such signs comply with all other pertinent requirements
of this ordinance. This exemption shall not apply to any site subject to the Community
Design Review, Historic Landmark, Historic District, or Design Review Special Area
Regulations.

2460 INTENT.
The provisions of Section 2460 through Section 2469, inclusive, shall be known as the C46
Medical Center Use Regulations. The C46 Use Regulations are intended to create and enhance
areas where a concentration of medical and other compatible uses is desired. Typically, the C46
Use Regulations would be applied to areas where there is a desire to discourage use by
non-medical associated uses and where a community of a size sufficient to support a medical
center exists or is planned. Various applications of the C46 Use Regulations, with appropriate
development designators, can create major regional medical centers, including hospitals, medical
office buildings, laboratories, and other supportive commercial and service facilities, or small
community medical centers whose scale would more clearly reflect the needs of the immediate
area.

(Renumbered by Ord. No. 5508 (N.S.) adopted 5-16-79. Formerly 2840)

2461 SITE PLAN REVIEW REQUIRED.

guidelines.

a. Content of the Site Plan. A site plan required by this section shall contain such maps,
plans, drawings, documents, and sketches as are necessary to show:

1. The location, use, entrances and exits of all proposed buildings and structures.

2. The projected scale of operations and service loads of the development as related to
their expected impact on the area immediately surrounding the development site.

3. The internal circulation plan of the development site, including the location, size, and
capacity of all roads and driveways, parking areas, pedestrian walkways, and bicycle
paths, and the relationship of this plan to the existing circulation pattern of the area
surrounding the development site.

4. The location, size and type of all existing vegetation and all proposed landscaping.

3-93
2461

b. Relationship to Subdivision Ordinance. Any Tentative Map or Tentative Parcel Map which
is required by the Subdivision Ordinance shall be used to the maximum extent possible in
satisfying the requirements of subsection "a" of this section.

c. Standards and Criteria. The following standards and criteria shall be followed by the
Director in his review and evaluation of a Site Plan required by this section.

1. The overall physical design of the project, with respect to the interior placement and
siting of buildings and structures, shall mitigate the adverse impacts of the
development on the immediately surrounding area.

2. The internal circulation plan shall provide adequate and convenient access to all
buildings and structures contained within the development.

3. The internal circulation plan shall conform to and, where possible, strengthen the
existing circulation pattern of the area surrounding the development site.

4. The proposed landscaping should be compatible with existing landscaping and


should take into consideration the appropriateness of selected plant materials to the
area. Landscaping and plantings should be used to the maximum extent practical to
screen unsightly parking, storage and utility areas. Landscaping and plantings
should not obstruct significant views, either when installed or when they reach mature
growth.

M54 GENERAL IMPACT INDUSTRIAL USE REGULATIONS

2540 INTENT.
The provisions of Section 2540 through Section 2549, inclusive, shall be known as the M54
General Impact Industrial Use Regulations. The M54 Use Regulations are intended to create and
preserve areas where manufacturing and industrial uses not having high nuisance characteristics
may locate. Non-industrial uses which support industrial uses are permitted within the zone,
particularly administrative, sales, and services uses. Typically, the M54 Use Regulations would
be applied near rail and trucking facilities, or other locations where impacts associated with noise,
odor and traffic would not impact on residential or commercial areas. All outdoor storage areas
would be subject to screening regulations in Section 6706. Various applications of the M54 Use
Regulations with appropriate development designators can create a large

M56 MIXED INDUSTRIAL USE REGULATIONS

2560 INTENT.
The provisions of Section 2550 through 2579, inclusive, shall be known as the M56 Mixed
Industrial Use Regulations, (M56 Use Regulations). The M56 Use Regulations will create an
industrial area, and a maximum of five percent of each lot to be designated as support commercial
area. The right to develop a support commercial area shall be transferable. The M56 Use
Regulations will generally be applied to large areas of 100 or more acres, where a unified
appearance can be created. A Specific Plan will be required prior to or concurrent with each
rezone to address the availability of public facilities. The types of uses in the M56 Use
Regulations will include industrial plants that are primarily engaged in the manufacturing,
compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, treatment, warehousing or fabrication of
materials or products, and commercial use types necessary to support those uses. Site
development will be reviewed for compliance with a Design review manual adopted for the area.

2561 SUPPORT COMMERCIAL AREA.


Support commercial areas shall be designated, and the transfer of the rights to develop support
commercial area shall be subject to the following requirements.

a. Designation of Commercial Area. Each lot in the specific plan area shall be granted a
maximum of five percent of commercial use. At the time of application for a building permit,
the applicant shall apply for an administrative permit indicating what portion of the site will
be reserved for commercial use, and the location of the parking to be reserved for the use.
If no area is designated through the administrative permit process at the time the lot is
initially developed, the owner retains the right to make such designation at a later date.
Additionally, the applicant may relinquish the permit at any time by making an application
for relinquishment to the Director. When an applicant has either chosen not to use the right
to develop the commercial area of the property or has relinquished the administrative permit
to develop the area as a commercial use, the right may be transferred to another property
through the process described in subsection b of this section.

b. Transfer of Designated Commercial Area. Commercial development rights shall be


transferable. Transfer shall only be to a site located within the contiguous area within which
the M56 use regulation has been applied. The transfer shall not result in more than ten
percent of any one site being utilized for support commercial development.

7-99
2561

Prior to completing any transfers of development rights, the applicant shall obtain written approval
from the Director. No purported transfer shall be of any force or effect without the Director's
approval. The applicant shall notify the Department of the completion of the transfer on a form
prescribed by the Department, and such notification shall be recorded. Failure to comply with the
Department's requirements for notification shall be grounds for refusal to issue building permits.

