Allowable use. The land use shall be identified by section 5 (Residential Zoning Districts), section 6 (Commercial Zoning Districts), section 7 (Industrial Zoning Districts), section 8 (Special Purpose Zoning Districts), or section 9 (Overlay Zoning Districts) as being allowable in the zoning district applied to the site.
B.
Permit requirements. Land use permits required by this zoning ordinance shall be obtained before the proposed use is constructed, otherwise established, or put into operation, unless the proposed use is listed in subsection 2.04.040 (Exemptions from land use permit requirements), below.
C.
Development standards. Uses and/or structures shall comply with the applicable development standards of this article, and the provisions of article 3 (Site Planning and General Development Standards), and other city standards and policies related to the use and development of land.
D.
Conditions of approval. Uses and/or structures shall comply with all conditions imposed by a previously granted land use permit. Failure to comply with imposed conditions shall be grounds for revocation of the subject permit in compliance with section 29 (Revocations and Modifications).

Minimize traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of utilities;
D.
Minimize excessive illumination, noise, odor, smoke, unsightliness, and other objectionable influences; and
E.
Promote high standards of site planning, architectural and landscape design for commercial developments within the city.
2.06.020 Purposes of the commercial zoning districts.
The purposes of the individual residential zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:
A.
OP (Office Professional) zoning district. The OP zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for integrated, professional office uses including administrative, corporate, financial, government, institutional, legal, and medical. The OP zoning district is consistent with the general and neighborhood commercial land use designation of the general plan;
B.
CN (Commercial Neighborhood) zoning district. The CN zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for providing convenience services, compatible with adjacent neighborhood areas. The CN zoning district is consistent with the general and neighborhood commercial land use designation of the general plan;

2.07.010 Purpose of section.
Two industrial zoning districts are established to create and preserve suitable areas for the assembly, manufacture, processing, storage, and shipment of finished products and raw materials. These activities serve the community by providing employment, contributing to the tax base, and creating products used and needed by consumers. The intent of these two zoning districts is to:
A.
Provide for the development of nonpolluting, clean industrial uses to broaden the economic/employment base of the city, while ensuring compatible integration with nonindustrial uses, in a manner consistent with the general plan;
B.
Upgrade the existing function and appearance of the city's industrial areas by encouraging high quality development;
C.
Provide adequate space to meet the needs of industrial development, including appropriate off-street parking and loading facilities;
D.
Minimize traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of utilities;
E.
Minimize excessive illumination, noise, odor, smoke, unsightliness, and other objectionable influences; and
F.
Promote high standards of site planning and landscape design for the industrial developments within the city.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2(Exh. A), 11-25-04)
2.07.020 Purposes of the industrial zoning districts.
The purposes of the individual industrial zoning districts are as follows:
A.
BP (Business Park) zoning district. The BP zoning district is intended to provide a stable environment conducive to the development and protection of specialized manufacturing, packaging, printing, publishing, testing, and research and development with associated administrative office facilities often providing a campus-like environment as a corporate headquarters. These facilities are operated and maintained in a clean and quiet manner and continually meet the standards identified in this chapter and in this zoning ordinance. The BP zoning district is consistent with the business park and light industrial land use designations of the general plan; and
B.
ML (Industrial Light) zoning district. The ML zoning district is designed to encourage sound industrial development (e.g., light manufacturing, industrial processing, storage and distribution, warehousing), in addition to service commercial uses (e.g., motor vehicle repair facilities) in the city by providing and protecting an environment exclusively for this type of development, subject to regulations identified in this zoning ordinance which are necessary to ensure the protection of nearby residential uses from hazards, noises, or other related disturbances. Industries producing substantial amounts of hazardous waste, odor, or other pollutants would be prohibited. Businesses serving commercial uses (e.g., food service or office supply) would generally be allowed as ancillary uses, subject to appropriate development standards. The ML zoning district is consistent with the Light Industrial land use designation of the general plan.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2(Exh. A), 11-25-04)
2.07.030 Industrial zoning district land uses and permit requirements.
A.
Allowed land uses. Table 2-11 indicates the uses allowed within the BP and ML zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with article 4 (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures).
B.
Prohibited land uses. Any table cell with a "—" means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zoning district.
C.
Land uses not listed. For land uses not listed in table 2-11, the provisions of subsection 4.19.030 (Director's review) shall apply.
D.
Design review required. All construction activities (e.g., additions, alterations, construction, reconstruction, or remodeling) shall require design review approval in compliance with subsection 4.19.060 (Design review).
E.
