§ 17.204.050 Pre-Zoning.

Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide local implementation of the authority granted cities by Government Code § 65859, relating to pre-zoning of property prior to annexation by the City.

Pre-Zoning Required. Before the annexation to the City of any property, the sponsor of any annexations shall file an application for pre-zoning of the subject property to be annexed and the City shall establish the zone(s) that will be in effect on the effective date of the annexation.

Same as Zoning Map Amendments. The process for pre-zoning property to be annexed to the City shall be the same as is specified in Chapter 17.604 (Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan Amendments).

Compliance with Plans. The Zoning shall be in compliance with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.

Pre-Zoning.

Any property lying outside of, but adjacent to the City limits and inside its sphere of influence, may be pre-zoned with a City zone classification in compliance with Government Code § 65859 and this Chapter.

If any property has been pre-zoned in this manner, the assigned zone classification shall become effective at the same time the annexation of the property becomes effective.

§ 17.208.035 Uses By Right.

Notwithstanding Section 17.208.030, and in accordance with Government Code Section 65583.2(c) and (h), as may be amended, a housing development project in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower-income households shall be a use by right on the following sites:

Rezone Sites. Any site that was rezoned in order to accommodate the City's share of the regional housing need for units affordable to lower-income households pursuant to the City's 2023-2031 Housing Element.

Nonvacant Sites. A nonvacant site that meets the following requirements:

The site is designated in the Sites Inventory of the 2023-2031 Housing Element as accommodating a portion of the regional housing need for lower-income households;

The site was included in the Sites Inventory in a Housing Element for a prior Housing Element planning period; and

The site was not approved to develop a portion of the City's housing need during the previous planning period when the site was in the Sites Inventory.

Vacant Sites. A vacant site that meets the following requirements:

The site is designated in the Sites Inventory of the 2023-2031 Housing Element as accommodating a portion of the regional housing need for lower-income households;

The site was included in the Sites Inventory in a Housing Element for two or more consecutive prior Housing Element planning periods; and

The site was not approved to develop a portion of the City's housing need during the previous planning periods when the site was in the Sites Inventory.

The projects described in Subsection (A) shall not be required to obtain any discretionary permit, and may directly submit an application for a building permit, which shall be reviewed ministerially. Building permit review will include a design review in which the reviewing authority will determine whether the proposed project complies with the City's objective design standards. The design review will be conducted by the Director of Community Development except that the Director may refer the design review to the Planning Commission, in which case the Planning Commission will consider the design review component of the building permit application at a noticed public hearing, but such review shall still be ministerial and shall not be subject to CEQA.

For purposes of this Section the following terms have the following meanings:

"Affordable to lower-income households"

means that:

The units shall only be rented or sold to lower-income households, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5;

Regardless of whether the applicant is seeking a density bonus, the applicant shall comply with the requirements in Government Code Section 65915(c)(1) for rental units and with the requirements in Government Code Section 65915(c)(2) for for-sale units.

"Housing development project"

shall have the meaning given in Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(2).

"Sites inventory"

means the inventory of sites in the City suitable for residential development that is included in the City's Housing Element, as further described in Government Code Section 65583.2. The Sites Inventory in the City's 2023-2031 Housing Element is in Table H-44 of the Housing Element.

"Use by right"

means that the project shall not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary review or approval that would constitute a "project" for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act. However, any subdivision of the site shall be subject to all laws, including, but not limited to, the Subdivision Map Act and Title 16 of this Code. Projects that are a use by right shall be subject to design review, but such design review shall not constitute a "project" for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.

(Ord. 1670(19) § 11)

§ 17.224.010 Purpose.

This Chapter sets forth additional standards for defined areas (i.e., overlay zones) that are applied in addition to standards provided in the base zones. These standards are intended to ensure that proposed uses and development are compatible with existing and future development on neighboring properties and produce an environment of desirable character consistent with the General Plan.

(Ord. 1670(19) § 11)

§ 17.224.020 Overlay Zones.

