18.40.010 Purpose.¶
This chapter lists the uses that may be permitted within the office and commercial zoning districts, the type of permit or approval required for each use, and basic development standards for the site and building. The purpose of each district is as follows:
A. CO – Community Office. The CO district is applied to areas of the city appropriate for a mix of small-scale single and multiple tenant businesses, professional, and medical offices in low-rise buildings that are compatible with adjacent residential areas. Building intensity may be up to 1.0 FAR. Residential uses consistent with the residential medium density may also be allowed. The CO district is found along major thoroughfares including portions of East Street, Salvio Street, Willow Pass Road, Clayton Road, Oak Grove Road, Treat Boulevard, and Monument Boulevard. The CO district is consistent with and implements the community office (CO) land use designation of the general plan.
B. CMX – Commercial Mixed-Use. The CMX district is applied to areas of the city appropriate for an integrated mix of neighborhood commercial uses, including retail and personal services on lots 10,000 square feet or larger, and offices at up to 1.0 FAR, together with or adjacent to residential uses at densities ranging from 11 to 40 units per net acre. The CMX district includes retail, office, and residential properties, and is primarily located along portions of Clayton Road, Monument Boulevard, and Willow Pass Road. The CMX district is consistent with and implements the commercial mixed-use (CMU) land use designation of the general plan.
C. NC – Neighborhood Commercial. The NC district is applied to areas of the city appropriate for neighborhood shopping centers including retail and personal service uses up to 0.35 FAR. The NC district is applied to neighborhood shopping centers including Clayton Valley Shopping Center, Dana Plaza, Olivera Crossings, Oak Grove Plaza, and Solano Plaza. The NC district allows residential uses on the second floor at densities up to 24 dwelling units per net acre. The NC district is consistent with and implements the neighborhood commercial (NC) land use designation of the general plan.
D. SC – Service Commercial. The SC district is applied to areas of the city appropriate for commercial uses such as automobile services, auto-oriented uses, light industry, contractors’ yards, and building materials storage, at up to 0.8 FAR. The SC district also allows retail, personal service, restaurant, and offices uses. The SC district is found on Monument Boulevard, Detroit Avenue, Cloverdale Avenue, on the east side of Market Street south of Concord Avenue, and Galaxy Way at Via de Mercados. The SC district provides areas for uses that typically require outdoor storage and activities with higher volumes of truck traffic, noise, and visual impacts. The SC district is consistent with and implements the service commercial (SC) land use designation of the general plan.
E. RC – Regional Commercial. The RC district is applied to areas of the city appropriate for a mix of regional-scale commercial uses, including regional shopping centers, big box retail, new automobile dealerships, and associated services at up to 0.5 FAR. The RC district is applied to areas with good freeway access, including Sunvalley Shopping Center and the Willows Shopping Center along I-680, Lowe’s and the Solano Drive-In Theater off Highway 4, along the west side of Market Street, and along Concord Avenue between Highway 242 and Interstate 680. The RC district is consistent with and implements the regional commercial (RC) land use designation of the general plan. [Ord. 17-11 § 3 (Exh. 8); Ord. 12-4. DC 2012 § 122-130].
