19.28.020 - Intent and purpose.

A.

The limited manufacturing zone is intended to provide for and encourage planned industrial districts, compatible with surrounding or abutting residential zones which would not in any way depreciate the character of the community. Uses are to be confined to those administrative, wholesaling, warehousing and manufacturing activities that can be carried on in an unobtrusive manner and to certain accessory facilities that are necessary to serve employees in the zone. Regulations provide for suitable open space, landscaping, access, parking and loading. A low intensity of development and strict performance standards are required to insure unobtrusive operations.

B.

No industrial use shall be permitted which by its nature of development or operation will in any way adversely affect the environment of the community.

(Ord. 270 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 9410.1.)

19.28.030 - Principally permitted uses. ¶

A.

The limited manufacturing zone is intended as limited manufacturing districts for restricted manufacturing uses, administrative or executive offices of business or industrial concerns, scientific research offices and laboratories and certain uses to and compatible with the district. Manufacturing uses are intended to be limited to the fabrication, assembly, compounding, processing or packaging of materials which are in a processed form and which do not in their maintenance, assembly, or manufacture, create smoke, gas, odor, dust, sound, vibration, soot or lighting which might be termed obnoxious or offensive to persons residing or

conducting business in either this or any other zone in the city. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this title, any and every new use and any and every new building and premises or land in an L-M zone shall be used for or occupied, and every building shall be erected, constructed, established, owned, enlarged, maintained, moved into or within such L-M zone exclusively only in accordance with the regulations set out in this chapter.

B.

The description of principally permitted uses is illustrative of the types of uses which shall be permitted in the L-M zone and is not intended to be exclusive. Uses not listed may be permitted by the planning commission if determined to be of a similar nature and compatible with the specifically permitted uses. Uses which shall not reasonably comply with the levels of performance accepted in the L-M zone shall not be permitted to locate therein.

(Ord. 270 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 9410.2.)

19.28.040 - Uses permitted.

No building or improvements, or portion thereof, shall be erected, constructed, converted, established, altered or enlarged, nor shall a lot or premises be used until a development plan has been submitted to, and approved by, the planning commission. All such uses shall be within an enclosed building unless so stated otherwise. However, any use listed as permitted and proposed to be located in an existing structure may be approved by the planning director after the use has been reviewed and determined to be compatible.

A.

Intersection Visibility at Uncontrolled Intersections.

1.

At intersections where traffic is not required to stop on any approach, there shall be no visual obstruction within the corner cutoff area of any corner lot. The corner setback shall be defined by a line on a horizontal plane connecting two points along the front and side street property lines and forming a triangle. These points shall be measured fifty feet back from the intersection or the prolongation of the front and street side property lines. Properties that were approved or developed prior to April 26, 1995 shall be considered exempt and may continue to be subject to the comer setback of thirty feet as measured from the front and side lot line.

2.

Projects which are located in a planned development area with private streets would be considered under a residential planned development permit subject to review and approval by the planning commission. However, intersecting streets from the private project to the public street shall comply with the corner cutback provision or include appropriate traffic control measures approved by the city.

B.

Intersection Visibility at Controlled Intersections. At controlled intersections, the procedure for providing the "sight triangle" which is the area to be clear of obstruction for sight distance at controlled intersections shall be in accordance with Caltrans Design Manual (Figure 1, set out at the end of this section, illustrates the sight triangle). The manual specifies a driver eye height of 3.5 feet, an approaching vehicle height of 4.25 feet, a driver's eye setback of fourteen feet from the flowline (four-foot stop bar setback plus ten-foot eye setback from the stop bar) and the sight distances included in Table 1. Within the sight triangle, all objects shall be below three feet in height and above seven feet in height. In cases where providing intersection sight distance is unreasonable due to site characteristics as determined by the director of engineering services and the director of planning and community development, adjustment can be made as long as a safe stopping sight distance can be provided. Examples of unreasonably costly conditions

shall be below three feet in height and above seven feet in height. In cases where providing intersection sight distance is unreasonable due to site characteristics as determined by the director of engineering services and the director of planning and community development, adjustment can be made as long as a safe stopping sight distance can be provided. Examples of unreasonably costly conditions

include areas where a wall or building exists on an adjoining lot or in hillside areas where extreme grading would be necessary.

