The Business and Manufacturing districts are established to facilitate the development of larger-scale businesses involved in manufacturing, distribution, or services, as well as office and retail uses in some areas. Toward this end, the following districts are established:

   (a)   Airport Development District (ADD)

      The Airport Development District (ADD) provides for a wide range of nonresidential uses, generally encompassing light and heavy industrial, retail, office, and other commercial uses that are oriented around airport operation, services, industries and businesses. The Airport Development District is intended to provide maximum flexibility to the City, landowners, and tenants in establishing and operating non-residential uses. Development is expected to be predominated by buildings of one (1) or two (2) stories, but may attain any heights up to fifty-five (55) feet . In some cases, retail uses will be on the ground floor, with offices above. All uses in this district will be required to execute aviation easements.

   (b)   Light Manufacturing (LM)

      The Light Manufacturing (LM) district provides for a more limited range of uses, including only light industrial and manufacturing uses which benefit from separation from residential, office, and retail districts.

   (c)   Manufacturing/Industrial (MI)

      The Manufacturing/Industrial (MI) district provides for a wide range of industrial uses, including light and heavy industrial and manufacturing uses. Adult businesses, as defined in Chapter 17.85 of this Code, may be located only in the MI district.

   (d)   Business Park (BP)

      The Business Park land use designation allows for employment uses that may be related and supportive of SCLA along with synergistic uses like research and design, medical and professional offices, schools/studios for professional and business advancement, and health and fitness facilities to attract employment activity from beyond the City’s boundary.

      The Light Manufacturing Cannabis Only (LMCO) district provides a cannabis only use that will include cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, distribution/transportation, testing, nursery, and other related cannabis uses or process as may be defined by the City and State of California.
