Rancho Cucamonga City Council

As has previously been described to the Commission and Council, the Development Code and General Plan are living documents in that they are intended to change over time to reflect the evolving complexity of the development review process. With this understanding, staff is now proposing a series of development code updates along with zoning map amendments to ensure consistency between the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map. The amendments proposed in this staff report are to ensure that the Development Code maintains consistency with the City’s vision for development as outlined by the General Plan.

On October 11, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed Development Code text amendments and Zoning Map amendments discussed in this report. Prior to the meeting, on October 10, 2023, staff received written correspondence from an interested individual requesting that the Planning Commission continue the item so that that individual could have sufficient time to study the proposed amendments. In their letter, the interested individual noted that they felt as though sufficient time hadn’t been given for stakeholders to review the proposed code amendments. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to continue the item to a date certain of November 8, 2023, in response to the letter received. Staff reached out to the interested party and was able to meet with them to discuss their concerns about prior to the meeting. At the November 8, 2023, public hearing on this item, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the recommended amendments, with two changes:

1. The Planning Commission recommended that proposed “Major Exceptions” which were proposed to be included in Article II of the Development Code not be included at this time. These Major Exceptions were presented to the Commission as a mechanism by which applicants could seek relief from certain form-based standards as part of the discretionary review process. Upon deliberating on this topic, the Commission felt that this concept was unclear as presented in the staff report and may not fully align with the objectives of the General Plan.

2. During the November 8, 2023, Planning Commission public hearing, a graphical error was found in a map illustrating proposed zoning changes around the intersection of Rochester Avenue and Arrow Route. Specifically, there is a city-owned parcel illustrated which was erroneously included as part of a zone change. This error has been corrected and the revised zoning map amendments are included with this staff report.

ANALYSIS:

The Development Code text amendments consist of various technical amendments to Articles III, V, VII, VIII, and IX of the Development Code and include corrections to formatting and typographic errors, new/clarified development standards, new sections, and the creation of new CE1 subzone.

The proposed text amendments are listed below:

Article III – Zones, Allowed Uses, and Development Standards

1. Section 17.30.030 (Allowed land uses and permit requirements); Amendments to Table

17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone) •“Work/Live” will be added to the Industrial, Manufacturing, and Processing Uses section of the Use Table. The “Work/Live” use is permitted in the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) zones.
•“Alternative Fuel Station, with Lounge” will be added to the Land Use Table to allow the development of new service stations exclusively for alternative fuel vehicles in the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) zones. •Footnote 11 on Table 17.30.030-1, which references two old industrial zones - Industrial Park (IP) and General Industrial (GI) – which no longer exist, will be deleted.

2 1

Through a previous code amendment, the Industrial Park (IP) zone and General Industrial (GI) zone became the Neo-Industrial (NI) zone.

2. Section 17.32.020.G.6, 8, and 9 (Allowed Use Descriptions) •The use description for “automobile service station, general” will be updated to provide clarity between service stations for petroleum-based fuel vehicles and service stations for alternative fuel vehicles. Additionally, a new use description will be added for “Electric Vehicle Charging, Ancillary” and “Alternative Fuel Station with Lounge”.

These two new use descriptions will provide clarity between charging equipment for electric vehicles that is installed in an existing development (shopping center, restaurant parking lot, etc.) and a new service station that is developed for the sole purpose of providing alternative fuel options (similar to a gas station, but for alternative fuel vehicles).

3.Section 17.36.020 (Development standards for two units in single-family residential zones) •The affordability requirement for new residential units over 800 square feet will be deleted. State law now prohibits an affordability requirement for urban lot splits.

4.Section 17.36.030 (Urban lot splits in single-family residential zones) •The affordability requirement for new residential units over 800 square feet will be stricken. State law now prohibits an affordability requirement for urban lot splits.

5.Table 17.38.060-1 (Overlays and other Special Planning Areas – Land use table for The Resort)
•This section includes Footnote 13, with a reference to two industrial zones. Since the industrial zones do not exist in The Resort Specific Plan, this footnote is not relevant and will be deleted.

Article V – Specific Use Requirements

1. Section 17.89.020 (Development and design standards – Service Stations) •After the adoption of updated service station standards in an earlier amendment, a conflict was discovered. The regulation on the “number of automobile service stations per intersection” will be stricken as this requirement conflicts with the existing provision requiring a minimum 1,000-foot separation between Automobile Service Stations. A maximum of two service stations are currently allowed per intersection, however, the 1,000-foot separation requirement will likely prevent the ability to have two service stations an any intersection. The separation requirement will remain in the code, while the number of service stations per intersection will be stricken.

2. Section 17.91.040 (Development and design standards) •Subsection C.3.v states “drive-through lanes and stacking area shall be located adjacent and parallel to the public right-of-way.”, while the previous Subsection A.3.f prohibits drive-thru lanes between the property line and the front of a building. To avoid conflict, subsection C.3.v will be stricken, as part of the intent behind the drive-thru standards is to screen the drive-thru lane.

Article VII – Design Standards and Guidelines

1. Section 17.122.010 (Purpose and applicability), Table 17.122.010-1 (Single-Family Variations Required)
•Table 17.122.010-1 will be amended to reduce the number of floor plans that is

2 1
7 5
required per the number of dwelling units and provides clarity to related footnotes. As an example, the current provisions require a subdivision with 11-20 dwelling units to provide a minimum of 4 floor plans and 3 different elevations per floor plan. For a small subdivision of 12 units, for example, this will require four different plan types and three different elevations (architectural styles) per plan. While variety in design is appreciated and expected, achieving a variety of this level for a small subdivision has presented challenges. The amendment will be help create a less burdensome requirement for new smaller infill subdivisions, by slightly reducing the minimum number of floor plans for each range of dwelling units. The number of elevations per floor plan will remain the same, which will still ensure a variety of architectural styles is provided and a balanced neighborhood is established.

Article VIII – Form Based Code

1.Section 17.128.020 (Overview of Form-Based Zones)
•Amendment to Table 17.128.020-1 (Summary Table of Form-Based Zones), adding a CE1- SC subzone to the CE1 zone. This proposed subzone area is generally located south of Arrow Route, north and 7th Street, west of Archibald Avenue, and east of Helms Avenue. This new subzone will allow certain existing uses to remain, specifically Vehicle Services – Minor and Vehicle Services - Major. The area of the proposed subzone contains a current zoning designation of Neo-Industrial (NI), which allows the vehicle services uses. However, the current underlying General Plan Land Use is Traditional Town Center, which corresponds to the Center 1 (CE1) zone. To ensure the General Plan and Zoning map are consistent for this area, a zoning map amendment is proposed (discussed below). A direct zone change from NI to CE1 will result in a substantial amount of existing Vehicle Service business to become nonconforming and will also result in the use becoming “Not Permitted”. Through detailed research it was determined that the vehicle service uses made up over 30% of the unpermitted uses (roughly 20 of the 55 unpermitted uses). Additionally, these existing vehicle service operations are small, family-owned businesses that serve the local and surrounding community. While the zone change is necessary to facilitate the vision and purpose of the General Plan, it is not intended to “push out” local small businesses that bring value and purpose to the community. As such, a new subzone is proposed that is specific to the subject area to allow the existing vehicle service uses to remain in place and as permitted uses.

