Chapter 17.08 — SPECIAL PURPOSE ZONES

• A. Special Purpose Zones. The purposes of the Special Purpose Zones are to:

  1. Provide and protect areas and parcels within the City for special purposes, including Cable Airport; institutional uses involving schools and public health care facilities; park and recreational open space areas; gravel mining activities; and public utilities;

  2. Reserve land for a range of public services in order to meet the needs of current and future residents; and

  3. Apply appropriate administrative and development standards to provide uses that will complement the physical characteristics of surrounding residential, commercial, and industrial properties and avoid any negative impacts.

Additional purposes of each Special Purpose Zone:

• B. Cable Airport (CA). The CA zone is intended to encourage and secure the future of Cable Airport and its continued physical improvement in the best interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City. Standards in the CA zone are intended to support aviation as well as aeronautics-related businesses and services that benefit from or require proximity to an airport. Permitted land uses include the airport, aircraft land field, and associated uses such as runways, taxiways, runway lighting and similar navigation aids, charter aircraft operations, aircraft sales and service, aircraft storage, sale of aviation petroleum products, car rental, flying schools, pilot lounges and airport offices, and other similar uses. Land uses that serve visitors to the airport and the general public such as cafes and retail shops are also permitted. The CA zone implements the Cable Airport (CA) land use designation in the General Plan.

• C. Public/Institutional (PB/I). The purpose of the PB/I zone is to allow for public and quasi-public facilities that serve Upland residents and visitors and enhance the quality of life within the City. Permitted uses in the PB zone include public schools; parks and playgrounds; community centers; museums, cultural, and interpretive facilities; public libraries; governmental offices; police and fire stations; and hospitals. Public uses permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit include large-scale facilities such as cemeteries, correctional institutions, major utilities, and other similar public works projects. Quasi-public uses permitted in the PB/I zone with the approval of a Conditional or Administrative Use Permit include religious facilities, private hospitals, private schools, day care facilities, and private institutions. The maximum FAR in the PB/I zone is 0.5. The PB/I zone implements the Institutional (I), Civic/Schools (C-S), and Public Utilities (PU) land use designations in the General Plan.

The maximum FAR in the PB/I zone is 0.5. The PB/I zone implements the Institutional (I), Civic/Schools (C-S), and Public Utilities (PU) land use designations in the General Plan.

• D. Open Space (OS). The OS zone is intended to provide for permanent green space in the community as a means to support the health and quality of life for citizens of Upland, provide shelter and habitat for wildlife, beautify the City, and promote environmental sustainability, including improved air quality. The OS zone is intended to provide active and passive public parks of all sizes to meet the needs of the population served, parks that are high quality, well maintained, and designed to sustain the environment. The OS zone is also intended to make allowances for other forms of open space, such as natural hillside areas, water-spreading basins, and groundwater recharge, as part of the City's water conservation program. Residential, commercial, and industrial activities are not supported within the Open Space zone. The OS zone implements the Park/Open Space (P-OS) land use designation in the General Plan.

• E. Mining (M). The M zone is intended to encourage the production and conservation of minerals while giving consideration to values relating to recreation, watershed, wildlife, range and forage, aesthetic enjoyment, and the continued well-being of the economy and the needs of society. The purpose of the M zone is to regulate all surface mining activity in Upland as authorized by the California Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 and to prevent or minimize the adverse effects of surface mining. It is also the intent of this zone to ensure that mined lands will be reclaimed to a useable condition that is readily adaptable for alternative land use. The M zone implements the Gravel Mine (GM) land use designation in the General Plan.

Table 17.08-1 (Permitted Land Uses in Special Purpose Zones) identifies land uses permitted in the special purpose zones. The "Applicable Regulations" column notes additional regulations that apply to specific land uses in some or all districts.
