Rohnert Park Municipal Code § 17.06.620 Purpose

The Commercial Overlay District is intended to permit additional commercial development with existing industrial areas which are proximate to Highway 101, such as the Commerce Boulevard. The district would ensure that there are locations for new commercial users within such areas and would allow for their timely approval as principally-permitted uses, while continuing to allow for uses that are more industrial in nature.

(Ord. No. 897, (Exh. B), 4-12-2016)

A Commercial Overlay District may be combined with an Industrial Zoning District by a change of district to include the overlay in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.25.070 of this title. A Commercial Overlay District shall be designated by the letter "C" following the industrial district designation.

(Ord. No. 897, (Exh. B), 4-12-2016)

In addition to the uses allowed in the underlying zoning district, the following is a list of permitted land uses within the commercial overlay designation. Permitted as follows:

P

= Permitted.

C

= Conditionally-permitted by planning commission.

A

= Administrative permit.

Z

= Certificate of zoning compliance.

T

= Temporary conditional permit.

I

= Uses allowed as incidental to a primary use.

Uses involving chemicals may also be subject to requirements regarding hazardous materials (footnote 11), in which case more restrictive requirements shall apply. Land uses that are not specifically listed are not permitted unless determined, by the planning and community development director, to be substantially similar to a listed use. If the listed land use is followed by a number or a section reference in parenthesis, that number or reference directs the reader to the corresponding land use footnote or special provision which follow this chapter.
