Chapter 13.26 — COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS

Loomis Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Loomis

§ 13.26.010. Purpose.

This chapter lists the land uses that may be allowed within the commercial zoning districts established by Section 13.20.020 , determines the type of land use permit/approval required for each use, and provides basic standards for site layout and building size. (Ord. 205 § 1 (Exh. A), 2003; Ord. 299, 11/12/2024)

§ 13.26.020. Purposes of commercial zoning districts.

The purposes of the individual commercial zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.

  • A. CO (Office Commercial) District. The CO zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for various types of office uses, together with similar and related compatible uses. The CO zoning district is consistent with and implements the office and professional land use designation of the general plan.

  • B. CG (General Commercial) District. The CG zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a range of retail and service land uses that primarily serve local residents and businesses, including shops, personal and business services, and restaurants. Residential uses may also be accommodated as part of mixed-use projects. The CG zoning district is consistent with the general commercial land use designation of the general plan.

  • C. CC (Central Commercial) District. The CC zoning district is applied to areas within the historical downtown appropriate for a mixture of land uses, with primarily retail and pedestrianoriented office uses on the ground floors of commercial structures, and residential units allowed on second or third floors. The CC zoning district is consistent with and implements the town center commercial land use designation of the general plan.

  • D. CT (Tourist/Destination Commercial) District. The CT zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a mixture of office/business park, retail commercial, lodging, conference center and other traveler-serving uses, local-serving entertainment uses, and residential uses as part of mixed-use structures. The CT zoning district is consistent with the tourist/destination commercial land use designation of the general plan.

  • (Ord. 205 § 1 (Exh. A), 2003; Ord. 299, 11/12/2024)

§ 13.26.030. Commercial district land uses and permit requirements.

Table 2-6 identifies the uses of land allowed by this title in the commercial zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Section 13.22.030 .

NOTE: Where the last column in the table ("Specific Use Regulations") includes a section number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use. Provisions in other sections of this title may also apply.

(Ord. 205 § 1 (Exh. A), 2003; Ord. 211 § 9, 2004; Ord. 299, 11/12/2024)

§ 13.26.040. Commercial district general development standards.

Subdivisions, new land uses and structures, and alterations to existing land uses and structures, shall be designed, constructed, and/or established in compliance with the requirements in Tables 2-7 and 2-8, in addition to the applicable development standards (e.g., landscaping, parking and loading, etc.) in Division 3 of this title.

      • b. Adequate access and circulation between Horseshoe Bar Road and King Road.

    3. Land Use Mix. As determined by the review authority to be appropriate, site development should include a mixture of land uses consisting of three tiers: general commercial and/or office uses should be located adjacent to the Raley's center; low profile office structures should be placed in a second tier after the commercial uses; and medium- to medium-high density residential should be located adjacent to the existing residential areas to the north of this site.

  • B. CG District on Taylor Road Northeast of Sierra College Boulevard.

    1. Applicability. The requirements of this subsection apply to the site identified as special land use policy area 4 on the general plan land use diagram, as consistent with Specific Area Policy 4, Section G of the Land Use and Community Development Element of the general plan.

    2. Site Planning. The site shall be developed with commercial uses along the Taylor Road frontage, with office uses or multifamily residential behind the commercial, to buffer the adjacent single-family residential uses from the noise, glare, and activities associated with commercial uses.

  • (Ord. 205 § 1 (Exh. A), 2003; Ord. 299, 11/12/2024)

§ 13.26.070. CT district standards.

Proposed subdivisions, other development and new land uses within the CT zoning district shall comply with the following requirements, consistent with Specific Area Policy 5, Section G of the Land Use and Community Development Element of the general plan.

  • A. Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements.

    1. Master Development Plan Required for Initial Site Development. The initial development of a parcel within the CT zoning district after the effective date of rezoning to the CT district shall require that the property owner first obtain town approval of a master development plan in compliance with Section 13.62.070 .

    2. Master Development Plan Contents. As submitted by the applicant and approved by the town, the master development plan shall specify the following.

      • a. Allowed Land Uses, Densities and Building Intensities. The land uses proposed and/or authorized as part of a master development plan may include any listed as "P," "MUP," "UP," and/or "S," within the CT zoning district in Section 13.26.040 , Table 2-6.

      • b. A detailed overall site plan that complies with the design standards in subsection B , and shows: all proposed land uses, structures, landscape areas, conservation areas for natural features; buffers; provisions for site access, internal and external circulation and parking; and all other details of site design.

      • c. Provisions for internal access to adjoining properties by means of proposed public and/or private roads or drives other than Horseshoe Bar and Brace Roads.

      • d. Architectural and other building design requirements and guidelines, to clearly define the appearance of approved structures;

      • e. Standards and guidelines for proposed signs, consistent with the requirements of Chapter 13.38 .

      • f. Plans showing the approximate location and layout of proposed infrastructure and utilities, including any proposed or required extensions of existing lines for water, sewer, etc.

      • g. Project and parcel phasing, to the extent that phasing is known by the property owner, or owners in the case of multiple properties participating in a project proposal.

      • h. Any other information, requirements, and/or conditions of approval determined by the review authority to be appropriate.

    3. Site Redevelopment and/or Replacement Land Uses. After initial site development and occupancy in compliance with an approved master development plan, the replacement of the initial use of a structure with a different use, and/or the replacement of an approved structure with a different structure and use shall be subject to the allowable land use and permit requirements of Section 13.26.040 , Table 2-6.

  • B. Design Standards. Each master development plan and any subsequent proposals for replacement land uses or redevelopment after initial site development shall incorporate site planning and building design measures to accomplish all of the following, as required by the general plan.

  1. Create an identity, appearance, and mix of land uses that provide for the integrated development of all parcels and that will be attractive to both travelers and town residents. The arrangement of uses on the overall site should be allowed to emphasize the creation of a destination or significant stopover for travelers, provide enhanced shopping and entertainment opportunities for town residents, and tie into the historic downtown area to support the economic viability of the downtown.

    1. Provide traveler-oriented commercial uses that are accessed primarily by automobiles and concentrated near the Horseshoe Bar Road interchange. Uses on the site shall then transition to more locally-oriented commercial and office uses, laid out to provide a pedestrian orientation.

    2. Provide primary access to commercial development from Horseshoe Bar Road, with limited, secondary access on Brace Road. Commercial uses shall not front on Brace Road and shall be set back and/or buffered from Brace Road to maintain the rural residential character of the roadway corridor.