2569 SPECIFIC PLAN REQUIRED.


The M56 Use Regulations may be made applicable to any property for which a Specific Plan has
been adopted. Alternatively, the provisions of the M56 Use Regulations may be adopted as a part
of any Specific Plan. The Specific Plan required by these regulations shall address the availability
of public facilities, including but not limited to sewer, water, fire protection and roads.
Performance standards shall be included within the Specific Plan to assure that there are
adequate public facilities to serve the proposed development. If the necessary facilities are not
available, or are fully utilized according to the adopted performance standards, no further building
permits shall be issued for any new or expanded commercial or industrial uses. In addition, the
Specific Plan shall establish a maximum limit to the total area to be devoted to the support
commercial uses. Said commercial uses shall not exceed, and may be less than the five percent
that is otherwise allowed by the zone.

2570 ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW REQUIRED.


No permit of any type shall be issued for the construction or alteration of any building or structure,
nor shall any person construct or alter a building or structure, nor shall any new use be
established in areas subject to the M56 Use Regulations until an Administrative Design Review
has been approved as conforming to the criteria of a Design Manual which has been adopted by
the Board of Supervisors. Alterations to the interior of a structure which are not visible from the
exterior of the structure are exempt from the requirement for review. An applicant may chose to
submit a site plan rather than an administrative design review application if the project does not
comply with the specific requirements of the Design Manual, but the applicant is of the opinion
that the project does comply with the intent of the Design Manual. A separate manual shall be
adopted for each separate area when the M56 Use Regulations are applied and shall

10-09
2570

reflect the concerns of that area. An existing Community Design Manual may be adopted to serve
as the Design Manual. The Design Manual shall require the preservation of environmental
resources that are identified as being significant, including wildlife habitat and open space.

2571 WAIVER OF ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW.


The administrative design review required by Section 2570 may be waived by the Director if it is
determined that the nature of the proposed project is such that subjecting it to the review process
would not materially contribute to the attainment of the objectives and guidelines set forth in the
applicable Design Manual.

a. In making a decision on waiver of an administrative design review due consideration shall


be given to the recommendation of the Community Planning/Subregional Planning Group,
Community Design Review Board or Property Owners Review Committee, whichever has
been designated as the review body as required by Section 2572.

b. The Director, upon receipt of a request for waiver of the administrative design review
requirement, shall provide a copy of said request to the review body for their
recommendation.

2572 DESIGNATION BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF REVIEW BODY.


The Board of Supervisors shall designate a review body to review all applications for
administrative design review. Such designation shall take place at such time as the M56 Use
Regulations are applied to any specific properties. Where there is a Community Planning Group,
Subregional Planning Group or Community Design Review Board, such group shall be designated
as the review body unless that body agrees to the appointment of a Property Owners Review
Committee and the Board of Supervisors so designates. Where there is no planning group or
design review board, a Property Owners Review Committee shall be appointed. The number of
members of such Property Owners Review Committee, their length of service and identities shall
be at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors. The members shall be owners of property wholly
or partly within the area affected by the M56 Use Regulations or shall be designated
representatives of a property owner.

2574 REVIEW OF APPLICATION BY THE DESIGNATED REVIEW BODY.


The Department of Planning and Development Services, upon receipt of an application for
administrative design review, shall provide a copy of said application to the designated review
body for their comments. The review body shall have 30 days to review the application and
respond with their recommendations.

2576

2576 DECISION BY THE DIRECTOR ON ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW.


The Director shall decide if the application complies with the requirements of the Design Manual
and issue that decision within 60 days of the initial application. A denial of the application may be
followed by an application for a site plan if the applicant feels that the overall intent of the design
requirements can be met by the project without the project being in strict compliance with the
requirements of the Design Manual.

2578 APPEAL OF DIRECTOR'S DECISION.


The Director's decision may be appealed pursuant to the appeal procedures commencing at
Section 7200.

M58 HIGH IMPACT INDUSTRIAL USE REGULATIONS

2580 INTENT.
The provisions of Section 2580 through Section 2589, inclusive, shall be known as the M58 High
Impact Industrial Use Regulations. The M58 Use Regulations are intended to create and
preserve areas where a full range of industrial uses with moderate to high nuisance
characteristics may locate. Typically, the M58 Use Regulations would be applied at locations
where large land acreages were available and where the impacts associated with unsightliness,
noise, odor, and traffic, and the hazards associated with certain industrial uses, would not impact
on residential or commercial areas. Various applications of the M58 Use Regulations with
appropriate development designators can create major heavy industrial centers or an area for a
single, large industrial use.

S94 TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITY CORRIDOR USE REGULATIONS

2940 INTENT.
The provisions of Section 2940 through 2949, inclusive, shall be known as the S94 Transportation
and Utility Corridor Use Regulations. The S94 Use Regulations are intended to create and protect
corridors for existing or future highways, railways, pipelines, other modes of transportation, and
facilities for transmission of electricity, gas, water and other materials and forms of energy. The
S94 Use Regulations are designed in recognition of the fact that transportation and utility facilities
can cause adverse impacts on surrounding residents and properties including, for example, noise,
vibration, emissions, pollutants, odors, visual appearance, detraction from natural scenic values,
electrical interference, and potential for hazards and disasters. Some facilities can also be
adversely affected by incompatible uses nearby. It is intended that these and other regulations be
applied in a manner that will create sufficient open space or buffering along corridors to mitigate
any adverse impacts of the facilities. The uses permitted are those which will not detract from the
corridor's primary purpose, will not involve large, permanent concentrations of people, and will not
adversely affect surrounding residents and properties. Various applications of the S94 Use
Regulations with appropriate development designators can preserve future corridors while
allowing appropriate interim uses, and permit suitable uses of land under powerlines, over buried
pipelines, or alongside railroads or highways.