Applicable subsections. Where the last column in the tables ("See Section") includes a subsection number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other Sections of this zoning ordinance may also apply.

2.08.010 Purpose of section.
This section provides regulations applicable to development and new land uses in the special purpose zoning districts established by section 2.03.020 (Zoning Districts Established). The purposes of the individual special purpose zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are identified in section 2.08.020, below.
2.08.020 Purposes of the special purpose zoning districts.
A.
PS-1A (public and semi-public) zoning district. The PS-1A zoning district is established to set aside properties to be developed with public uses, other than street rights-of-way. This zoning district is also in-tended to identify and preserve areas of historic and community significance for the enjoyment of future generations. The PS-1A zoning district is consistent with the specific plan land use designation of the general plan.
Land uses allowed in the PS-1A zoning district shall only be those land uses allowed at the enactment of Ordinance No. 790 on July 31, 1987, (referred to as Measure D). Amendments to the allowed land uses shall be approved by a majority of those voters of the city voting at any regular or special municipal election.
B.
PRD-2A (Planned Residential Development) zoning district. The PRD-2A zoning district is established to provide flexibility in the design of residential development projects on properties designated for residential use by the general plan. This flexibility allows for more creative and innovative residential subdivision and unit design than is generally possible under conventional zoning and subdivision regulations.
These regulations are further established to promote more economical and efficient use of the land while providing for a harmonious variety of housing choices, a higher level of urban amenities, and preservation of the natural and scenic qualities associated with open spaces.
The PRD-2A zoning district is consistent with all residential land use designations of the general plan.
C.
PC (Planned Community) zoning district. The PC zoning district is established to provide opportunity for the design and development of integrated, master-planned projects in areas of the city which may benefit from special design standards and land uses not otherwise possible under conventional zoning district regulations. The PC zoning district is intended to permit a compatible mix of land uses, planned commercial developments, and business parks, and a variety of housing styles and densities.
The PC zoning district is consistent with all residential and business park land use designations of the general plan.
Each PC zoning district established shall be indicated by a unique zoning district designation.
D.
PC-25A (Planned Community) zoning district. The PC-25A zoning district is established to achieve the following purposes:
1.
To provide for the classification and development of parcels of land as coordinated, comprehensive projects in order to take advantage of the superior environment which can result from large-scale community planning.
2.
To allow diversification of land uses as they relate to each other in a physical and environmental arrangement, while ensuring substantial compliance with the provisions of this zoning ordinance.
3.
To provide for a zoning district encompassing various types of land uses (e.g., single-family residential developments, multi-family housing developments, professional and administrative office areas, commercial centers, industrial parks, or any public or semi-public uses), or combination of uses through the adoption of a development plan and text materials that identify appropriate land use relationships and development standards.
The PC-25A zoning district is consistent with all land use designations of the general plan, except for the mobile home park designation.
E.
PCM (Planned Commercial/Light Industrial) zoning district. The PCM zoning district is established to facilitate the innovative design of mixed-use commercial and light industrial developments on properties designated for these uses in the general plan, and to streamline development review of projects proposed within an approved PCM zoning district. The PCM zoning district is consistent with the general and neighborhood commercial and light industrial land use designations of the general plan.
F.
PBP-25A (Planned Business Park) zoning district. The PBP-25A zoning district is established to allow for the comprehensive, integrated development of compatible and complementary administrative, educational, and professional office, commercial centers, industrial park, open space, or any public or semi-public uses or combination of uses in a campus-like business park setting. The PBP-25A zoning district is consistent with the business park land use designation of the general plan.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2(Exh. A), 11-25-04)
2.08.030 Special purpose district land uses and permit requirements.
A.
Allowed land uses. Table 2-15 indicates the uses allowed within the PS-1A, PRD-2A, PC, PC-25A, PCM, and PBP-25A zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with article 4 (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures).
B.
Prohibited land uses. Any table cell with a "—" means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zoning district.
C.
Land uses not listed. For land uses not listed in table 2-15, the provisions of subsection 4.19.030 (Director's review) shall apply.
D.
Design review required. All construction activities (e.g., additions, alterations, construction, reconstruction, or remodeling) shall require design review approval in compliance with subsection 4.19.060 (Design review).
E.
Applicable subsections. Where the last column in the tables ("See Section") includes a subsection number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other sections of this zoning ordinance may also apply.

C.
Additional development standards for PRD-2A zoning district. The following additional development requirements shall apply to all planned residential developments in the PRD-2A zoning district:
1.
The planned residential development shall be designed and developed in a manner compatible with and complementary to existing and potential residential development in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Site planning on the perimeter shall provide for the protection of the property from adverse surrounding conditions, as well as protection of the surrounding areas from potentially adverse conditions within the development.
