Long Beach Municipal Code Div. I Permitted Uses

A. Table 33-2 shall be used to determine applicable use regulations in the industrial districts. Table 33-2 establishes general classes of uses. For each category, the table indicates whether the class of use is permitted by right (Y); not permitted (N); permitted subject to an administrative use permit (AP) as defined in Chapter 21.25, Division IV (Administrative Use Permits) of this Title; or permitted subject to conditional use permit review (C) pursuant to Chapter 21.25, Division II (Conditional Use Permits) of this Title. All projects within the Coastal Zone are also subject to the Local Coastal Program and provisions as set forth in Chapter 21.25 Division IX.

B. The uses identified in Table 33-2 are more precisely defined by reference to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual published by the federal government's Office of Management and Budget. The 1987 SIC Manual, or the most current edition of the manual, as amended, is incorporated herein by reference. The SIC Manual identifies businesses according to the operating characteristics involved in creating the product (for example, slaughtering, manufacturing pulp, manufacturing industrial inorganic chemicals, petroleum refining) and the effects that these characteristics may have on nearby uses. The actual product created is of secondary importance. For reference purposes, Table 33-1 lists two (2) digit SIC codes and the associated categories of use.

C. The "notes and exceptions" column of the table indicates more precisely the use regulations for specific SIC codes or operating characteristics. The notes and exceptions must be reviewed in conjunction with the other information for that class of use.

D. For uses or activities not specifically identified in Table 33-2, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and assign the appropriate SIC code for that use or activity. The decision of the Zoning Administrator can be appealed to the Planning Commission pursuant to Chapter 21.21, Division V (Appeals) of this Title.

(ORD-20-0025 § 8, 2020; Ord. C-7360 § 3, 1995)

Any use or activity not identified by an SIC code included in Table 33-2, or any use or activity not interpreted by the Zoning Administrator as belonging to a listed SIC code, shall be prohibited.

(Ord. C-7360 § 3, 1995)

A. This Section applies to those use categories in Table 33-2 classified as "Y/AP" and "Y/C" within specified industrial districts. "Y/AP" shall mean that the use is permitted by right unless the location criteria contained in Subsection 21.33.080.C apply to the project, in which case administrative use permit (AP) review shall be required pursuant to Chapter 21.25, Division IV of this Title. "Y/C" shall mean a use is permitted by right unless the location criteria contained in Subsection 21.33.080.C apply to the project, in which case conditional use permit (C) review shall be required pursuant to Chapter 21.25, Division II of this Title.

B. The Zoning Administrator shall be authorized to determine whether a use identified in Table 33-2 as "Y/AP" or "Y/C" is permitted by right or requires discretionary review based on the criteria defined in this Section.

C. The location of a proposed industrial use relative to residentially-zoned property shall represent the sole factor for determining whether discretionary review is required pursuant to this Section. If any building housing the principal proposed use in an industrial district, or any outdoor activity which represents the principal use of the property, is located three hundred feet (300′) or less from the nearest residential district (see Figure 33-1), then administrative use permit or conditional use permit review shall be required, as indicated in Table 33-2.

All projects within the Coastal Zone are also subject to the Local Coastal Program and provisions as set forth in Chapter 21.25 Division IX.

Use, operating, and other regulations contained outside of Title 20 and Title 21 are not certified by the California Coastal Commission.

NOTE: All uses are subject to performance standards as defined in Section 21.33.090.

The SIC uses are considered here primarily according to the operational characteristics involved in creating the product (e.g., slaughtering, manufacturing pulp, manufacturing industrial inorganic chemicals, petroleum refining) and the effects that these operations may have on nearby uses. The actual product created is of secondary importance. The requirement for a conditional use permit does not presuppose that a proposed use will present adverse impacts, but that the public should be informed of the proposed use and be given the opportunity to comment on the proposal at a public hearing.

C-7360 § 3, 1995)

A. Purpose. The performance standards established in this Section are intended to ensure that industrial/manufacturing uses operate in a manner that protects the public health and safety, and which does not produce adverse impacts on nearby properties nor the community at large. The standards in this Section apply to all industrial/manufacturing districts. The Director of Planning and Building shall be authorized to interpret the performance standards.

B. Standards May Be Changed. Ongoing scientific and technological advances related to the identification and measurement of impacts require that these performance standards remain up to date. These standards may be modified from time to time as required by technological changes.

C. Noise Standards. All uses and activities shall comply with the noise regulations contained in Chapter 8.80 (Noise) of the City of Long Beach Municipal Code.

D. Hours of Operation Standards. Between the hours of ten (10:00) p.m. and seven (7:00) a.m., industrial businesses shall discontinue operations that produce noise levels at the nearest residential district or hospital property line higher than those permitted under Chapter 8.80 (Noise) of the Municipal Code.

E. Light and Glare Standards. All lighting, reflective surfaces, or any other source of illumination shall not produce adverse effects on public streets or on any other parcel. Lights shall be shielded at lot lines so as not to be directly visible from any adjoining residential district.

F. On-Site Containment of Materials and Waste. No material or waste shall be deposited on a property in such a form or manner that it may be transferred off the property by natural causes or forces such as wind or rain. All materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust, or which constitute a fire hazard, or which may be edible by or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects, shall be stored outdoors only in closed containers approved by the Director of Planning and Building.