19.44.010 - Purpose. ¶

The purposes of this chapter include:

A.

To establish parking standards to effectively regulate the design of parking facilities including the requirement of providing the necessary number of parking spaces for various land uses.

B.

To assure that an adequate number of spaces is available to accommodate the anticipated demand and to lessen traffic congestion and adverse impacts on surrounding properties.

C.

To maximize compatibility between adjoining uses.

D.

To promote vehicular and pedestrian safety.

(Ord. No. 1054, § 3(Att. No. 1), 5-12-2010)

19.44.020 - General provisions. ¶

A.

The off-street parking requirements of this chapter apply at the time of the construction, alteration, intensification, change in use or occupant load, or change in form of ownership of a building or use. As used in this chapter, "change in form of ownership" means conversion of all or a portion of a project to condominiums, community apartments, stock cooperatives or other similar forms of ownership.

B.

Off-street parking must be maintained in connection with any existing building or use so long as the building or use remains unless an equivalent substitute number of such spaces are provided and thereafter maintained in conformance to the requirements of this chapter.

C.

Where off-street parking space in connection with a building or use does not conform to the requirements of this chapter, then the building or structure may not be altered, extended, expanded, nor may its form of ownership be changed, unless the current parking requirements of this chapter are satisfied. Any such nonconforming use that is discontinued for one year may not reestablish unless the use complies with the provisions of this chapter.

D.

A parking space is an area for the parking of a motor vehicle plus such additional areas as required to provide for safe ingress to and egress from the space.

E.

The area set aside to meet the parking requirements of this chapter must be usable and must have permanent access.

F.

Where multiple uses are provided, the required parking must satisfy the individual and cumulative needs of that complex and provide the minimum number of parking spaces necessary to serve the various uses except as otherwise provided for mixed-use developments. If the parking area is reserved or restricted to a particular use, such reservation or restriction must be strictly limited to a period of time and not to a particular use. Any such limitation requires the city's prior written approval and must remain in force as long as deemed necessary by the city to meet the requirements of this chapter.

G.

Uses that include service vehicles must provide parking spaces above the minimum number of spaces required by this chapter. This is to ensure that adequate space for the employees and customers will be maintained on-site.

H.

Required off-street parking spaces and parking areas may be used only for parking operable vehicles of residents, employers, employees, customers and visitors as appropriate to the allowed uses of the applicable zone.

I.

All off-street parking spaces and aisles must be kept clear of any temporary or permanent obstructions.

(Ord. No. 1054, § 3(Att. No. 1), 5-12-2010)

19.44.025 - Computation of parking requirements. ¶

A.

The floor area calculation will be based on the gross floor area of the building or use except where otherwise provided.

B.

Corridors, lobbies, conference rooms, stairways, restrooms, elevator and mechanical shafts, and unmanned electrical or mechanical rooms will be excluded from the square footage when computing floor area for parking purposes.

C.

The floor area includes exterior walls but excludes exterior areas.

D.

Employee only kitchens, lunchrooms, exercise rooms, and locker rooms will be excluded from the square footage when computing floor area for parking purposes.

E.

Any fractional spaces over fifty percent will be construed as one full space.

F.

In any place of public assembly utilizing benches, pews, or other non-individualized seating structure, each eighteen-inch section of such structure will be construed as one seat.

G.

A building or portion of a building devoted to off-street parking will have no off-street parking requirements.

H.

In the case of mixed uses in a building or on a lot, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities will be the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately. Off-street parking facilities for one use will not be considered as providing required parking facilities for any other use except as specified in this chapter for common facilities or joint uses.

I.

Projects or uses within one-half a mile of the Camarillo Metrolink station are subject to the requirements of California Government Code section 65863.2 as may be amended from time to time.