2. Section 17.130.030 (Applicable to All Zones)
•New language will be added to address proposed subdivisions in Form Based zones.

The Form-Based Code is currently silent on subdividing existing parcels without a proposed development. The new language will stipulate that when subdividing a parcel, each development site (or parcel) must be able to accommodate the largest building type allowed in the zone constructed in its smallest form. Each building type in the Form Base code contains a minimum and maximum footprint to ensure all proposed developments maintain an appropriate scale and massing. Using these standards will allow opportunities to subdivide a parcel in a Form Base zone without compromising its full development potential.

3.Section 17.130.050 (Specific to Zones); Table 17.130.050-1 (Required Build-to-Line, Height, and Frontage Area)
•The minimum and/or maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) will be updated in the following zones as follows:
oCE1: 0.2 min/1.0 max (Existing: 0.2 min/0.6 max)

2 1
7 5
oME1: 0.6 min/2.0 max (Existing: 0.4 min/1.0 max)
oME2: 0.4 min/2.0 max (Existing: 0.4 min/1.0 max)
The changes to the FAR will allow greater opportunities for development in these zones.

The existing FARs were proving to be strict and potentially limiting, which affects the ability to achieve the desired development types, including multi story development, in these zones that is envisioned by the General Plan.

4. Section 17.130.060 (Building Type Standards)
•The requirement limiting the amount of common open space for Mid-Rise and High- Rise building types will be deleted. This will remove any limitations on the amount of open space that is provided when developing two of the largest building types allowed in the Form Base Code. We do not want to restrict a development from providing as much open space as desired.

5.Section 17.134.070 (Pocket Park)
•A minimum size of 1,000 square feet will be added for all proposed pocket parks in the Form Base code. The pocket park is a common selection by developers from the open space types in the Form Based Code, however, the code is currently silent on the minimum size a pocket park must be. Providing this minimum size for the pocket park will ensure the park space is functional and serves the needs of the community.

6.Section 17.136.020 (Allowed Land Uses) Amendment to Table 17.136.020-1 (Allowed Land Uses in Form-Based Zones)
•The table will be updated to add the Center 1 – Southwest Rancho Cucamonga (CE1- SC) subzone as a column on the Allowed Land Uses table. All existing uses from the CE1 zone, along with the inclusion of vehicle services minor and vehicle services major, will also be added to the Allowed Land Uses table.

Zoning Map Amendments:

The proposed Zoning Map Amendments include updating the zoning of certain areas to be consistent with the underlying General Plan Land Use Designation and to address incorrect zoning from inadvertent oversight. The General Plan was updated in 2021 to address many issues facing the city, including the strong desire for quality places that met the diverse needs of the community. Through the General Plan process, several areas were identified as great opportunities to address these challenges by updating the land use designations and establishing new visions, new goals, and new objectives.

Most of the zoning changes were adopted in 2022 as part of the Development Code and Zoning Map update to implement the general plan. In most circumstances, the new land use designation was fairly similar to the current designation, which made the accompanying zoning map amendments a marginal change. However, in other instances, the change to the land use designation was intentional to meet the community’s desire to see redevelopment of areas that correspond with the big ideas outlined in the General Plan. These changes lead to a significant change in the zoning, allowed uses, and development requirements of these areas. Due to the nature of these changes, staff desired to take additional time to review and analyze the potential impacts to these properties and develop a path forward that would minimize potential impacts while still achieving the goals of the General Plan. The zoning amendments are summarized below.

Southwest Rancho Cucamonga
An area within Southwest Rancho Cucamonga (see Image 1 above) will be rezoned with a new subzone known as Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SC). During outreach for PlanRC, the Southwest Cucamonga community expressed a strong desire for a downtown/town center that provided access to goods and service in a walkable environment within their community. In response to this desire, the General Plan land use was updated from Neo-Industrial (NI) to Traditional Town Center across various parcels within the historic boundaries of Southwest Cucamonga. The proposed zoning map amendment will modify the current zoning designation of Neo-Industrial to the new zoning of CE1-SC, which is consistent with the Traditional Town Center land use designation. The Form Base Code will regulate the new subzone, including the development standards and land use requirements, for future development.

2 1
7 5
A detailed analysis of existing businesses within the subject zone change area was conducted by Staff to understand the types of uses that are currently in operation and how the zone change might impact them. The CE1 zone is the corresponding zone for the Traditional Town Center land use designation. Staff analyzed the area of the zone change to gain a better understanding of the existing uses and business currently in operation. There are roughly 180 businesses in the area.

A comparison of these existing business to the land use table of the CE1 zone resulted in nearly 55 business/uses becoming “Not Permitted”, which is roughly 30 percent of the local businesses in that community. Using the analysis, Staff took a closer look at the unpermitted uses and of the 55 business, approximately 18 of these uses were local small businesses, particularly vehicle service uses, that serve a valuable need and purpose to the community. While the Traditional Town Center designation is intended to create walkable downtown/town center place that meets the desire of the community, the change was not intended to push out local, small businesses that hold great value to the residents and surrounding community. As such, the CE1-SC subzone was created to help balance the shift between the existing uses and the expectations of the CE1 zone. In short, creating a new CE1-SC subzone will minimize the number of legal nonconforming uses that would otherwise result if typical CE1 standards were applied.

One key component to the CE1-SC subzone is the regulation of some of the existing business, particularly the vehicle service uses. These existing uses and their existing buildings are permitted to remain; however, new vehicle service uses cannot be established. This specific criterion is identified as a new footnote on the land use table in the Form Base code. Placing this restriction on future vehicle service uses establishes a balance between the vision and expectations of the Traditional Town Center and the value of the local, small business. The vision of the Traditional Town Center can be achieved over time without coming at the abrupt expense of small business owners.

Rochester / Jack Benny / Arrow Area

An area along Rochester Avenue near Jack Benny Drive and Arrow Avenue (see Image 2 above) will be rezoned to Corridor 2. The land use designation in this area was updated during PlanRC from Neo-Industrial to Corridor High. This amendment will modify the current zoning designation of Neo-Industrial to Corridor 2 (CO2). The zoning amendment will result in a change in the allowed uses, however, the impacts to existing business in this area will be minimal. Using analysis completed by Staff, it was determined that a majority of the businesses fall under the commercial uses category, which is more aligned with the CO2 zone than the NI zone. This minimizes any concerns with nonconformities and minimizes the impacts to existing uses. The amendment will not only bring consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Map, it will also help facilitate future development that will complement the vision around the Epicenter. To be clear, the city- owned parcel at the northwest corner of Rochester and Arrow Route is not included in this proposed zone amendment.