2.
There shall be no minimum area requirements for individual parcels or individual dwelling sites in a planned residential development.
3.
The maximum number of dwelling units allowed in a planned residential development shall be determined by dividing the total land area within the boundaries of the proposed development by the density restrictions designated in the general plan.
4.
Required open space shall comprise at least 40% of the total area of the planned development. Land occupied by driveways, parking spaces, streets, or structures may not be used to satisfy this open space requirement, except land occupied by recreational structures.
5.
At least one-half of the required open space may also be improved, or may be left in its natural state, particularly if natural features worthy of preservation exist on the site. Open space left in its natural state shall be kept free of litter and shall at no time constitute a fire, flood, health, or safety hazard. Areas devoted to natural or improved flood control channels and those areas encumbered by drainage, flowage, or floodway easements may be applied toward satisfying this portion of the total open space requirement.
6.
If development is to be accomplished in stages, the development plan shall coordinate improvement of the open space, the construction of structures and improvements in the open space, and the construction of dwelling units in order that each development stage achieves a proportionate share of the total open space and environmental quality of the total planned development.
7.
All or any part of the required open space may be reserved for use in common by the residents of the planned development. Areas permanently reserved for common open space shall be reserved for the use and enjoyment of the residents in a manner which makes the city, a public district, or a public agency a party to and entitled to enforce the reservation. The Department may require that open space easements be conveyed to the city in addition to the dedication of the open space.
8.
No structure, except as hereafter provided, shall be located closer than five feet from any interior court, open parking lot, plaza, pedestrian or vehicular way, or any other surfaced area reserved for public use or for use in common by residents of the planned development. This setback shall generally be measured from the nearest edge of a surfaced area. Where no sidewalk exists in conjunction with a public or private street, this setback shall be measured from the nearest edge of the street right-of-way or private road easement.
9.
No garage or carport having direct access from a public or private street shall be located closer than 25 feet from the nearest edge of the sidewalk of that street. Where no sidewalk exists, this setback shall be measured from the nearest edge of the street right-of-way or road easement, unless automatic garage door openers are to be provided. In no case shall a garage or carport be located closer than five feet from the nearest edge of a street right-of-way or road easement.
10.
Each structure shall be surrounded on all sides by relatively level open space having a slope no greater than 10% and extending a minimum distance of 10 feet in all directions, measured from the furthest projection of the external walls of the structure.
11.
All public streets within or abutting the proposed planned development shall be dedicated and improved to city specifications for the particular classification of street. If the developer desires to retain any streets within the development as private streets, the streets shall be permanently reserved and maintained for their intended purpose by means acceptable to the department and the city attorney.
Other forms of access (e.g., courts, driveways, open parking lots, pedestrian ways, or plazas) shall not be offered for dedication.
12.
Planned residential developments shall relate harmoniously to the topography of the site, shall make suitable provisions for the preservation of drainage areas, rough terrain, water courses, wooded areas, and similar natural features and areas, and shall be otherwise so designed as to use and retain the natural features and amenities to the best advantage.
13.
All utilities within a planned development shall be placed underground. A common central television antenna shall be provided with underground cable service to all dwelling units; all other external television or radio antennas shall not be allowed. For the purposes of this section, appurtenances and associated equipment (e.g., concealed ducts, meter cabinets, pedestal-mounted terminal boxes, and surface-mounted transformers) may be placed above ground.
14.
The location, number, and type of fire hydrants and other fire protective devices shall be subject to the specifications of the fire chief.
D.
Additional development standards for the PCM zoning district.
1.
The planned commercial/light industrial development shall be designed and developed in a manner compatible with and complimentary to existing and potential development in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Site planning on the perimeter shall provide for the protection of property from adverse surrounding conditions, as well as protection of the surrounding areas from potentially adverse conditions within the development.
2.
No structure, except as hereafter provided for, shall be located closer than five feet to any interior court, open parking lot, plaza, pedestrian or vehicular way, or any other surfaced area reserved for public use or for use in common by tenants of the planned development.
3.
All public streets within or abutting the proposed development shall be improved to city specifications for the particular classification of street. If the developer desires to retain any streets within the development as private streets, the streets shall be permanently reserved and maintained for their intended purpose by means acceptable to the department and city attorney.
4.
All utilities within a planned development shall be placed underground. For the purposes of this section, appurtenances and associated equipment (e.g., concealed ducts, meter cabinets, pedestalmounted terminal boxes, and surface-mounted transformers) may be placed above ground.
