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

A.

Business Park (BP). The business park (BP) district provides for a wide range of nonresidential uses, generally encompassing light industrial, retail, office, and other commercial uses. Retail uses may comprise as much as one hundred (100) percent of the site, and serve local and regional market areas. The business park district is intended to provide maximum flexibility to the City, landowners, and tenants in establishing and operating nonresidential uses. Development is expected to be predominated by buildings of one or two stories, but may attain any height, provided that requirements for parking and landscaping are met. In some cases, retail uses will be on the ground floor, with offices above.

B.

Light Industrial (LI). The light industrial (LI) 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. Adult businesses, as defined in Chapter 16.46 of this Code, may be located only in the LI district.

(Ord. 68 § 9.30.010, 1995)

A.

Appendix A: Regulation of Uses by Zone District of this Development Code at the end of Title 16 indicates the uses permitted in the business park and light industrial districts.

B.

Uses listed as conditionally permitted uses are subject to the review requirements and conditions contained in Chapter 16.68 of this Development Code. Temporary uses and conditions are subject to the review requirements and conditions contained in Chapter 16.80. Also, certain uses may be subject to special use standards outlined in Chapter 16.42.

(Ord. No. 262, § 3(f), 4-23-2013)

Parking standards for uses in the BP and LI districts are shown in Chapter 16.34 of this Code. Where a mix of use types is proposed in the BP district (e.g., retail, office, and manufacturing), an alternative parking standard may be approved by the Director of Community Development. Changes in parking standards must be accompanied by a parking analysis, which will be reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer.

(Ord. 68 § 9.30.050, 1995)

Accessory buildings and structures are subject to the same height and setback requirements described for primary buildings and structures in Table 30-1, except as modified by Section 16.06.060, Maximum projections into yards.
