Division 8 — Industrial Zones

In addition to the general purposes listed in Section 10-2.102, the specific purposes of the I-1 and I-2 industrial zone and I-C industrial-commercial zone regulations are to:

• (a) Provide appropriately located areas consistent with the General Plan for a broad range of light industrial uses including light manufacturing, research and development, spacecraft manufacturing and associated aerospace operations, and business park offices;

• (b) Strengthen the City's economic base, and provide employment opportunities close to home for residents of the city;

• (c) Provide a suitable environment for light industrial uses, and protect them from the adverse impacts of inharmonious uses;

• (d) Permit commercial uses which are compatible with the over-all character and economic health of the industrial area;

• (e) Ensure that the appearance and effects of industrial and commercial uses are compatible with the character of the area in which they are located;

• (f) Minimize the impact of industrial and commercial uses on adjacent residential zones;

(g) Ensure the provision of adequate off-street parking and loading facilities. (Ord. 2756 c.s., eff. January 18, 1996)

In the following schedule the letter "P" designates use classifications permitted in the specified zone and the letter "C" designates use classifications permitted subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit, as provided in Section 10-2.2506. Where there is neither a "P" nor a "C" indicated under a specified zone, or where a use classification is not listed, that classification is not permitted. The "Additional Regulations" column references regulations located elsewhere in the Municipal Code.

Notwithstanding the designation of a classification as a permitted use, a use permit may be denied for any proposed use which in the opinion of the Community Development Director may in their maintenance, assembly, or operation create smoke, gas, odor, dust, sound, vibration, soot, or lighting of any degree which might harmfully impact surrounding land uses. The applicant for any such use denied by the Community Development Director may apply for a Conditional Use Permit.