Various Parcels at Southwest Corner of Vineyard Avenue and Arrow Route Various parcels near the southwest corner of Vineyard Avenue and Arrow Route (see Image 3 above) will be rezoned to Neighborhood General 3 (NG3). The land use designation in this area was updated during the comprehensive General Plan update in 2021 from Neo-Industrial (NI) to Neighborhood Corridor. This amendment will modify the current zoning designation from Neo- Industrial (NI) to NG3 to ensure consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Map and to help facilitate medium intensity, neighborhood serving development in the future.

Vacant Parcel on Carnelian Street, South of 19th Street This parcel on Carnelian Street, south of 19th Street (see Image 4 above) contains a General Plan land use designation of Traditional Neighborhood. The parcel should contain a corresponding zoning designation of Low Residential (L), however the parcel was inadvertently missed during the comprehensive zoning map update in May 2022. This amendment is a technical clean-up that will apply the L residential zoning designation to the parcel to correct the error.

Environmental Review:

In approving the General Plan update in December 2021, the City Council certified the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City has reviewed the proposed amendments to the Development Code and Zoning Map against the General Plan EIR and determined the EIR adequately addresses all the environmental issues associated with the project. The proposed project would not result in any new significant impacts on the environment based upon the analysis and conclusions presented in the General Plan EIR. In addition, previously identified significant impacts would not become substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR. Finally, no new feasible mitigation measures have been identified that would substantially reduce significant impacts identified in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, staff has prepared an EIR Addendum (Attachment 3 to this report) for the amendments to the Development Code and Zoning Map. Unlike an EIR, an Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact resulting from the proposed Development Code amendments and Zoning Map amendments. However, the adoption of these amendments will help facilitate future development that is consistent with the vision outlined in the General Plan. The General Plan vision for denser, mixed use urban centers can help Rancho Cucamonga maintain a high level of fiscal performance and become a regional destination and focal point of activity.

COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:

These amendments address multiple City Council Core Values, including providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all, and intentionally embracing and anticipating the future. The Development Code is the implementing tool for the General Plan, which has laid out the vision for Rancho Cucamonga over the next 10- 20 years. The amendments proposed in this staff report will further support these visions by offering clarity in the review process, flexibility with certain standards, and zoning updates that will facilitate future improvements throughout the City.

ARTICLE III. ZONES, ALLOWED USES, AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Chapter 17.26 ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONES

17.26.010 Chapter purpose.

This chapter establishes the framework of zones within the city and their relationships to the city’s general plan land use designations. (Code 1980, § 17.26.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.26.020 Zones established.

A. Zone purpose. Zones are established in order to classify, regulate, designate, and distribute the uses of land and buildings; to regulate and restrict th e height, setbacks and bulk of buildings; to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces around buildings; and to regulate the density of population. The city is divided into zones that are grouped into two categories: (a) base zones and (b) overlay z ones. These zones are listed and described in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones), along with the general plan land use designation that they implement.

B. Base zones. The base zone is the primary zone that applies to a property. Every parcel throughout the city has a base zone that establishes the primary land use type, density, intensity, and site development regulations.

Base zones are grouped into five categories as follows:

1. Residential Zones.

2. Form-Based Zones.

3. Industrial Zones.

4. Open Space Zones.

5. Special Purpose Zones.

C. Overlay zones. The Overlay Zones supplement base zones for one or more of the following purposes:

1. To allow more flexibility from the standard provisions of the underlying base zone.

2. To protect unique site features or implement location-specific regulations.

3. To specify a particular standard or guideline for an area.

D. Sub zones. Sub zones are subsets of the primary zone. Sub zones align with the primary zone development standards and uses requirements except where otherwise noted in this title.

E. In the event of a conflict between the regulations of the base zone and the Overlay Zone, the provisions of the Overlay Zone shall apply.

B. Map amendments. Amendments to the zoning map shall follow the zoning amendment process established in chapter 17.22 (City Council Decisions) and shall be reflected on the city’s zoning map.

C. Record of zoning map changes. The zoning map and a record of all prior amendments thereto shall be kept on file with the city clerk and shall constitute the original record. Electronic and hard copies of the currently effective zoning map shall also be kept on file with the planning department.

D. Relationship to general plan. The zoning map shall impl ement and be consistent with the city’s adopted general plan.

E. Zone symbol. Zones shall be illustrated on the zoning map as follows:

1. Each base zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative zone symbol, as listed in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones).

2. Each adopted Specific Plan shall be delineated with the respective zone symbol (SP ) and number to distinguish it from other adopted Specific Plans and/or Planned Communities. This designation on the zoning map serves to provide a reference to the corresponding master plan project documents adopted by the city council.

3. Each Overlay Zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative symbol in conjunction with the base zone symbol (e.g., VL -H), as listed in Table 17.26.020 -1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones). (Code 1980, § 17.28.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.28.020 Zoning map interpretation.

If there is uncertainty about the location of any zone boundary shown on the zoning map, the precise location of the boundary shall be determined by the planning director as listed below.

A. The boundaries of a zone shall be the parcel lines of real property, unless otherwise shown. Where a zone’s boundaries approximately follow plot lines, those lines shall be interpreted as the zone boundaries.

B. If a zone boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is not specified by distances printed on the zoning map, the location of the boundary shall be determined by using the scale appearing on the zoning map.

Except as otherwise provided by this Code through integrated development, each portion of the property shall be developed to the standards and allowed use provisions of the applied zone and any applied overlay zone(s).

C. Where the street layout on the ground or the parcel lines differs from such layout or lines shown on the zoning map, the planning director shall determine the exact boundary and the zoning map shall be amended to conform to the layout on the ground.

D. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley shall be included within the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned street or alley. (Code 1980, § 17.28.020; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

Chapter 17.30 ALLOWED LAND USE BY BASE ZONE

17.30.010 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish allowed land uses and corresponding requirements for permits and entitlements for each of the city’s base zones. Standards and allowed use regulations for form-based zones are provided in article VIII (Form-Based Code). Uses allowed herein are consistent with and implement the corresponding land use designations in the city’s general plan. Allowed land uses include both primary and accessory uses that are permanent in nature. Regulations for temporary uses are listed separately in chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses). (Code 1980, § 17.30.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.30.020 Classification of land uses.

In order to simplify land use regulations, land uses listed in this chapter and throughout this title have been grouped into general categories on the basis of common function, product, or compatibility characteristics. These allowed use categories are called “use classifications.” Use classifications describe one or more uses having similar characteristics but do not list every use or activity that may appropriately be within the classification. Each

land use is described in chapter 17.32 (Allowed Use Descriptions). For example, “personal service use” includes a wide range of individual personal service uses (beauty parlor, dry cleaning, tanning salons, tailors). Rather than listing all such uses individually throughout this title, “personal service use” is listed once and is further described in chapter 17.32 (Allowed Use Descriptions).

