Title 1 — General Provisions (Abatement)Chapter 22.08 — AGRICULTURAL AND RESOURCE-RELATED DISTRICTS

§ 22.12

Marin County Planning Code · 2026-07 edition · ingested 2026-07-08 · Marin County

22.12.010 - Purpose of Chapter.

This Chapter determines the allowable uses of land, land use permit requirements, and basic development standards for the Commercial/Mixed Use and Industrial zoning districts established by Section 22.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established). The purposes of each Commercial/Mixed Use and Industrial zoning district are described in Section 22.12.020 (Applicability of Commercial, Mixed Use and Industrial Zoning Districts). This Chapter then lists allowable uses of land, and permit requirements for each use, by zoning district (Section 22.12.030 (Commercial/Mixed Use and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements)); and finally provides standards for development within the Commercial/Mixed Use and Industrial zoning districts (Section 22.12.040 (Commercial/Mixed Use Industrial District Development Standards)).

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012)

22.12.020 - Applicability of Commercial/Mixed Use and Industrial Zoning Districts.

The applicability of each commercial/mixed use and industrial zoning district is as follows:

A.

VCR (Village Commercial/Residential) District. The VCR zoning district is intended to: maintain the established historical character of village commercial areas; promote village commercial self-sufficiency; foster opportunities for village commercial growth; maintain a balance between resident-serving and nonresident-serving commercial uses; protect, without undue controls, established residential, commercial, and light industrial uses; and maintain community scale. The VCR zoning district is consistent with the Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use land use category of the Marin Countywide Plan.

B.

RMPC (Residential/Commercial Multiple Planned) District. The RMPC zoning district is primarily a residential district that allows commercial uses. The RMPC district is applied to areas identified by the Marin Countywide Plan as capable of accommodating increased density, and is consistent with the General Commercial/Mixed Use, Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use, Office Commercial/Mixed Use, Industrial, PD-Agricultural and Environmental Resource Area, and PD-Reclamation Area land use categories of the Marin Countywide Plan.

C.

C1 (Retail Business) District. The C1 zoning district provides for community shopping areas where retail stores and shops are the primary land use, together with similar and related compatible uses, including residential uses. The C1 zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial/Mixed Use land use category of the Marin Countywide Plan.

D.

CP (Planned Commercial) District. The CP zoning district provides for lower-intensity commercial areas for retail shopping, office facilities, and residential uses, in pleasing and harmonious surroundings, through the control of building coverage, height, parking and landscaping. The CP zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial/Mixed Use, PD-Agricultural and Environmental Resource Area, and PD-Reclamation Area land use categories of the Marin Countywide Plan.

E.

AP (Administrative and Professional) District. The AP zoning district provides for lower-intensity commercial areas emphasizing offices, and similar and related compatible uses, including residential uses. The AP zoning district is consistent with the Office Commercial/Mixed Use and PD-Reclamation Area land use categories of the Marin Countywide Plan.

F.

OP (Planned Office) District. The OP zoning district provides for lower-intensity commercial areas for administrative, professional office and residential uses, in pleasing and harmonious surroundings, through the control of building coverage, height, parking and landscaping. The OP zoning district is consistent with the Office Commercial/Mixed Use and PD-Reclamation Area land use categories of the Marin Countywide Plan.

G.

H1 (Limited Roadside Business) District. The H1 zoning district is applied to properties in rural areas where commercial uses may be appropriate, in addition to limited residential development. The H1 zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial/Mixed Use land use category of the Marin Countywide Plan.

H.

RCR (Resort and Commercial Recreation) District. The RCR zoning district is intended to create and protect resort facilities in pleasing and harmonious surroundings with emphasis on public access to recreational

areas within and adjacent to developed areas. The RCR zoning district is consistent with the Recreational Commercial land use category of the Marin Countywide Plan.

I.

IP (Industrial, Planned) District. The IP zoning district is intended for areas of the County appropriate for business park, light industrial and manufacturing uses in campus-like settings. The IP zoning district is consistent with the Industrial and PD Reclamation Area land used categories of the Marin Countywide Plan.

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012)

22.12.030 - Commercial/Mixed-Use and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements.

The uses of land allowed by this Chapter in each commercial zoning district are identified in Tables 2-6 (the VCR, RMPC, C1, and CP zoning districts) and 2-7 (the AP, OP, H1, RCR, and IP zoning districts) as being:

1.

Allowed as a principally permitted use with no Use Permit required. Principally permitted uses are shown as "P" uses in the tables;

2.

Allowable as a conditional use, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (Chapter 22.48) or Master Use Permit (Chapter 22.49), as applicable. Conditionally permitted uses are shown as "U" uses in the tables, and "U/P" means that the use may be either principally permitted or conditionally permitted depending on the specific criteria set forth in Chapter 22.32;

3.

Land uses that are not listed in the table, are not shown in a particular zoning district, or are shown as a "—" in the land use tables are not allowed, except where otherwise provided by Section 22.06.040.B (Determination of Allowable Land Uses), or Section 22.06.050 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements). In some instances, there are specific land use restrictions contained in Chapter 22.32 that prohibit certain uses under specific circumstances.

Where the last column in the tables ("See Standards in Section") includes a section number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other sections of this Development Code may apply as well.

Reference notes apply to Tables 2-6 and 2-7, as enumerated below:

1.

Allowed only where the site has a lot area of 3 acres or more.

2.

Allowed where review authority determines through the Use Permit process that proposal is consistent with the small-scale, village-serving purposes of the VCR zoning district.

3.

Dwellings allowed above the first floor only. First floor shall be reserved for non-residential use.

4.

Dwellings, except for affordable housing, shall be accessory to the primary commercial use. See 22.32.150 (Residential Uses in Commercial/Mixed Use Areas).

5.

Non-residential development may trigger residential requirements in the VCR, RMPC, RCR, C1, CP, AP, OP and H1 zoning districts pursuant to Section 22.32.150 - Residential Requirements in Commercial/Mixed Use Districts.

Notes:

(1) Minimum lot area and setback standards may change, as follows:

a. In VCR, AP, H1, and C1 districts, the minimum lot area and setback standards may change when the district is combined with a "-B" district in compliance with provisions of Section 22.14.050 (Minimum Lot Size "-B" Combining District).

c. In CP, IP, RCR, OP, and RMPC districts, minimum lot area is determined through the Master Plan, or Design Review process in compliance with Chapters 22.44 (Master Plans and Precise Development Plans) or 22.42 (Design Review). Through such process, the Review Authority will determine whether the lot area is adequate for the proposed land use.

(4) See Section 22.20.060 (Height Measurement and Height Limit Exceptions) for height measurement and exceptions.