Chapter 19.47 - Lighting Regulations

19.47.010 - Purpose and intent. ¶

The purpose of this chapter is to provide regulation of exterior lighting systems constructed on properties within the various zones in the city, and the regulations are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The city recognizes that lighting has both a practical and aesthetic value and is an integral portion of any development. The city also recognizes that improperly installed lighting, illegal lighting, or improperly maintained lighting, creates impacts within the community, creates conflicts and nuisance impacts upon abutting properties, and is wasteful of energy resources by causing energy to be expended without producing additional useful light. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to permit lighting consistent with the regulations and in a manner consistent with the city's general plan, including the community design element.

(Ord. No. 2004, § 18(Att. A), 1-11-2023)

19.47.020 - Definitions. ¶

The following terms when used in this chapter have the meaning provided in this section:

"Correlated color temperature" means the temperature, measured in Kelvin (K), to which one would have to heat a "black body" source to produce light of similar spectral characteristics as specified by the lamp or luminaire manufacturer. Low color temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature implies a colder (more blue) light.

"Foot-Candle" means the illuminance produced on a surface one foot from a uniform point source of one candela, measured by a light meter.

"Glare" means an effect produced by lighting sufficient to cause annoyance, discomfort, or loss in visual performance and visibility. For the purposes of this chapter, glare occurs when a lamp is directly viewable from a location off the property that it serves.

"Human scale" means the proportional relationship of a particular building, structure, or streetscape element to human form and function.

"Lamp" means the light-producing element or light source of a luminaire. Examples are bulbs and tubes.

"Lighting system" means a luminaire, as installed.

"Light trespass" means light emitted by a lighting system which causes glare, spillover or otherwise shines beyond the boundaries of the property, or property lines on which the lighting system is installed or is found to create a nuisance to abutting residences, adjacent open-space areas or upon the public right-of-way.

"Lumen" means the unit of luminous flux equal to the light emitted in a unit solid angle by a uniform point source of one candle intensity. One Foot-Candle is equal to one Lumen per square foot. One lux is equal to one Lumen per square meter.

"Luminaire" means the complete lighting unit, often referred to as a light fixture. It consists of the lamp, optical reflector and housing, and electrical components for safely starting and operating the lamp.

"Maintained lighting" values refers to the lumens or foot-candles predicted or measured from a lamp or lighting system at the mid-life of the lamp and must account of the expected drop in lumen output from the lamp, as well as normal dust on the lens of the luminaire.

"Residential zones" includes residential zoned properties within the R-E Rural Exclusive Residential Zone (Chapter 19.12), R-1 Single-Family Residential Zone (Chapter 19.14), RPD Residential Planned Development Zone (Chapter 19.16) and MHPD Mobilehome Park Development Zone (Chapter 19.18).

"Spillover" means an occurrence when any amount of light that falls outside the property boundaries, or property lines.

(Ord. No. 2004, § 18(Att. A), 1-11-2023)

19.47.030 - Applicability.

The regulations contained within this chapter apply in all zones and specific plan areas within the city except all light fixtures within the public right of way. These regulations are intended to augment lighting standards, regulations, and design guidelines in adopted specific plans and the community design element of the general plan.

(Ord. No. 2004, § 18(Att. A), 1-11-2023)

19.47.040 - General requirements.

A.

Lighting permitted must be limited to those levels necessary to provide safety and security to the property.

B.

Use of low intensity lighting for aesthetic purposes in order to enhance or accent building features, public art, or landscape architectural features is encouraged. Such lighting must not cause light trespass.

C.

Energy efficient lighting must be used to the extent possible. The use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source is highly encouraged for all lighting applications for energy efficiency and optical control.

D.

All lighting systems must meet adopted codes and standards of the city as well as current California Green Building Standards Code and California Energy Code requirements.

E.

All lighting system components must be kept in good repair and service. Periodic cleaning, painting and servicing of supports, globes, fixtures and foundations is required. Poor maintenance is considered a public

nuisance.

F.

Lighting systems in every zone must, as a performance standard, be directed, oriented and shielded to prevent light trespass and must comply with all requirements set forth in this chapter.

(Ord. No. 2004, § 18(Att. A), 1-11-2023)

A.