The following rules apply to use classifications:

A. Specific use regulations. Additional use regulations for specific land uses are listed in article V (Specific Use Requirements).

B. Temporary uses. Land use classifications in this chapter identify both primary and secondary or accessory uses that are permanent in nature. Temporary uses are separately listed and regulated in chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses).

C. Uses not listed. Land uses that are not listed in the zone tables are not allowed, except as otherwise provided for in this title.

D. Illegal uses. No use that is illegal under local, state, or federal law shall be allowed in any zone within the city.

E. Overlay zones. When a property is located within an Overlay Zone, any special allowed use provisions associated with said Overlay Zone shall apply. If the special allowed use provisions for the Overlay Zone are in conflict with the allowed use provisions of the base zone, the allowed use provisions for the Overlay Zone shall prevail.

F. Special planning areas. When a property is located within a designated Special Planning Area (e.g., Specific Plan, Planned Community, master plan), there may be special allowed use provisions associated with the adopted/approved area plan. If the documents associated with the Special Planning Area are silent regarding allowed use provisions, the allowed use provisions of the b ase zone shall apply. If the allowed use provisions of the adopted/approved area plan conflict with the allowed use provisions of the base zone, the allowed use provisions for the Special Planning Area shall prevail.

G. Similar uses. When a use is not specifically listed in this Code, it shall be understood that the use may be permitted if the planning director determines that the use is substantially similar to other uses listed based on established criteria and required findings outlined in section 17 .16.100 (Similar Use Determination). It is further recognized that every conceivable use cannot be identified in this title and, anticipating that new uses will evolve over time, the planning director may make a similar use determination to compare a propo sed use and measure it against those uses listed. (Code 1980, § 17.30.020; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.30.030 Allowed land uses and permit requirements.

A. Allowed land uses. Allowed uses and corresponding permit and entitlement requirements for the base zon es are listed in Table 17.30.030 -1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). Uses are organized into common categories as follows:

1. Residential uses.

2. Agriculture and animal related uses.

3. Recreation, resource preservation, open space, education, and public assembly uses.

4. Utility, transportation, public facility, and communication uses.

5. Office and service uses.

6. Retail and restaurant uses.

7. Automobile and vehicle uses.

8. Industrial, manufacturing, and processing uses.

B. Permit requirements. Generally, a use is either allowed by right, allowed through issuance of a conditional use permit, or not permitted. In addition to the requirements for planning permits or entitlements listed herein, other permits and entitlements may be required prior to establishment of the use (e.g., building permit or permits required by other agencies). The requirements for planning permits or entitlements identified in Table

17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone) include:

1. Permitted (P). A land use shown with a “P” indicates that the land use is permitted byright in the designated zone, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions ofthis title (e.g., development standards) as well state and federal law.

2. Permitted with a Minor Use Permit (M) . A land use shown with an “M” indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a minor use permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provi sions of this zoning code (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.

3. Conditionally permitted (C). A land use shown with a “C” indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a conditional use permit fromthe designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this zoning code (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.

4. Not permitted (N) . A land use shown with an “N” is not allowed in the applicable zone. Additionally, uses not shown in the table are not permitted, except as otherwise provided for in this title.

5. Adult entertainment permit (A). A land use shown with an “A” indicates that the landuse is permitted in the designated zone upon i ssuance of an adult entertainment permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this zoning code (e.g., development operational standards) as well as state andfederal law.

C. Base zone and subzone names and symbols. Base zone and subzone names for the zone symbols used in the table are listed below. Specific Plan (SP) and is not listed in the table as the allowed uses for those zones are determined in compliance with the adopted Specific Plan.

17.30.040 Other allowed use provisions.

In addition to the allowed use provisions listed in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone), additional allowed use provisions are described in the following articles and chapters of this title:

A. Specific use requirements. Article V (Specific Use Requirements) identifies several use types that have special land use and/or development requirements. Some of these use types have special requirements or regulations established by state or federal law and others have special requirements based on local issues, priorities, and preferences. Use regulations in article V are intended to supplement the allowed use regulations in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone).

B. Outdoor sales and operations . Unless permitted by definition in chapter 17.32 (Allowed Use Descriptions) or permitted as a temporar y use with an approved permit in chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses), all businesses shall be conducted within an enclosed building.

C. Temporary uses. In addition to the permanent land use listings in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone), chapter 17.104 (Temporary Uses) establishes regulations for uses that are temporary in nature.

D. O verlay zones . In addition to the allowed land use regulations in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone) for the city’s base zones, chapter 17.38 (Overlay Zones) identifies special regulations and requirements for land uses within the Overlay Zones.

E. Special planning areas. Article VI (Special Planning Areas) identifies areas of the city with adopted planning documents for development within each respective project area (e.g., specific plans, Planned Communities, master plans). These planning documents establish land use and/or development regulations that are unique to the particular project area. Where those planning documents conflict with allowed use listings in Table

17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone), the allowed uses in the Special Planning Area documents shall prevail.

F. Conversion of residential structures . No structure originally designed as a residence (including hotels and motels), or as an accessory structure or addition to a residence, shall be used for any commercial or office uses unless the building and site are improved to meet all Code requirements for an office or commercial development. This includes such things as, but not limited to, building code requirements, fire code requirements, and Development Code requirements. Such a conversion shall be subject to t he development review or conditional use permit process, as required by the base zone use regulations contained in Table

17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone).

G. Hillside residential.

1. The Hillside Residential Zone permits singl e residential dwellings either on separate lots or clustered together in a buildable area along with accessory structures only. Uses other than residential dwellings are deemed to be too intensive and are not consistent with the general plan.

2. Hillside deve lopment review is required for any subdivision or development within the Hillside Residential Zone. As part of the hillside development review, environmental studies and investigations such as, but not limited to, geological, hydrological, seismic, slope and soil conditions, access/circulation, and biota research, shall be conducted for any development in this zone. Based on this information, the actual number of dwelling units shall be determined. However, the maximum density shall not exceed two dwelling units per net buildable acre. Determining the buildable area of a site must also meet the performance development criteria in this chapter. Additionally, a site plan showing lot layouts, access, street design, building locations, building design, vegetatio n management, wildfire protection, and grading shall be prepared in accordance with the review procedures contained in article II (Land Use and Development Procedures). All such proposals must comply with the absolute policies, design standards, and standards in this title. (Code 1980, § 17.30.040; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012) H. Additional Agricultural uses. Agricultural uses are allowed on certain lots, subject to the requirements of Section 17.32.030 (Agricultural uses permitted or conditionally permitted).

I. Industrial Interim uses. Additional uses are allowed in certain industrial zones on an interim basis, according to Section 17.36.40.D.

