Chapter 17.26 — PACIFIC HAMPTON DISTRICT (MU-PH ZONE)

• A. Purpose. The Pacific Hampton District is centered around a cluster of smaller-scale, midcentury singlestory industrial buildings which are slowly being transformed into production studios, creative offices, commercial kitchens and other nonresidential/nonretail uses. The standards in this chapter maintain the low-scaled character of the district, while allowing for new flexibility in uses and accommodation of parking.

• B. Standards and Nonconforming Uses. The regulation of uses and establishment of development standards and site planning standards set forth in the MU-PH Zone are those deemed necessary to establish an environment prioritizing creative industrial uses. The right to use and maintain legal nonconforming uses and legal nonconforming buildings and standards in the MUPH Zone and all overlay zones are governed by Section 17.64.010 , "Legal nonconforming status."
