CHAPTER 19.44. - INDUSTRIAL ZONES

Sec. 19.44.010. - Purpose.

Three industrial zoning districts are provided. Their purposes are as follows:

(1)

BP, Business Park. This zone is provided for uses generally served by arterial roadways and freeways. They include business/professional offices, storage, light manufacturing, wholesaling, retail, auto dealerships, service commercial activities, and public uses. This zone correlates with the business park general plan land use designation.

(2)

LI, Light Industrial. This zone is to provide for light industrial uses and related activities including manufacturing, research, warehouse and distribution, assembly of non-hazardous products/materials, and retail related to manufacturing. This zone correlates with the light industrial general plan land use designation.

(3)

GI, General Industrial. This zone is to provide for the development of general industrial uses which may support a wide range of manufacturing and non-manufacturing uses, from warehousing and distribution facilities to industrial activities and emergency shelters. This zone correlates with the general industrial general plan land use designation.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.010; Ord. No. 1464, § 4(Exh. 1), 10-14-2025)

Sec. 19.44.020. - Land uses and permit requirements.

The industrial land uses allowed in each zoning district are identified in the following table as being P (permitted), CUP (allowed subject to prior approval of a conditional use permit), A (accessory to a permitted or conditional uses), or PRO (prohibited). When a use is not listed specifically as either a permitted use or conditionally permitted use under a particular zoning district or category it is generally not permitted. However, the director of development services has the authority to determine if the use is substantially similar to other uses in the particular zone to justify a finding that it should be deemed either a permitted use or conditionally permitted use.

(1)

P, permitted uses are allowed subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance, and to obtaining any other permit required by this Code, including a business license.

(2)

A, accessory uses are allowed subject to compatibility with permitted and conditionally permitted uses. Such uses are defined as being clearly subordinate to the principal use of the building or lot, and serve a purpose customarily associated with the principal use.

(3)

CUP, conditional use permit is required; please refer to chapter 19.61.

(4)

PRO, prohibited uses are not allowed in this district.

ALLOWED LAND USES IN INDUSTRIAL ZONE DISTRICTS

Notes:

1.

Any legally established warehouse or distribution center, whether already constructed, currently operating, or approved but not yet built with a valid Conditional Use Permit (CUP) issued prior to adoption of this Zoning Code Amendment, may continue to operate in the BP Zone as permitted use, provided the CUP remains valid and has not expired.

2.

This conditional use permit requirement shall apply only to warehouse and distribution center uses that exceed 50,000 square feet in total building floor area; the approval authority for such conditional use permits shall be the City Council. Any warehouses and distribution centers 50,000 square feet or less shall require a Development Plan Review.

3.

Any legally established warehouse or distribution center, whether already constructed, currently operating, or approved but not yet built with a valid Development Plan Review (DPR) issued prior to adoption of this Zoning Code Amendment, may continue to operate in the LI or GI Zone as permitted use, provided the DPR remains valid and has not expired.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.020; Ord. No. 1330, § 2(C), 11-8-2017; Ord. No. 1464, § 4(Exh. 1), 10-14-2025; Ord. No. 1467, § 4(Exh. 1), 1-13-2026)

Sec. 19.44.030. - Development criteria.

Note: Structure heights may be increased to a maximum of 100 feet above grade, provided that the front and street side yards are increased at least one foot for every one foot of height increase beyond the standard set forth in the table, and provided that side and rear yard setbacks are increased by one foot for every two foot increase beyond the standard set forth in the table.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.030)

Sec. 19.44.040. - Parking and loading standards.

No building shall be occupied and no final inspection shall be given, unless off-street parking facilities are provided in accordance with the provisions of chapter 19.69.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.040)

Sec. 19.44.050. - Sign standards.

Signs shall be allowed pursuant to chapter 19.75.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.050; Ord. No. 1306, 8-2014)

Sec. 19.44.060. - Landscape standards.

Landscaping shall be provided pursuant to chapter 19.70 and the following standards.

(1)

Landscaping should be used to compliment rather than conceal building architecture. The landscape design should follow a consistent theme that links various site components together.

