§ 35.25 — Santa Barbara County Planning Code

35.25.010 - Purpose ¶

This Chapter identifies the land uses that may be allowed within the Industrial zones established by Section 35.14.020 (Zoning Map and Zones), determines the type of planning permit/approval required for each use and provides basic standards for site layout and project design.

35.25.020 - Purposes of Industrial Zones ¶

The purposes of the individual industrial zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.

M-RP (Industrial Research Park) zone. The M-RP zone is intended to provide areas exclusively for light industry, technical research, and business headquarters office as the primary land use types, uses in welldesigned buildings and attractively landscaped areas. The intent is to establish development standards and landscaping requirements to ensure a park-like environment for the uses permitted and compatibility with adjacent non-industrial areas.

B.

M-1 (Light Industry) zone. The M-1 zone is intended to provide areas exclusively for light industrial uses. The intent is to encourage sound industrial development through appropriate areas for these uses, and to protect nearby residential, commercial, and industrial uses from hazards, noise, and other disturbances.

C.

M-2 (General Industry) zone. The M-2 zone is intended to provide areas for all types of industrial uses while providing the level of project review necessary to ensure that adverse impacts will be minimized and that these uses will be compatible with surrounding properties.

D.

M-CR (Coastal-Related Industry) zone. The M-CR zone is intended to provide areas that are appropriate for coastal-related industrial uses within the Inland area. The intent is to provide standards and conditions that will ensure that environmental damage will be avoided or minimized to the maximum extent feasible.

35.25.030 - Industrial Zones Allowable Land Uses

A.

General permit requirements. Table 2-19 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements for Industrial Zones) identifies the uses of land allowed by this Development Code in each industrial zone and the planning permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Section 35.20.030 (Allowable Development and Planning Permit Requirements).

B.

Requirements for certain specific land uses. Where the last column ("Specific Use Regulations") in Table 2- 19 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements for Industrial Zones) includes a section number, the referenced Section may affect whether the use requires a Land Use Permit, Development Plan, Minor Conditional Use Permit, or Conditional Use Permit and/or may establish other requirements and standards applicable to the use.

C.

Accessory uses and structures. A use allowed by Table 2-19 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements for Industrial Zones) may include accessory uses and structures as follows.

1.

M-1 and M-2 zones. Accessory structures and uses customarily incidental to a permitted use, not including retail sale by a manufacturing enterprise.

2.

M-CR and M-RP zones. Accessory structures and uses customarily incidental to a permitted use.

D.

Development Plan approval required.

1.

M-RP, M-1, M-2 zones. Within the M-RP, M-1, or M-2 zones, Final Development Plan approval in compliance with Section 35.82.080 (Development Plans) is required prior to any development, including grading, except as provided in Subsection D.1.b, below.

a.

Final Development Plan approval is required for a structure that is accessory to a permitted agricultural use, other than an agricultural reservoir, and that is not otherwise required by this Development Code to have discretionary permit approval and is 20,000 or more square feet in gross floor area, or is an attached or detached addition that together with existing structures on the site will total 20,000 square feet or more in gross floor area.

b.

Certain allowed agricultural uses in the M-1 and M-2 zones. Within the M-1 and M-2 zones, agricultural uses that are permitted on an adjacent lot zoned agricultural or residential do not require the approval of a Development Plan and may be allowed in compliance with a Land Use Permit issued in compliance with Section 35.82.110 (Land Use Permits).

2.

M-CR zone. Within the M-CR zone, Final Development Plan approval is required for a structure, other than an agricultural reservoir, that is not otherwise required by this Development Code to have discretionary permit approval and is 20,000 or more square feet in gross floor area, or is an attached or detached addition that together with existing structures on the site will total 20,000 square feet or more in gross floor area.

E.

Design Review required.

1.

Design Review is required prior to the approval of a planning permit for a structure, or an addition to or alteration of, an existing structure in the M-RP, M-1, and M-2 zones, in compliance with Section 35.82.070 (Design Review).

Design Review may be required prior to the approval of a planning permit for a structure, or an addition to or alteration of, an existing structure in the MC-R zone, in compliance with Section 35.82.070 (Design Review).
