§ 11.20.030. Establishment of zones.

The city is divided into urban mixed-use zones, commercial industrial zones, and residential neighborhood zones to individually regulate development form and land use of parcels. This specific mix of zones implement the general plan by providing for a range of development intensity and uses that are compatible with the character of the city's neighborhoods, districts, and corridors. City zones are listed in Table 11.20-1 and applied geographically by the citywide zoning map.

Existing legally constructed nonconforming uses, buildings, and structures established prior to the adoption of this title are legal, nonconforming uses and are permitted to operate subject to the regulations of Chapter 11.55, Nonconforming Uses and Buildings.

  • A. Urban Mixed-Use Zones. Urban mixed-use zones range in function and density to address mixed-use and nonresidential development within districts and corridors to promote accessibility, business development, and a unified character. These zones define the major corridors, thoroughfares, and districts of the city. These prominent locations make design and building form paramount in defining the character of South Gate. Urban mixed-use zones are regulated from a form-based approach, identifying allowed building types, frontage types, and massing to foster dynamic design.

  • B. Commercial Industrial Zones. Commercial industrial zones provide dedicated locations for the preservation and development of commercial and industrial activities. These zones are regulated by land use to ensure that appropriate site design and operational standards are employed to promote commerce within the zones and to protect adjacent properties.

  • C. Residential Neighborhood Zones. Residential neighborhood zones protect the integrity and character of existing residential neighborhoods for the development and redevelopment of single-family homes, suburban residential areas, and public spaces. These zones are regulated by land use.

(Ord. 2323 § 1 Exh. A (part), 4-28-2015)

Exceptions & meaning →

§ 11.20.040. Citywide zone mapping.

The citywide zoning map establishes and defines all zones and overlay areas, and their boundaries. Each zone outlines land use and development standards to implement the range of expected outcomes expressed in the South Gate general plan. All zone regulations shall be applied based on the zone boundaries and locations established by the citywide zoning map. All overlay areas further regulate the land use or specific activities within the underlying zone and shall be applied based on the overlay boundaries and locations established by the citywide overlay map.

  • A. Division of Zoning Map. The citywide zoning map may, for convenience, be divided into parts, and each part may, for purposes of identification, be subdivided into map sections. Each section of the zoning map may be individually mapped or separated out for official reference or when amending the citywide zoning map. Any individual map sections successively adopted by amendment shall become part of this title and shall not impact any other section of the citywide zoning map.

  • B. Annexation of Properties. When property outside of the city limits is submitted for annexation to the city, zoning of the property shall be determined by the city at the time of application hearing, and shall be incorporated into the citywide zoning map upon adoption. Annexation actions shall be consistent with state law.

  • (Ord. 2323 § 1 Exh. A (part), 4-28-2015)

Exceptions & meaning →

§ 11.20.050. Interpretation of zone boundaries.

When uncertainty exists about the location of any zone boundary or section shown on the citywide zoning map, the precise location of the boundary shall be determined by the director. Generally, the following boundary guidelines shall be used for reading the zoning map and for interpretation, unless otherwise determined by the director.

  • A. General Boundaries. Zone boundaries approximately following the right-of-way shall be construed to follow the proximate property line or right-of-way line.

  • B. Scale. If a zone boundary does not follow a property line, or where a zone boundary divides a property, the location scale on the citywide zoning map shall be used to determine the location of the boundaries, unless the boundaries are indicated by dimensions.

  • C. Split Zone Properties. Where a zone boundary divides a property, the property shall be developed in a manner that is consistent with the designated zone area based on the zone boundaries of the citywide zoning map.

  • D. Centerline Boundaries. Zone boundaries shown within a right-of-way that do not follow the outside right-of-way line(s) shall be construed to follow the centerline of such rightsof-way.

  • E. Vacated Areas. Vacated or abandoned nonoccupancy uses identified in Chapter 11.56, Enforcement, shall be treated in one of the following ways:

    1. Revert to the identified zoning district.

    2. Where no zone is identified by the citywide zoning map, the vacated right-of-way or nonoccupancy use shall acquire the zoning district classification of the adjacent property to which it reverts.

    3. The director shall determine the applicable zone; city council approval and adoption by ordinance of the assigned zone shall be required to incorporate the zoning of the property into the official citywide zoning map.

  • F. Unclassified Areas. Dedicated circulation rights-of-way, utility or maintenance easements/ corridors, creek easements, railroad rights-of-way, or similar nonoccupancy uses shown within a designated zone shall be deemed to be unclassified and shall not be used for development or structural purposes inconsistent with the established right-of-way use. In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11.33, Parking Standards, off-street automobile parking may be permitted within such unclassified rights-of-way. Railroad rights-of-way shall be used solely for the purpose of accommodating tracks, signals, other operative devices, and the movement of rolling stock, unless otherwise vacated.

CHAPTER 11.21 LAND USE TYPES

Exceptions & meaning →

§ 11.21.010. Purpose and intent.

This chapter establishes the process and standards for the regulation of land uses as applicable to all zones and applied to all real property within the city. No land use may be permitted or established unless it is in full compliance with this title and the applicable conditions of approval. (Ord. 2323 § 1 Exh. A (part), 4-28-2015)

Exceptions & meaning →

§ 11.21.020. General requirements.

All land uses shall conform to the purpose and intent of the applicable zone, and shall comply with the following:

  • A. Land Use Operations. No operations conducted on any property shall create objectionable and/or obnoxious dust, light, matter, mud, noise, odor, refuse, smoke, steam, vibration, maintenance needs of grounds or buildings, or other nuisance(s). No land use shall be detrimental to the health and welfare of the South Gate community.

  • B. Unlisted or Similar Compatible Uses. Any land use that is not specifically listed in the land use tables for the applicable zone shall not be allowed or permitted within the zone. However, the director shall have the authority to determine whether the proposed use may be permitted when all the following findings are made by the director in writing:

    1. The characteristics of, and activities associated with, the proposed use are equivalent to and compatible with one or more of the listed permitted uses, and will not involve a higher level of activity or density than the permitted uses.

    2. The proposed use is substantially similar to a listed permitted use.

    3. The proposed use is compatible with the purpose and intent of the applicable zone.

    4. The proposed use has similar traffic, noise, light, odor, and other operational impacts as a listed permitted use.

    5. The operation of the proposed use will not be detrimental to existing uses in the area of influence.

Decisions of the director may be appealed as described in Chapter 11.50, Administration.

  • C. Unlisted Use Permit Findings. Consideration of and findings for the determination of the classification, permissibility, or applicability of an unlisted or similar compatible use, as defined in subsection (B) of this section, shall be based on the degree of compatibility between the use in question and adjacent uses. Technical evidence and scientific means, when available, shall be considered in determining the form and intensity of performance standards typically associated with any identifiable type of use in question.

  • D. Unlisted Standards and Permit Requirements. When the director makes the subsection (B) of this section findings in writing, the proposed use will be treated in the same regulatory manner as the zone listed use for allowable location(s), permits required, and all other applicable standards and requirements of this title.

  • E. Prohibited Uses. For the purposes of public health, safety, and general welfare, land uses listed in Table 11.21-1 are prohibited in any zone in the city, and are not subject to the director's discretion. The city represents a small portion of the entire metropolitan area, and constitutes a single, economic area of industry and commerce within Los Angeles County. Full provision is made for all types of uses necessary for industrial development within the county and thus the following uses, because of their nuisance and hazard characteristics if permitted within the developed area of South Gate, would defeat the basic purposes of zoning. The exclusion of these land uses from the city represents a reasonable regulation, because full provision for the appropriate locations of these uses is ensured by the total land use pattern of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.
