Chapter 12-22 — AS-III AIRPORT SERVICE III ZONE

Section 12-22.01. Applicability. ¶

The regulations set out in this chapter apply in the AS-III zone unless otherwise provided in this chapter.

(Ord. 84-84 § 1 (Exhibit A), eff. 12/6/84)

Section 12-22.02. Intent. ¶

(a) This zone classification is designed to provide for hotels and related commerce, research and development industries and laboratories, administrative centers, very light and highly specialized manufacturing operations and other similar places of employment characterized by a low employment density and minimum customer activity. General retail commerce is excluded because these uses are adequately provided for in the downtown Santa Maria area.
(b) The allowed uses other than those specifically permitted are therefore prescribed by a series of restrictive performance and development standards which define uses in addition to those listed and not specifically excluded and which can develop and operate within all of these standards. It is presumed that they will be good neighbors to the other uses in the zone.
(Ord. 84-1087 § 1 (Exhibit A), eff. 12/6/84)

Section 12-22.03. Conditional uses. ¶

Subject to approval of a conditional use permit or planned development permit, the following uses may be permitted:

(a) Hotels, when located not closer than 1,500 feet westerly from the intersection of Skyway Drive and Highway 135/Orcutt Expressway;
(b) Novelty or gift shops, restaurants, automated teller machines and personal services when contained within and as accessory uses to hotels;
(c) Administrative or executive offices when incidental and accessory to and directly related to primary industrial or manufacturing uses permitted in the zone and corporate offices containing more than 25,000 square feet per tenant;
(d) Engineering and industrial design facilities;
(e) Scientific research and experimental development laboratories which do not require outside testing or storage;
(f) Data processing offices, equipment incidental to sale and service/maintenance;
(g) Additional uses may be permitted when determined by the Planning Commission to be compatible with other conditional uses, provided the uses conform to all of the performance and development standards and other restrictions contained in Section 12-22.05 .

The PD (planned development) overlay zones are subject to the following: All mitigation measures as specified in the initial study, E-83-154B, prepared for GP-83-10 and Z-83-16, should be considered by the applicant during the planning stage for a specific development proposal; and, further, the mitigation measures, if applicable at the time of the approving body's consideration of the specific proposal, should be made conditions of approving the project.