Chapter 17.32 ALLOWED USE DESCRIPTIONS

17.32.010 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to describe use classifications listed in chapter 17.30 (Allowed Land Use by Base Zone). Use classifications are land uses that have been grouped into general categories on the basis of common function, product, or compatibility characteristics. This chapter should be used as a reference for the land use classifications listed throughout this title. Additional definitions for specialized terms used in the zoning code can be found in article IX (Glossary). (Code 1980, § 17.32.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.32.020 Allowed use descriptions.

The following list represents the complete list of allowed uses by land use classification and corresponding descriptions as used in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone) and

throughout this title. Individual use classifications describe one or more uses having similar characteristics, but do not list every use or activity thatmay appropriately be within the classification. Allowed uses are organized into the following use categories as follows:
• Residential uses.

17.34.010 Purpose and applicability.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide the process for determining building height and setbacks and identifying exceptions to height limits and setback requirement. Additionally, this chapter also describes special site development requirements. These standards are applicable to all development in the city. (Code 1980, § 17.34.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.34.020 Building site requirements.

Chapter 17.36 (Development Standards by Base Zone) identifies the minimum development standards for development projects in the various base zones in the city. These include standards for minimum lot size, allowed density, height, and setback requirements. Additional requirements listed throughout this title include landscaping, fences and walls, lighting, and parking (see article IV, Site Development Provisions). (Code 1980, § 17.34.020; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.34.030 Height measurement and exceptions.

The following rules apply to the calculation and determination of height of structures within the city. The intent of these regulations is to provide for compatibility in the measure of building height under a variety of circumstances (e.g., sloped site).

A. Height measurement. The height of a structure shall be measured as the vertical distance from the average elevation of the finished grade to the highest point of the structure. The measure excludes architectural features and appurtenances such as, but not limited to, chimneys, antennas, elevator and similar mechanical equipment.

B. Height limits. Height limits are established throughout this title. Primarily, height limits are listed in chapter 17.36 (Development Standards by Base Zone) where they are listed by zone. Additional height limits are established for accessory structures (chapter 17.42), fences and walls (chapter 17.48), outdoor lighting (chapter 17.58), and signs (chapters 17.72 and 17.74).

C. Height exceptions. The following features are excluded from height limits, provided they do not exceed 15 feet in height above the structure (see Figure 17.34-030-2, Height Exceptions):

1. Flues.

2. Chimneys.

2. Exclusivity of required yard area. No yard or other open space provided around any building for the purpose of complying with this title shall be considered as providing a yard or open space for any other building or structure.

B. Front yards. Generally, the front yard setback is determined by the front lot line, which is the lot line paralleling the street. However, for flag lots and other irregularly shaped parcels, the front lot line is determined to be the narrowest portion of the lot. For flag lots, this excludes the narrow portion of the lot that represents the “pole.” See Figure 17.34.040-1 (Front Yard Setback Measurement for Irregular Lots).

FIGURE 17.34.040-1 FRONT YARD SETBACK MEASUREMENT FOR IRREGULAR LOTS

C. Street yards. Except as otherwise permitted, a street yard shall be used only for landscaping, pedestrian walkways, driveways, or off-street parking.

D. Rear and interior side yards. Except as otherwise permitted, these yards shall be used only for landscaping, pedestrian walkways, driveways, off-street parking or loading, recreational activities or facilities, or similar accessory activities.

(3) Developing multi-family in the LM zone and single-family in the M zone at the maximum density requires compliance with Standards for Higher Residential Densities as outlined in section 17.36.020.D. (4) Setbacks are measured between the structure and curb face in front yards and corner side yards. Setbacks are measured between the structure and property line in rear yards and interior side yards. (5) Average setback, which shall vary +/- five feet.

(6) Applies to buildings two stories and taller in height. Add ten more feet for each story over two stories. (7) In hillside areas, heights shall be limited to 30 feet. (8) Free and clear of obstructions.
(9) Senior citizen projects are exempted from this requirement. (10) To assure that smaller units are not concentrated in any one area or project, the following percentage limitations of the total number of units shall apply: Ten percent for efficiency/studio and 35 percent for one bedroom or up to 35 percent combined.

Subject to a conditional use permit, the planning commission may authorize a greater ratio of efficiency or one -bedroom units when a development exhibits innovative design qualities and a balanced mix of unit sizes and types. (11) “Front” is defined as the face of the building or unit with the major glass area and/or major recreation area and may include access to that private recreation area. This access may or may not relate to the primary entrance to the building that faces the street or drive; therefore, some buildings may have more than one front. (12) Waterways preserved count towards overall common open space requirements.

Subject to a conditional use permit, the planning commission may authorize a greater ratio of efficiency or one-bedroom units when a development exhibits innovative design qualities and a balanced mix of unit sizes and types. (14) “Front” is defined as the face of the building or unit with the major glass area and/or major recreation area and may include access to that private recreation area. This access may or may not relate to the primary entrance to the building that faces the street or drive; therefore, some buildings may have more than one front. (15) For single-family residential development in the Medium (M) Residential Zone, these standards shall apply. (16) For multi-family residential development in the Medium (M) Residential Zone, these standards shall apply. (17) Waterways preserved count towards overall common open space requirements.

D. Recreation area/facility. Where required, in the M, MH and H residential zones, the developer shall provide recreational amenities in conjunction with common open space as follows:

1. Development consisting of 30 units or less shall provide three of the following recreational amenities:

1. Zero lot line. The dwelling unit may be placed on one interior side property line with a zero setback, and the dwelling unit setback on the other interior side property line shall be a minimum of ten feet, excluding the connecting elements such as fences, walls, and trellises. Pools, decks, garden features, and other similar elements shall be permitted within the ten-foot setback area, provided, however, no structure, with the exception of fences or walls, shall be placed within easements required below. Where adjacent zero lot line dwellings are not constructed against a common lot line, the builder or developer must provide for a perpetual wall maintenance easement of five feet in width along the adjacent lot and parallel with such wall.

2. Usable yard area. For single-family detached and semi-detached development, a minimum area of 400 square feet (with a minimum horizontal dimension if any direction of 15 feet) usable rear yard area that is graded flat and level shall be provided between the rear of the primary dwelling unit and the rear property line. If the development is located in an area with slopes or grade differences between properties, then this flat area shall be located at the top or toe (base) of non- retained slope banks. If there are retaining walls , this usable yard area shall be at the top and behind, or at the toe and in frant, of a retaining wall in areas of hilly or sloped terrain where grading is being designed to minimize alteration to the natural land form, usable open space may be provided i n the form of decks, patios, balconies, or some similar form of built structure designed to fit the natural topography rather than as graded level yard area.

3. Visitor parking . For projects with private streets or driveways, visitor parking required by chapter 17.64 (Parking and Loading Standards) shall be provided in off -street visitor parking bays within 150 feet of all dwelling units.