(2)

Landscaping should highlight building entries and pedestrian connections to the street and all on-site buildings and uses. Accent landscaping should also be used at street intersections, employee amenity areas, and in combination with signs.

(3)

Landscaping around the base of buildings is required, except for work and loading areas that are not visible from a public street. The use of vines on walls is encouraged in industrial areas because they add texture and color to long, flat walls and reduce opportunities for graffiti.

(4)

The landscape plan should incorporate special pavements (accent colors, textures, and patterns) to indicate building entrances and pedestrian pathways. Architectural features (trellises, screen walls, planters) and site furniture (benches, tree grates, light fixtures, mail boxes) should adhere to a consistent theme.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.060)

Sec. 19.44.070. - Performance standards.

(a)

Lighting. All lighting fixtures shall be fully shielded with cut-off fixtures so that there is no glare emitted onto adjacent properties or above the lowest part of the fixture. Parking area lighting shall be provided pursuant to section 19.02.110(a).

(b)

Noise, vibration, and electrical disturbance.

(1)

Noise generated on-site shall be controlled so as to be compatible with surrounding land uses. Any proposed use that may generate noise during evening hours (7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) must submit a detailed noise assessment and plan addressing and mitigating potential noise impacts.

(2)

Vibrations generated on-site shall not be detectable off-site. Any proposed use that may generate vibrations detectable off-site must submit a detailed vibration assessment and plan addressing and mitigating potential impacts.

(3)

Any proposed use that may produce electrical disturbances or interference to surrounding land uses must submit a detailed electrical interference assessment addressing and mitigating any potential impacts.

(c)

Odors, dust and airborne pollutants. Odors, dust and airborne pollution, shall be controlled so as not to impact surrounding land uses or the public right-of-way. Proposed uses may be required to submit a detailed assessment addressing and mitigating any potential effects.

(d)

Paving. Loading areas, trash enclosures and their aprons, or other site areas used by heavy vehicles, shall be designed and constructed to support such vehicles and traffic.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.070)

(a)

Purpose and intent.

(1)

As of 2005, industrial land uses (business park, light industrial, and general industrial) comprised 4,440 acres of land in the city, representing approximately 24.1 percent of the total land area. Industrial land uses are generally located in North Perris along the I-215 and Perris Boulevard, and in South Perris between "A" Street and Case Road. These areas are highly visible and strongly influence the physical character and visual image of the city. Therefore, it is the city's intent to establish guidelines for improving the site and architectural design of industrial areas throughout the city.

(2)

These guidelines may be interpreted with some flexibility in their application to specific projects as not all design criteria may be appropriate for each project. In some circumstances, a guideline may be relaxed in order to accomplish another, more important guideline. The overall objective is to ensure that the intent and spirit of the design guidelines are followed. The ultimate goal of the development review process is to attain the best possible design.

(b)

Site planning. Adherence to basic site planning principals can improve the functional components of a site plan (i.e., the arrangement of employment or use areas, recreation/amenity areas, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, parking and loading, etc.). Such principals can also enhance the aesthetic elements of a plan (building mass, views, focal points, etc.), both on-site and within the context of surrounding development. Thus, the following site planning principals are set forth to guide new industrial development in the city:

(1)

Transition. Create a notable transition between projects with different uses and intensities by providing an effective visual and functional shift. Transition may be created via building setbacks, heights, and landscaping.

(2)

Streetscape. Accentuate public streets by locating buildings and their entrances at the street. Reinforce entries so they are clearly identifiable. Avoid parking lots between the street and the building, except for small amount of handicap and visitor parking. Loading areas and employee parking lots should always be located at the side and rear of buildings.

(3)

Clustering. Avoid long, monotonous building facades and create diversity by clustering buildings around courtyards, plazas, and landscaped open spaces. Establish a distinct visual link in multi-building complexes, by using architectural and site design elements to unify the project.

(4)

Employee amenity areas. Include cafeterias, weight rooms, locker rooms and showers in larger buildings exceeding 100,000 square feet. Site and landscape plans should reserve open space for outdoor recreation and dining.

