Yuba County Municipal Code Ch. 11.09 Industrial Districts

11.09.010. - Purpose.¶

The purpose of the industrial districts is to provide for the development of varied industrial uses that would supply needed employment opportunities for the County.

(1) Industrial development has inherent characteristics that require special attention and protection. Consideration must be given to industrial needs for adequate site locations with regard to: terrain, parcel size, availability of water and sewer systems, transportation, and compatibility with surrounding development.

(2) Industrial commercial (IC). The purpose of the IC district is to be applied to property designated as industrial/commercial pursuant to Measure R (Yuba County Raceway) which can be used for, or proposed to be used for, a mix of light industrial and commercial uses which are compatible with the uses to be developed in the adjacent sports/entertainment district.

(3) General industrial (IG). The purpose of the IG district is to:

a. Reserve appropriately located areas for industrial plants and related activities; including operations that necessitate the storage of large volumes of hazardous or unsightly materials, or which produce dust, smoke, fumes, odors, or noise at levels that would affect surrounding uses.

b. Protect areas appropriate for industrial use from intrusion by residential dwellings and other conflicting uses.

c. Limited amounts of ancillary retail areas are permitted for the sale and or display of products manufactured on-site.

(4) Light industrial (IL). The purpose of the IL district is to:

a. Provide for compatible land uses in areas of close proximity to residential areas and less intense commercial areas.

b. Allow for light industrial and service commercial uses with limited potential to create noise, odor, vibration, or other similar impacts to adjacent uses and surrounding areas. Uses may include ancillary retail areas for the sale of products manufactured on-site.

c. Allow opportunity for other types of industrial uses by providing discretionary and conditional approval of proposed industrial land uses where impacts to adjacent uses can be mitigated.

d. Provide opportunities for industrial projects in a campus like environment where limited amounts of retail, services, restaurants and public/quasi-public uses are permitted to serve on-site employees.
