§ 2.04.01. Purpose and Intent.

[9-21-2022 by Ord. 1782]

The purposes of the non-residential zones are to:

  • A. Designate adequate land for commercial and industrial uses and growth consistent with the General Plan;

  • B. Maintain and strengthen the City's economic resources;

  • C. Provide a range of employment opportunities to meet the needs of current and future residents;

  • D. Designate adequate land for a full range of local- and regional-serving commercial and retail services consistent for residents, employees, and visitors;

  • E. Provide sufficient areas for a wide range of manufacturing, industrial processing, and service industrial uses and protect areas where such uses now exist; and

  • F. Ensure that appropriate site design and operational standards are in place to promote commerce while protecting health and safety and minimizing impacts on adjacent properties.

Additional purposes of each non-residential zone are as follows:

  • G. Regional Commercial (RC). The Regional Commercial (RC) zone provides for large-format retail development along with associated restaurant and commercial service activity. It is intended to accommodate retail, commercial, service, entertainment/amusement, and other regional- and visitor-serving amenities in areas near major freeway connections and around major intersections. This zone implements the Regional Commercial General Plan land use designation.

This zone provides for offices, business and industrial parks, research and development, warehouses, distribution centers, light manufacturing, public and quasi-public uses, and supportive commercial uses. This zone implements the Workforce and Employment District General Plan land use designation.

  • I. Heavy Industrial (IH). The Heavy Industrial (IH) zone is intended to accommodate manufacturing, processing, storage, and similar heavy industrial uses, including those which may create some objectionable conditions, and protect these areas from incompatible uses. This zone provides for manufacturing, processing, assembly, wholesale and storage uses, trucking terminals, railroad facilities, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses, subject to regulations needed to protect health and safety, adjoining properties, and the surrounding area. This zone implements the Workforce and Employment District General Plan land use designation.

uses. This zone provides for manufacturing, processing, assembly, wholesale and storage uses, trucking terminals, railroad facilities, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses, subject to regulations needed to protect health and safety, adjoining properties, and the surrounding area. This zone implements the Workforce and Employment District General Plan land use designation.

  • J. Resource Recovery (RR). The Resource Recovery (RR) zone applies to land where natural resource recovery and/or reclamation activities such as mining and extraction are primary land uses. This zone implements the Resource Recovery General Plan land use designation. All uses and development regulations shall be determined on a case-by-case basis.