5. Amenities. To enhance the quality of life for multi -family development, additional amenities shall be required as follows:
a. Laundry facility. Each unit shall be provided with a hookup for a washing machine and clothes dryer in the interior of the dwelling, or common laundry facilities shall

be provided and equipped with washing machines and clothes dryers at a rate of one washing machine and clothes dryer per five units. Common laundry facilities should be conveniently located for all residents within the complex. Common laundry facilities can be within freestanding buildings, attached to dwelling units, or within the recreation room. The design of the common laundry facilities shall be architecturally compatible to the dwellings.

6. Roofing materials.
a. New development within Residential Zones shall have tile roofing material made of clay, ceramic, concrete, slate, or composite materials such as fiber-glass. Metal tile roofing may be considered if it is demonstrated by the applicant that the general appearance of it (such as the surface finish, color, and texture) are equivalent to the general appearance of, for example, concrete tile.
b. Existing development within Residential Zones may be re-roofed with a roofing material that is consistent with the architectural theme of the primary structure. At the discretion of the Planning Director, exceptions to this standard may be made for sustainable roof designs such as green roofs.
c. Additions to existing residential structure(s) and new accessory structures shall have roofing material that matches the roofing material on the existing residential structure(s). The exceptions is that a patio cover addition with a flat roof may have composite rolled roofing.

7. Roof-mounted air conditioning units . Replacement of existing permitted roof mounted air conditioning units that are located on residential development may be permitted. All other proposed roof mounted air conditioning units shall be placed entirely out of public view as seen from a public street, sidewalk, or Regional/Community multi-purpose trail.

8. Slope planting. Slope banks five feet or greater in vertical height and of 5:1 or greater slope, but less than 2:1 slope, shall be, at minimum, irrigated and landscaped with groundcover for erosion control. Slope banks five feet or greater in vertical height and of 2:1 or greater slope shall be landscaped and irrigated for erosion control and to soften their appearance as follows: one 15- gallon or larger size tree per each 150 square feet of slope area, one one -gallon or larger size shrub for each 100 square feet of slope area, and appropriate groundcover. In addition, slope banks in excess of eight feet in vertical and of 2:1 or greater slope shall also include one five- gallon or larger size tree per each 250 square feet of slope area. Trees and shrubs shall be planted in staggered clusters to soften and vary slope plane. Slope planting required by this section shall include a permanent irrigation system to be installed by the developer prior to occupancy.

Maintenance by a homeowners’ association may be required by the planning commission on a case-by-case basis.

9. Waterways. Waterways, if preserved onsite, adjacent, or nearby shall be incorporated into the overall design of the development and count towards open space percentage requirements.

10. Street Connectivity. All new developments within single- family zones shall adhere to the following street connectivity standards:
a. New streets shall connect to adjacent developments where streets exist, as practicable;

b. Cul-de-sacs and dead-end roads shall be prohibited; and c. New developments with entry and exit gates shall be prohibited.

F. Special streetscape. It is the intent of this section to create streetscape standards for landscape, building, and parking setbacks that help to identify the function of streets and to improve the scenic quality of the community. Table 17.36.020 -3 sets forth the minimum setbacks based on street classification in the general plan circulation plan. These setbacks shall be required of all new developments that contain or abut any one of the street classifications listed in the t able. Setbacks shall be measured from the face of the ultimate curb location.

f. Protect areas with significant native vegetation and habitat value. g. Protect natural areas for ecologic, educational, and other scientific study purposes.

2. Hillside Residential (HR) development standards. All development within the Hillside Residential zone shall comply with the development standards of the Very Low (VL) Residential Zone. See Table 17.36.010-1A (Development Standards For Residential Zones) for standards.

3. Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) Zone development standards. All development within the Flood Control/Utility Corridor Zone shall comply with the following criteria:
a. Flood Control development standards:
i. Natural features such as trees, groves, and substantial physical features are to be preserved, wherever feasible. Natural vegetation will be retained so as to anchor soil in place and prevent erosion and sedimentation.
ii. When removal of vegetation is necessary and grading is to be undertaken, it shall be done in a manner, which will minimize soil erosion. Seeding and mulching or other stabilization measures are to be used to protect the disturbed land following construction.
iii. No topsoil may be removed from the site except for that area to be covered by improvements. The topsoil from such areas is to be, if practical, redistributed on the site to provide a suitable base for seeding and planting. iv. Any fill proposed to be deposited in the floodway must be protected against erosion by riprap, vegetation cover, or bulkheading. No fill may be permitted which, acting alone or in combination with existing or future uses, affects the capacity of the floodway or unduly increases flood heights.
v. Those criteria listed in section 17.36.050.C.3 related to structures shall be complied with.
vi. Any structures or land outside the Flood Control/Utility Corridor Zone which could be subject to flood inundation, as depicted on the Federal Insurance Flood Rate Maps or otherwise by the city engineer, shall comply with flood protection measures as outlined in title 19 of this Code.
vii. No structure shall become a debris-catching obstacle. b. Utility Corridor development standards:
i. Buildings shall not be designed nor used for human habitation unless expressly permitted by this chapter.
ii. All buildings shall be designed for compatibility with surrounding development relative to materials, height, size, scale, and setbacks. iii. Any development shall include provisions for landscaping, wind or water erosion control, and screening, if necessary.

D. Additional improvements. The planning director may, through the development review process, require additional improvements to a development in any one of the Open Space Zones, if it is needed for the protection of the public health, safety, or general welfare.

E. Height limit. The maximum building height within the Open Space Zone shall be the same maximum building height of the adjoining parcels. Where the Open Space Zone adjoins more than one zone, the

maximum building height for the Open Space Zone shall be consistent with the lowest height limit of the adjoining zones. (Code 1980, § 17.36.050; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

Chapter 17.38 OVERLAY ZONES AND OTHER SPECIAL PLANNING AREAS

17.38.010 Senior Housing Overlay Zone.

A. Purpose. The Senior Housing Overlay Zone is intended to facilitate the construction of affordable rental housing units that will serve the current and long-term city need for affordable senior citizen- oriented dwelling units while maintaining a high degree of quality in project design and construction.

The zone is further intended, by offering various development incentives, to make the development of senior citizen-oriented affordable units attractive to potential developers while at the same time providing assurances to the city that units developed by use of the incentives offered as part of the Overlay Zone remain available and affordable to the target group intended—senior citizens of low and moderate incomes.

B. Applicability. The Senior Housing Overlay Zone may be applied in combination with residential zones. A Senior Housing Overlay Zone shall be indicated on the zoning map by the reference letters “SH” after the reference letter(s) identifying the base zone.

