Rohnert Park Municipal Code Art. III Industrial Zoning Districts

The industrial district is intended to provide appropriate areas for businesses that manufacture, process, assemble, repair, or otherwise create and maintain goods, merchandise and equipment. The district is designed to provide for the effective integration of industrial areas with adjacent uses, so that impacts related to traffic, noise, illumination, smoke, hazardous materials and other potential concerns are minimized. The industrial district is also intended to foster the development of an industrial base that will benefit existing and future residents of the city and the surrounding region. (Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)

(Ord. No. 854, § 2(Exh. A), 7-9-2013)

I-L: Limited Industrial District. This district allows for campus-like environments for corporate headquarters, research and development facilities, offices, light manufacturing and assembly, industrial processing, general service, warehousing, storage and distribution, and service commercial type use. Retail activities are generally limited to those that support the industrial type uses. This district is consistent with the "Industrial" general plan designation. The floor area ration for this district is 0.5, or 1.0 for projects that meet specific criteria specified in the city's design guidelines. (Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)

(Ord. No. 854, § 2(Exh. A), 7-9-2013)
