CHAPTER 17

22 COMMERCIAL LAND USE ZONES

[1]
Editor’s Note—Chapter 17.22 adopted in prior code § 3110, as amended, was repealed in its entirety and reenacted by Ord. 537.
Prior ordinance history—Ords. 537 and 733.

§ 17.22.010 Purpose.

The commercial land use zones established in this chapter are designed to promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. The city council in establishing these zones finds that these zones with the uses and regulations provided in this chapter are consistent and compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the city general plan; and are adopted for the following purposes:
A. 
To create an environment in which the success of commercial development is enhanced through appropriate location, design, and operation, taking into consideration surrounding uses and the community as a whole.
B. 
To provide space appropriate to satisfy the needs of modern local retail development and the city’s expected future economy.
C. 
To accommodate a variety of transportation modes which may access the commercial sites in a manner to achieve business and community goals, including congestion management and parking.
D. 
To provide standards which uphold community design objectives and project commercial, industrial and residential development from incompatible and hazardous adjacent elements.
E. 
To acknowledge the differences in needs and impacts of varying kinds of businesses by use of standards which vary according to zone.
(Ord. 887 § 2 Exh. A (part), 1998)

§ 17.22.020 Prohibition.

No building, structure, vehicle, sign, or area in any commercial land use zone shall be used, nor shall any building, structure, sign, or vehicle be erected, altered, moved, enlarged, or stored in any commercial land use zone except as hereinafter specifically provided in this chapter or elsewhere in this code; nor shall any area, building, structure, vehicle, or sign be used in any manner so as to create problems inimical to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or so as to constitute a public nuisance. Any building, structure, vehicle, sign, or lot, or the use of any building, structure, vehicle, or lot in any commercial land use zone shall be regulated and governed by the provisions of this chapter and Title 17.
(Ord. 887 § 2 Exh. A (part), 1998)

§ 17.22.030 Commercial zones.

A. 
Commercial Use Table. The purpose of the commercial use table is to designate the uses permitted within the buildable area and within the yard areas in each of the following zones.
1. 
C-1, neighborhood business zone as further regulated in Section 17.22.050 of this chapter. The purpose of the C-1 zone is to designate areas suitable for low-intensity retail commercial activities oriented to serving nearby residential areas. Uses typically will be small retail services oriented activities including small shopping centers. The C-1 zone should be located on major arterials or secondary streets.
2. 
C-2, central business zone as further regulated in Section 17.22.050 of this chapter. The purpose of the C-2 zone is to designate areas appropriate for a wide range of commercial activities serving the entire community. The C-2 zone will include all sizes of shopping centers. Only manufacturing, warehousing, and the heaviest commercial uses are excluded. The C-2 zone should be located on major arterials and thoroughfares.
3. 
C-3, general commercial zone as further regulated in Section 17.22.050 of this chapter. The purpose of the C-3 zone is to designate areas appropriate for heavy commercial activities. While all types of commercial activities are permitted, the C-3 zone is intended for the highest-intensity commercial activities, which include heavy auto and truck traffic. The C-3 zone should be located on major arteries and thoroughfares.
4. 
BP, business professional zone as further regulated in Section 17.22.050 of this chapter. The intent of the BP zone is to designate areas suitable for business and professional offices. Uses in the BP zone are intended to be low-intensity commercial uses and compatible with higher-intensity residential uses. Retail commercial activities are discouraged. The BP zone may serve as a buffer between retail commercial and residential areas. The BP zone should be located along major arterials or have direct access to one via a collector street.
B. 
Permitted Uses Within the Buildable Area of Commercial Lots. A “ ✓ ” indicates that the described use is permitted in the zone represented by the described symbol appearing at the top of the column. An “N” indicates that the described use is not permitted in the zone represented by the symbol appearing at the top of the column. A number indicates that the described use is permitted in that zone upon continuing compliance of the special condition referenced by the corresponding number in Section 17.22.040 of this chapter. The special condition requirements govern the described use.
C. 
Similar and Like Uses. If a proposed use is not listed in the commercial use table, the planning, inspections, and permitting director may determine whether the characteristics of the proposed use are sufficiently similar to a listed use to justify a finding that the proposed use should be allowed either principally or conditionally within any of the respective zones. If a finding of similarity is made, then the proposed use is to be allowed as a similar use listed in the commercial use table.
The planning, inspections and permitting director may determine that any proposed use should be reviewed by the planning commission for a finding of similarity with other uses.
Any determination that a proposed use is sufficiently similar to a listed use, whether made by the planning commission or the planning, inspections and permitting director, shall be in writing and shall contain the facts which support the determination. All such determinations shall be kept in a binder available to the general public at the planning, inspections and permitting counter, and one copy shall be provided to the offices of the city attorney and city clerk.
D. 
Requirement for Planned Development Permit Review. Although a use may be permitted outright within a particular commercial zone, (and not require a conditional use permit issued by the planning commission) the land upon which a prospective use may be located, may have a planned development (PD) overlay zoning designation. This designation requires a review by the planning commission for design review purposes. In cases where a property has a use requiring a conditional use permit and design review, both entitlements will be processed concurrently at the planning commission where possible.

§ 17.22.040 Special condition requirements for commercial zones.

The following special condition requirements apply to the uses indicated by the corresponding numbers on the commercial use table described in Section 17.22.030.
1. 
Permitted only upon the issuance of a minor conditional use permit by the planning commission or the historic district commission.
2. 
Permitted as an incidental service function intended to satisfy the normal operating needs of a permitted retail use on the property. An independent servicing facility oriented toward generating its trade from the general public is not permitted in this zone.
3. 
(Reserved)
4. 
Permitted use only if the entire operation, including parking and storage of vehicles used in connection with the operation, is conducted within a completely enclosed building or behind a solid six-foot fence on the buildable area of the lot. Fence is to be approved by the community development department before commencement of proposed use.
5. 
Permitted use within the zone, but must not have a drive-up or remote tellers.

Permitted use within the zone when the commercial structure is located five hundred feet or more from a residential use and one thousand feet from the property line of any public or private school (kindergarten to twelfth grade), and as long as the operating hours are between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. If not within the prescribed conditions as described above, the use is subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
7. 
Permitted use within the zone when located as one tenant in a building and not occupying more than fifteen percent of the total floor area of the building. If the use occupies more than fifteen percent of the total floor area of the building or is a freestanding use, a conditional use permit is required.
8. 
Permitted use in the zone only when there is no outdoor storage and the gross area of the use does not exceed two thousand five hundred square feet. If the gross area of the use is larger than two thousand five hundred square feet, the use is subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
9. 
Permitted use if the entire operation is conducted within a completely enclosed building.
10. 
A temporary use permit is required in this zone issued by the community development department.
11. 
All proposed service stations within the C-3 zone require the issuance of a conditional use permit with the exception of proposed service stations on property contiguous to Highway 50 and that are within one thousand five hundred feet of an existing interchange/overcrossing as determined and measured by the community development department.
12. 
Proposed use is permitted on property contiguous to Highway 50 and within one thousand five hundred feet of an existing interchange/overcrossing as determined and measured by the community development department. If not within the prescribed area stated above, the use is allowed subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