C. Target population. The primary resident population group that is intended to be served by the units constructed through use of incentives offered as part of the Senior Housing Overlay Zone are senior citizens who meet the following criteria:

1. For tenants, residents, or occupants who are married to each other, either spouse shall be 55 years of age or older.

2. For individuals who are not married, each individual shall be 55 years of age or older.

D. Income restriction. In addition to the age restrictions set forth in subsection C.1 and 2 of this section, any individual or married couple who wish to occupy or reside in the project shall have and maintain an annual income from all sources equal to or less than 80 percent of the median income for persons or families within the County of San Bernardino as currently defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

E. Qualifications. The Senior Housing Overlay Zone requires the presence of certain conditions before it can be applied for or attached to a specific parcel of land. In order to adequately and satisfactorily serve the target population that this zone has been created to serve, any proposed project site must demonstrate the following conditions and features:

1. Appropriate base zone.

2. Land uses in the immediate and surrounding area, current and projected, must be compatible with the living environment required by senior citizens and must be free of health, safety, or noise problems (e.g., area generally quiet).

3. Area infrastructure must be in place or constructed as part of the project and capable of serving the proposed project including:
a. Streets;
b. Sidewalks; and

c. Traffic/pedestrian signals.

4. Proposed site topography must be fairly level and easily traversed by persons of limited mobility.

5. Proposed site must demonstrate proximity to commercial establishments, service providers, and other amenities including:
a. Food shopping;
b. Drugstores;
c. Banks;
d. Medical and dental facilities;
e. Public transit (main or frequently served routes); and f. Open space/recreational facilities.

F. Development incentives. In order to reduce development costs associated with the construction of housing oriented toward senior citizens of low and moderate income, the city is prepared to offer a developer some or all of the following incentives, depending upon the quality, size, nature, and scope of the project proposed.

1. Reduction in required on-site parking. The city will grant a reduction in required on-site parking down to a minimum ratio of 0.7 non-covered parking spaces per unit.

2. Dwelling unit density bonus . In order to maximize net yield per acre, the city will consider increasing the allowable project density by either granting a 25 percent density bonus to the project site’s existing density category (per Government Code § 65915), or by granting a request for a change in density range (per the city’s general plan), or both depending on the quality, size, nature, and scope of the project.

3. Fee waivers/reductions . Projects submitted under the Senior Housing Overlay Zone may receive, depending upon their size, nature, and scope, a reduction or waiver of some or all city- imposed development submittal and processing fees. Such reductions of waivers may affect the following fee schedules:
a. Development review;
b. Park fees;
c. School fees (when applicable); and
d. Other fees (where applicable).

4. Fee reductions or waivers are subject to negotiation between the city and the project developer and will be granted based upon that amount of reduction or waiver necessary to place per unit monthly rental costs in the range affordable to the target population.

G. City/developer agreement. Development incentives granted by the city to a developer using the Senior Housing Overlay Zone are predicated upon the long-term availability and affordability of the units for the target population previously defined. In order to ensure that the units remain available and affordable to this group, the developer will be required to enter into a development agreement with the city per Government Code §§ 65864 through 65869.5.

H. Administrative guidelines. The city shall establish a process and such administrative guidelines as it shall deem necessary in order to implement the provisions of the Senior Housing Overlay Zone. (Code 1980, § 17.38.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012).

17.38.020 Equestrian Overlay Zone.

A. Purpose. The general purpose of the Equestrian Overlay Zone is to designate an area of the city to keep equine, bovine, and cleft -hoofed animals. In addition, the following outlines more specific purposes and intents of this zone:

1. This designation is intended to protect the ability to maintain such animals.

2. This zone is intended to promote a “rural/farm” character in an urban setting.

3. This zone recognizes and encourages the educational values derived from raising and maintaining such animals.

4. This zone recognizes the recreational value derived from raising and maintaining such animals.

B. Zone boundaries. The boundaries for the Equestrian Overlay Zone are Banyan Street from the west city boundary to Milliken Avenue, south to CA 210 to Interstate 15 to the east, and along the entire northern boundary of the sphere of influence.

C. Trails. All new developments within this zone shall be required to provide trails (community or local) in accordance with the adopted trails map of the general plan. These trails shall be provided in order to develop or connect discontinuous trails for needed access to recreational amenities such as the National Forest, equestrian facilities, regional parks and trails, and community and local trails. All trails shall be developed in accordance with the city-adopted trails implementation plan. In addition, development of any trails shall include provisions for continuous maintenance. (Code 1980, § 17.38.020; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.38.030 Hillside Overlay Zone.

A. Purpose. The purpose of the Hillside Overlay Zone is to identify the geographical area of the city that is subject to the city’s special hillside development standards.

B. Applicability. The Hillside Overlay Zone is generally located north of Hillside Avenue, with variations, extending into the city’s sphere of influence as well as along with the area around Red Hill and Beryl Hill as depicted on the zoning map. Additionally, the Hillside Overlay Zone applies to other areas of the city indicated on the zoning map by the reference letter “H” after the reference letter(s) identifying the base zone.

C. Development standards. Properties designated Hillside Overlay Zone shall comply with the city’s hillside development regulations outlined in chapter 17.52 (Hillside Development). (Code 1980, § 17.38.030; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.38.050 Agriculture Overlay.

A. Purpose. The Agricultural Overlay is intended to guide development within the overlays by providing standards that apply to proposed development in addition to the standards and regulations of the primary land use zoning district, where important community, site, environmental, safety, compatibility, or design issues require particular attention in project planning.

B. Applicability. Only those properties which have historically housed agricultural production associated with the agricultural heritage of the City may be eligible for the Agricultural Overlay. Any proposal for new agricultural uses proposed on property which had not previously been utilized for agricultural purposes shall be reviewed pursuant to Development Code Section 17.32.030 (Agricultural uses permitted or permitted with a minor use permit).

C. Allowed land uses. Any land use normally allowed in the primary land use zoning district may be allowed within the overlay, subject to additional requirements of the overlay. In addition, the following land uses may be permitted within the Agricultural Overlay:

1. Farms for orchards, trees, field crops, truck gardening, flowering gardening, and other similar enterprises carried on in the general field of agriculture.

2. Farm stands, agricultural product processing and educational experiences (i.e. cooking classes).

3. Tasting rooms and wineries.

4. Single dwellings only for the use of an owner or manager of land within the parcel(s) subject to the Overlay, or a person employed on the land but not exceeding three dwelling units for each parcel of not less than ten acres.

D. Permit requirements, and public hearing and public notice required. An application for an Agricultural Overlay shall be filed with the planning department in a manner prescribed by the Planning Director with the required fee as established by City Council resolution. Approval of the Agricultural Overlay shall be the responsibility of the City Council, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission and the process for review shall be the same as a zoning map amendment pursuant to Development Code Section 17.22.040. Public hearings and public notice shall be required in accordance with Development Code Section 17.14.050.