(5)

Access. Locate access drives as far from street intersections as possible. If the site can take access on two or more roads, site access is encouraged on the lowest classification roadway unless such access impacts residential or similar land uses. Lower classification roadways are more consistent with the vehicle speeds in a site's parking lot and allow drivers to better and more safely transition to higher-speed roadways.

(6)

On-site circulation. Provide safe and convenient circulation for cars and pedestrians throughout project sites. Reserve adequate area for stacking and maneuvering, and consider emergency vehicle access. Create paths from parking lots to building entrances that are separated from cars.

(7)

Parking lots. Disperse parking into multiple smaller lots, as opposed to one large lot, such that cars are not the dominant visual element of the site. Earth berms and landscaping can be used to screen and shade vehicles.

(8)

Screen walls. Screen storage areas, outdoor work areas, and mechanical equipment with walls that utilize the same building materials and architectural design of the buildings. Soften screen walls with earth berms and dense landscaping. The intent is to keep walls as low and unobtrusive as possible while performing their screening and security functions.

(c)

Architectural design. The following design elements should be incorporated to improve the visual character of large industrial buildings.

(1)

Entrances. Building entrances shall be clearly defined and recessed or framed by a sheltering element such as an awning, arcade or portico in order to provide shelter from the summer sun and winter weather.

(2)

Variation in massing. A single, large, dominant building mass shall be avoided to the extent feasible. Specifically, horizontal masses shall not exceed a height to width ratio of 1:3 without substantial variation in massing that includes a change in height and projecting or recessed elements.

(3)

Building elevations. All architectural elevations of principal buildings over 20 feet in height shall have a clearly discernable base, body, and cap. The base shall occupy the lowest portion of the elevation, and should have a height of at least three feet. The body shall occupy the middle portion of the elevation, covering about 30 percent of the average wall height. The cap shall occupy the highest portion of the elevation, excluding the roof, and shall have a dimension that does not exceed the height of the base. The cap shall consist of a cornice, parapet, awning, canopy, or eave. The base and cap shall be clearly distinguishable from the body through changes in color, material, pattern, profile, or texture.

(4)

Materials. The materials used on building facades play a large part in determining the appearance of a building. As a general rule, the use of high quality natural building materials such as brick, stone, tinted/textured concrete (tilt-up) are appropriate. The following is a list of permitted materials for the building base, body, and cap. Other materials not specifically mentioned may be permitted, on a case-bycase basis.

a.

Building base. Brick, native stone, manufactured stone or decorative concrete masonry units.

b.

Building body. Acceptable materials include wood, brick, native stone, manufactured stone, concrete, glass, or applied materials such as stucco or exterior insulated finish system (E.I.F.S.). Other materials such as imitation wood siding, sheet metal, corrugated metal, or other similar metal panels, are considered inappropriate and should be avoided.

c.

Building cap. The building cap shall consist of materials introduced on the base and/or body of the building. Cornices and parapets shall be distinguishable from the building body by design and profile. Awnings, canopies, and eaves shall generally incorporate alternate color and materials.

(5)

Fenestration and glazing.

a.

Generally, fenestration shall be used for functional and programmatic requirements and shall be designed to break up the visual size of the wall's facade. Openings should be recessed two to four inches to further articulate the facade.

b.

Building walls facing public streets should be highly transparent with windows and doors making up 25 percent of the facade. Reflective or highly tinted glass adds to the monotony of a facade and should be avoided. Buildings which include uses that do not lend themselves to fenestration (e.g., loading areas, warehouse and storage functions) should be designed so that these uses are located along walls that face away from public streets.

(6)

Color. The use of low reflectance, subtle, neutral, or earth tone colors as the predominant colors on the facade is encouraged. Building trim and accent areas may feature brighter colors, including primary colors. Applied paint over brick, stone, and concrete on any part of a building facade or other site elements is strongly discouraged.

(7)

Roofs. Building roofs should be designed to reduce the overall mass of a structure and harmonize with surrounding development. Parapet walls and roof systems shall be designed to conceal all roof-mounted mechanical equipment from view to adjacent properties and public rights-of-way. The use of varied roof lines is encouraged. Permitted roof styles include gable, mansard, and hip roofs. Flat roofs are permitted if sufficiently disguised through the use of parapet walls.