Centralized or coordinated assessment. Once the continuum of care has developed a centralized assessment system or a coordinated assessment system in accordance with requirements to be established by HUD, each emergency solutions grant (ESG)-funded program or project within the continuum of care's area must use that assessment system. The recipient and subrecipient must work with the continuum of care to ensure the screening, assessment and referral of program participants are consistent with the written standards below. A victim service provider may choose not to use the continuum of care's centralized or coordinated assessment system.

1.

Written standards for providing ESG assistance.

(a)

If the recipient is a metropolitan city, urban county, or territory, the recipient must have written standards for providing Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) assistance and must consistently apply those standards for all program participants. The recipient must describe these standards in its consolidated plan.

(b)

If the recipient is a state:

(1)

The recipient must establish and consistently apply, or require that its subrecipients establish and consistently apply, written standards for providing ESG assistance. If the written standards are established by the subrecipients, the recipient may require these written standards to be:

(i)

Established for each area covered by a continuum of care or area over which the services are coordinated and followed by each subrecipient providing assistance in that area; or

(ii)

Established by each subrecipient and applied consistently within the subrecipient's program.

(2)

Written standards developed by the state must be included in the state's consolidated plan. If the written standards are developed by its subrecipients, the recipient must describe its requirements for the establishment and implementation of these standards in the state's consolidated plan.

(c)

At a minimum these written standards must include:

(1)

Standard policies and procedures for evaluating individuals' and families' eligibility for assistance under Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG);

(2)

Standards for targeting and providing essential services related to street outreach;

(3)

Policies and procedures for admission, diversion, referral, and discharge by emergency shelters assisted under ESG, including standards regarding length of stay, if any, and safeguards to meet the safety and shelter needs of special populations, e.g., victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking; and individuals and families who have the highest barriers to housing and are likely to be homeless the longest;

(4)

Policies and procedures for assessing, prioritizing, and reassessing individuals' and families' needs for essential services related to emergency shelter;

(5)

Policies and procedures for coordination among emergency shelter providers, essential services providers, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing assistance providers; other homeless assistance providers; and mainstream service and housing providers;

(6)

Policies and procedures for determining and prioritizing which eligible families and individuals will receive homelessness prevention assistance and which eligible families and individuals will receive rapid re-

housing assistance (these policies must include the emergency transfer priority required under 24 C.F.R.§ 576.409);

(7)

Standards for determining what percentage or amount of rent and utilities costs each program participant must pay while receiving homelessness prevention or rapid re-housing assistance;

(8)

Standards for determining how long a particular program participant will be provided with rental assistance and whether and how the amount of that assistance will be adjusted over time; and

(9)

Standards for determining the type, amount, and duration of housing stabilization and/or relocation services to provide to a program participant, including the limits, if any, on the homelessness prevention or rapid re-housing assistance that each program participant may receive, such as the maximum amount of assistance, maximum number of months the program participant receive assistance; or the maximum number of times the program participant may receive assistance.

B.

In consultation with recipients of Emergency Solutions Grants program funds within the geographic area, establish and operate either a centralized or coordinated assessment system that provides an initial, comprehensive assessment of the needs of individuals and families for housing and services. The continuum must develop a specific policy to guide the operation of the centralized or coordinated assessment system on how its system will address the needs of individuals and families who are fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, but who are seeking shelter or services from nonvictim service providers. This system must comply with any requirements established by HUD by notice.

to guide the operation of the centralized or coordinated assessment system on how its system will address the needs of individuals and families who are fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, but who are seeking shelter or services from nonvictim service providers. This system must comply with any requirements established by HUD by notice.

"Homeless management information system" (HMIS) has the same definition as Section 578.3 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as may be amended from time to time, and means the information system designated by the Continuum of Care to comply with the HMIS requirements prescribed by the U.S. Department of Affordable Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

"Use by right" has the same definition as Government Code § 65583.2, as may be amended from time to time, and means that no discretionary review or approval, including a conditional use permit or a planned development, that would constitute a "project" for purposes of Public Resources Code Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) is required. Notwithstanding, any subdivision of the site is subject to all laws, including, without limitation, the Subdivision Map Act.