Airport Overlay Zone (AO). The Airport Overlay (AO) Zone applies to areas of the City in the vicinity of the Lompoc Airport. The AO Zone is established for the general purpose of protecting the public health, safety, and welfare by minimizing the hazards to landing and take-off of aircraft and to increase the safety for land uses in the vicinity of the airport. The limitations on development imposed by the AO Zone are based upon the classification of the runway to be affected and are derived from the Santa Barbara County Airport Land Use Plan. The planning boundaries as designated by the Airport Land Use Commission, constitute the Airport Safety Zone, as designated by the Airport Land Use Commission.

Cultural Resources Overlay Zone (CRO). The Cultural Resources Overlay (CRO) Zone applies to areas of the City where the protection of cultural resources is critical. The CRO Zone streamlines the process of development review within the archaeological high sensitivity zone on the City's south side and directs procedures that apply in cases where development requiring any ground disturbance is proposed.

Southside Overlay Zone (SO). Special circumstances apply to those properties identified in Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 1566(13) (the "Southside Residential Properties") located in the Southside Overlay (SO) Zone. Those circumstances were discussed in staff reports and at public hearings at which the Council considered the SO Zone. Based on these discussions and considerations, the properties in the SO Zone shall be deemed legal conforming, regardless of underlying density requirements of the base zone in which the SO Zone properties are located as of the effective date of Ordinance No. 1566(13).

Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD). The Planned Development Overlay (PD) Zone applies to areas of the City appropriate for a flexible design approach to the development, which allows the development of diverse and varied uses and development that may not comply with all of the otherwise applicable standards of this Code in order to promote the orderly growth of Lompoc consistent with the General Plan.

Special Event Overlay Zone (SEO). The Special Event Overlay (SEO) Zone applies to areas of the City that have a base industrial zone (I Zone or BP Zone) but are frequented by tourists and visitors for wine tasting and related activities. The SEO Zone is intended to facilitate special events in these areas.

H Street Overlay Zone (HSO). The H Street Overlay (HSO) Zone applies to lots along the H Street corridor that are anticipated to be redeveloped or developed with commercial, residential, or a mix of uses in buildings and with associated improvements that result in a more attractive built environment that accommodates pedestrians, bicycles, transit, and private vehicles.

(Ord. 1670(19) § 11)

§ 17.224.030 Allowed Land Use and Permit Requirements.

Land uses within any overlay zone shall comply with the allowed uses of the base zone, except as specifically modified, waived, or augmented by the overlay zone in Table 17.224.030.A (Overlay Zones Allowed Uses). If there is a conflict between any of the allowed uses in a base zone and an overlay zone, the overlay zone allowed uses shall control.

The land uses allowed in the overlay zones are listed below, together with the planning permit type required for each use.

Establishment of an Allowable Use.

Any one or more land uses allowed in Table 17.224.030.A (Overlay Zones Allowed Uses) may be established on any lot within the overlay zone, subject to the planning permit requirement listed in the Table, and in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Code. Accessory uses are allowed only in conjunction with a primary use to which the accessory use relates.

Uses not listed below may be allowed in compliance with Section 17.520.050 (Allowable Uses of Land).

§ 17.224.050 Additional Standards and Requirements.

Airport Overlay Zone.

Lompoc Airport Master Plan (LAMP) compliance. Development in the AO Zone shall comply with the standards and limitations included in the LAMP.

Limitations and prohibited uses. The following are prohibited within the AO Zone:

Illuminated signs.

Any use which would direct steady or flashing lights at aircraft during initial climb or final approach, other than a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved navigational signal or visual approach slope indicator (VASI).

Any use which would cause sunlight to be reflected toward an aircraft or initial climb or final approach.

Any use which would generate electrical interference that may be detrimental to operation of aircraft or airport instrumentation.