(Code 1972, § 19.44.080)

Sec. 19.44.090. - Standards for specific uses.

This section provides site planning and development standards for specific land uses that are allowed by section 19.44.020, but are unique in land use and/or development characteristics. The specific uses identified herein shall conform to the following provisions, in addition to other applicable provisions of this chapter including the standards of the zone district where the use is located.

(1)

Warehouse/distribution centers. These extremely large buildings (500,000 square feet and larger) are generally characterized by a basic, box-like building form, with multiple truck docks and roll-up doors. To improve the design and function of these uses, the following standards are required:

a.

Setbacks. Front and street-side yards shall be increased ten feet for each additional ten feet (or increment thereof) of building height over 30 feet. Use employee parking, offices, landscaping, etc., to maximize separation of truck docks from sensitive receptors (schools, residences, hospitals, etc.).

b.

Facade articulation. Promote human scale and add visual interest by breaking down large facades into smaller, more human scale segments. Specifically, facades greater than 100 feet in length shall incorporate projections or recesses with a depth of five to ten feet. Such articulation shall cumulatively account for at

least 20 percent of the length of the facade. No uninterrupted length of any facade shall exceed 100 horizontal feet.

c.

Other methods used to break down long, blank building facades include, but are not limited to, color changes, texture changes, or material changes. The utilization of superficial trim, painting or other graphics as the sole method of breaking up large building facades is not acceptable. All building facades that are visible from adjoining properties and/or public streets should follow the material and color guidelines of these requirements.

d.

Truck docks shall be outfitted with power outlets that accommodate refrigerated containers. Diesel engines shall not be allowed to idle longer than five minutes in any location.

(2)

Outdoor storage. Outdoor storage of materials or equipment shall not be visible from adjacent land uses or public rights-of-way. A solid masonry wall and densely landscaped buffer (three-foot minimum) shall surround the storage area and be planted with species of varying height to screen the wall. Wall openings to the storage area shall not be visible from adjacent land uses and the public right-of-way.

a.

Outdoor storage areas up to ten percent of the lot area may be approved by minor development plan review pursuant to chapter 19.54.

b.

Outdoor storage over ten percent of the lot area may be approved (where permitted by section 19.44.020) by a conditional use permit pursuant to chapter 19.61 if it is found that the outdoor storage is completely screened and an enhancement to site and surrounding land uses.

(3)

Outdoor display. Outdoor product display areas shall be surrounded by a five-foot-deep landscaped area. An attractive open metal fence (no chain-link or similar fencing is allowed) up to five feet maybe located on interior edge of the landscape area surrounding the outdoor display area.

a.

Outdoor display of products covering less than five percent of the lot area is allowed upon approval of a minor development plan review by the community development director, pursuant to chapter 19.54.

b.

Outdoor display of products over five percent of the lot area may be approved by a conditional use permit, pursuant to chapter 19.61 if it is found that the display area is an enhancement to the site and land uses.

(4)

Other outdoor uses or activities. Other outdoor uses or activities may be approved by a conditional use permit pursuant to chapter 19.61, and subject to approval of a detailed outdoor use or activity plan. The outdoor use or activity plan shall detail all proposed outdoor uses or activities, and hours of operation. The development plan shall provide both for the physical screening and operational controls of outdoor activities (i.e. noise, traffic, and dust mitigation) to ensure adequate buffering to surrounding land uses and public rights-of-way.

(5)

Vehicle storage, tow yards and auto dismantlers. A solid, decorative, masonry block wall shall be constructed around the perimeter of the use and substantially block views into the yard. This perimeter wall shall adhere to front yard setbacks for the zone that is located in and the intervening space shall be planted with landscaping of varying height mixture to screen the wall. The yard area shall be paved with concrete or asphalt paving. Suitable best management practices (BMP) shall be constructed or practiced to ensure that any vehicle fluids shall not leave the site.

(6)
