Sausalito Municipal Code Ch. 10.26 Industrial Marinship District

In addition to the general purposes established in SMC § 10.10.030 (Title and purpose), the specific purposes of the industrial marinship zoning district are as follows:

A. To provide for nonpolluting, low intensity industrial uses;

B. To provide for uses compatible with an industrial area;

C. To provide for non-invasive industry with minimal community impacts;

D. To provide for industrial, service and arts uses, with the necessary support elements for the Sausalito community;

E. To ensure all uses and development are compatible with the marinship specific plan;

F. To encourage a mixture of uses;

G. To provide for urban development standards;

H. To maintain the land use entitlements that were contained in prior code Section 10.700 (Industrial District Regulations); and

I. To provide for public access to and views of Richardson Bay.

The industrial marinship district is a base district which is entirely within an overlay district (-M, marinship). The entire district is subject to the requirements established by SMC § 10.28.050 (Marinship (-M)).

(Ord. 1167 § 2, 2003)

Table 10.26-1 (Land Uses Allowed in Industrial Marinship District) outlines the uses that are allowed in the industrial marinship district. The notations indicate whether the use is permitted or requires a minor use permit or a conditional use permit. The table also indicates the uses that are subject to additional special requirements and notes the section of the Zoning Ordinance where these standards can be found. In addition, all uses in the industrial marinship district are subject to the marinship overlay district, which identifies use and development requirements for all properties in the marinship specific planning area. Chapter 10.88 SMC (Definitions) provides definitions for general land use categories.

Residential and office uses which existed when the marinship specific plan was adopted are permitted to remain, provided no expansion occurs and no new uses are established, consistent with the marinship specific plan. Existing restaurants are also permitted to remain. Additions to existing restaurants and new eating establishments are subject to the marinship specific plan, this chapter, and SMC § 10.44.210 (Restaurants), as indicated in Table 10.26-1 (Land Uses Allowed in Industrial Marinship District). In addition, site-specific exceptions shall be allowed, consistent with the marinship specific plan and SMC § 10.28.050 (Marinship (-M)).

Table 10.26-1 LAND USES ALLOWED IN INDUSTRIAL MARINSHIP DISTRICT

(Ord. 1167 § 2, 2003)

The following uses may be permitted as inclusionary uses only when accompanied by a specified use:

A. Applied Arts. Applied arts uses may not exceed 50 percent of all arts uses on the parcel. Other required arts uses are fine, industrial and marine arts. Applied arts uses that are established consistent with this requirement may remain if other arts uses vacate the site and/or premises. However, the vacated tenant space cannot be utilized for uses other than required arts uses and must remain dedicated to the re-establishment of another required arts use to fulfill the inclusionary use ratio.

B. Commercial Uses. Commercial office and retail uses may not exceed 40 percent of the floor area permitted on the parcel and must be accompanied by noncommercial uses. Commercial office and retail uses that are established consistent with this requirement may remain if other noncommercial uses vacate the site and/or premises. However, the vacated tenant space cannot be utilized for uses other than noncommercial use and must remain dedicated to the re-establishment of another noncommercial use to fulfill the inclusionary use ratio.

(Ord. 1167 § 2, 2003)

Table 10.26-2 (Site Development Standards – Industrial Marinship Zoning District) establishes parcel requirements and site development standards for the industrial marinship zoning district.

Site development standards are also specified by and contained in SMC § 10.28.050 (Marinship (-M)). Specific uses may be subject to additional specific standards.
