Article 2 — Land Use Regulations

The land use standards in this article identify the land use types allowed by the city in each of the zones established by the regulating plan and determine the type of city approval required for each land use type. (Formerly 24H.200.1)

A. Allowed Land Uses. A parcel or building within the speciYc plan area shall be occupied by only the land uses allowed by Table 24.590-1 within the zone applied to the site by the regulating plan. Each land use listed in Table 24.590-1 is deYned in Article 10 of this chapter (Development Code Glossary).

1. Establishment of an Allowed Use.

   • a. Any one or more land uses identiYed by Table 24.590-1 as being allowed within a speciYc zone may be established on any parcel within that zone, subject to the planning permit requirement listed in the table, and in compliance with all applicable requirements of this development code.

The San Buenaventura Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2026-005, passed February 17, 2026.

b. If a parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the tables at the same time, the overall project shall be subject to the highest permit level required by the tables for any individual use. For example, a new multiuse building proposed with a permitted use on the second Zoor and a use requiring a use permit approval on the ground Zoor would require use permit approval for the entire project.

2. Use Not Listed.

a. A land use that is not listed in Table 24.590-1, and is determined by the director to not be included in Article 10 of this chapter (Development Code Glossary) under the deYnition of a listed land use, is not allowed within the speciYc plan area.