E. Development standards. Operations with the Agricultural Overlay shall not be injurious to the health, safety, or welfare of the public and surrounding neighborhood because of the noise, odor, dust, smoke, vibration, danger to life and property, or other similar causes. The Agricultural Overlay shall be applied where it will serve to protect and enhance an area where surrounding uses may include sensitive receptors, such as residential neighborhood or lower intensity commercial or non-residential uses. In order to ensure compatible uses and minimal impact to surrounding neighborhoods, the following standards shall be enforced:

1. Parking: A sufficient number of parking spaces shall be provided to accommodate onsite parking and minimize the need for off-site parking.

2. Noise: When adjacent to a residential land use, school, church or similar type of use, the noise generating activity does not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday, and provided noise levels created do not exceed the noise standards of 65 dBA when measured at the adjacent property line.

3. Odor: Sources of odorous emissions, particular matter, and air containment standards shall comply with the rules and regulations of the air pollution control district and the State Health and Safety Code.

4. Dust: Dust mitigation, as it may negatively impact surrounding land uses, shall be managed to the extent feasible. All parking areas shall be layered with dust -mitigating materials such as decomposed granite or gravel. All other unimproved areas not utilized for landscaping, recreational, parking, hardscape surfaces, buildings and agricultural purposes shall be improved with dust-mitigating ground cover, including but not limited to decomposed granite, gravel or similar material with the intent of meeting air quality best management practices.

5. Pesticides: The application of pesticides shall be conducted consistent with all common best management practices and legal requirements pursuant to local, state and federal law. Aerial application and any application method which results in pesticide drift of pesticides shall be restricted.

6. Standards for Farm Stands:
a. Size: The floor are of the structure, portion of any structure and/or any outdoor display area shall be limited to a total of 500 square feet. b. Use: Retail sales of agricultural product produced onsite. c. Location and Setbacks: The driveway and access shall conform with current City standards for construction and site distance, except that material for the driveway and parking areas related to such structures may be comprised of decomposed granite or gravel. Farm stands shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from all property lines.

F. Transfer of Development Rights: Upon approval of an Agricultural Overlay, subject property owners are eligible to participate in the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program, which is designed to help regulate and preserve legacy agricultural uses by incentivizing property owners within the Agricultural Overlay to sever the development rights and transfer them to potential builders on other property within the City.

G. Williamson Act: Property owners of parcels larger than 10 acres may qualify to apply for a Williamson Act contract for the purposes of the preservation of agricultural lands in exchange for a reduction in property tax assessments pursuant to state law.

17.38.060 The Resort.

A. Table 17.38.060-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Placetype) provides the permit requirements for land uses by Placetype.

Land use classifications/categories and descriptions are per the City’s Development Code unless otherwise defined in this section.

B. Uses not specifically listed. Uses not specifically listed as permitted or conditionally permitted, but deemed by the Planning Director to be similar to a listed permitted or conditionally permitted use, may be allowed subject to a use determination made by the Planning Director.

C. Shopkeeper and live/work units
In order to encourage businesses that create new jobs while ensuring compatibility with residential units, the following requirements have been established.

1. Shopkeeper units. Shopkeeper units are units that include both residential (R-2 occupancy) and non-residential (B-occupancy) mixed occupancy types as defined by the California Building Code. Shopkeeper allows individual occupancy of the non-residential space with separate entries from residence.

ARTICLE V. SPECIFIC USE REQUIREMENTS

Chapter 17.86 ADULT BUSINESS USES

17.86.010 Purpose and intent.

It is the intent of these regulations to prevent problems of blight and deterioration which can be brought about by the concentration of adult entertainment businesses in close proximity to each other or proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools for minors, public parks, and residential zones. The city council finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of adult entertainment businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area and an increase in crime and can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is therefore the purpose of these regulations to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the concentration of adult establishments or their close proximity to incompatible uses while permitting the location of adult businesses in certain areas. (Code 1980, § 17.86.010; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.86.020 Development and operational standards.

Qualifying adult business uses as defined in Article IX, chapter 17.142 (Adult Business Definitions) shall comply with all of the following development, operational, and maintenance standards:

A. Areas for adult entertainment establishments. Adult entertainment establishments are permitted only in those areas of the city within industrial zones as specified in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone) and are not permitted west of Haven Avenue.

Establishments are further subject to the proximity requirements of this section. The development standards applicable to the establishment of an adult entertainment business shall be as set forth in this Development Code for a zone and use most comparable to the proposed adult entertainment business, as determined by the planning director.

B. Minimum proximity requirements. No adult entertainment establishment shall be established within specified distances of certain specified land uses as set forth below:

1. No such establishment shall be established within 1,500 feet of any other adult entertainment establishment.

2. No such establishment shall be established within 1,500 feet from any existing residential dwelling, residentially zoned property, church or similar place of worship, school or day care facility (public or private), park or playground, recreational facility, hospital, public buildings (e.g., city hall, county offices, courthouse, libraries, etc.), and the right-of-way on Haven Avenue, Milliken Avenue, 4th Street, Foothill Boulevard, and the I-15 freeway.

C. Measurement of distance between uses . The distance between any two adult entertainment establishments shall be measured in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures, from the closest exterior structural wall of each business. The distance between any adult entertainment establishment and any school, public park, or residential zone, etc., shall be measured in a straight line without regard to intervening structures, from the closest exterior structural wall of the adult entertainment business to the closest property line of the school, public park, or residential zone, etc.

D. Closed viewing areas. No adult use or adult entertainment business shall maintain closed areas, booths, cubicles, rooms, or other areas within its place of business that are used, designed, or furnished

for private sexual activity. No nudity or sexual activities by customers shall be allowed on the premises. All portions of the premises shall be available by access and visual inspection at all times by any city inspectors standing at the front door (not to include existing and approved restroom facilities). (Code 1980, § 17.86.020; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)

17.86.030 Permit requirements.

It shall be unlawful to establish or operate, or cause or permit to be operated, any adult entertainment establishment without first obtaining an adult entertainment zoning permit from the planning commission consistent with requirements of chapter 17.14 (General Application Processing Procedures) and chapter 17.20 (Planning Commission Decisions). (Code 1980, § 17.86.030; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012; Ord.

No. 860 § 4, 2013)

17.86.040 Violations and penalties.

A. Criminal violation. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership, or corporation to violate any provision or to fail to comply with any of the requirements of this section. Any person, firm, partnership, or corporation violating any provision of this section or failing to comply with any of its requirements shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000.00 or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each such person, firm, partnership, or corporation shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or any portion thereof during which violation of any of the provisions of this section is committed, continued, or permitted by such a person, firm, partnership, or corporation, and shall be deemed punishable therefore as provided in this section.

B. Civil remedies available. A violation of any of the provisions of this section shall constitute a nuisance and may be abated by the city through civil process by means of restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, or in any other manner provided by law for the abatement of such nuisance. (Code 1980, § 17.86.040; Ord. No. 855, § 4, 2012)