Height limitation—Clear zone. No structure, building, or vegetation shall exceed a height of 15 feet above the elevation of the airport take-off and landing area which has been established at 88.04 feet above mean sea level. The height of the approach zone, extended outward from the clear zone at its widest dimension, is 150 feet above the elevation of 88.04 feet.

Processing. Development of any size, involving the erection or placement of buildings or the locating of any object including movable objects, on any parcel within the AO Zone, shall be approved by the Airport Land Use Commission prior to the issuance of any Grading Permit or Building Permit. The City is responsible for issuing the Building Permit for a project consistent with the LAMP. No Building or Grading Permit shall be issued prior to land use clearance by the Airport Land Use Commission.

Performance standards. These performance standards are intended to be utilized for evaluating projects that may be acceptable in the clear zone or the approach zone, but have not been considered by the Airport Land Use Commission as being acceptable as identified as permitted and conditionally permitted uses in Table 17.224.030.A (Overlay Zones Allowed Uses). In any event, uses not listed in Table 17.224.030.A may be permitted, subject to a Conditional Use Permit, if the following general standards are met:

The use does not generate concentrations of people greater than 25 per acre;

The use does not result in concentrations of explosive, hazardous, or toxic materials of any significance;

The project has been referred to the Airport Land Use Commission for review and recommendations and the Commission has considered the Airport Land Use Commission's recommendations prior to making a decision;

Public safety officials indicated, in writing, that they can provide emergency services to the property;

A "drop zone," 40 feet in width, centered on the runway centerline, shall be provided. Uses allowable in the 40-foot wide emergency drop zone may include auto access lanes, landscaping, breakaway light standards, water features, and underground utilities;

The proposed use shall not result in concentrations of highway traffic due to poorly located drive approaches, unusual commercial "attention getting" devices, or signs;

The use shall be compatible with noise and safety performance standards, as identified in the adopted Santa Barbara County Airport Land Use Plan and the adopted Lompoc Airport Land Use Plan (LAMP);

The use will not result in danger to aircraft from light or glare; and

Mitigation measures, pursuant to CEQA, as approved by the Commission, are made a part of the project approval.

Cultural Resources Overlay Zone.

Applicability.

The CRO Zone includes all property, with an average slope of less than 30%, located south of the centerline of Olive Avenue, and all property within the Archaeological High Sensitivity Zone, as shown in the Cultural Resources Study, Spanne, October 1988.

The CRO Zone standards apply to the following types of development proposals:

(i)

Planning, Engineering, and Building Division permit applications that involve ground disturbance;

(ii)

Development of private facilities, including utilities, in the public right-of-way;

(iii)

Development of public facilities within and outside of the public right-of-way;

(iv)

Development proposals for annexation and/or development of property outside City limits at the time of application; and

(v)

Demolition permits that involve ground disturbance.

Environmental review. All projects in the CRO Zone are subject to environmental review under NEPA and CEQA, as otherwise required. However, if the project is ministerial, or the only identified environmental issue is cultural resources, the standards of the CRO can be applied directly, without a separate environmental document being prepared and circulated. Consultation, in the form of written notification shall be given to Native American tribes requesting notification, for any discretionary project within the CRO Zone or Archaeological High Sensitivity Zone.

CRO Zone standards.

Options. If ground-disturbing development is proposed in this area, the property owner or applicant has the option of either obtaining a Phase 1 evaluation of the subject property or properties, or contracting for a qualified archaeological monitor to oversee all ground-disturbing activity associated with development.

(i)

Phase 1 evaluation. Prior to construction or site disturbance, the project applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to conduct a Phase 1 study of the subject property, and submit documented findings and recommendations for future evaluation to the Department. Prior verified Phase 1 evaluations of the property can also be used to meet the requirements of this Subsection. Recommendations of the Phase 1 evaluation shall be followed during construction on the site.

(ii)

Monitoring. Prior to construction, the applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor all ground-disturbing work associated with the proposed project and prepare a report verifying the monitoring activity and its findings. The report shall describe the significance and disposition of any cultural resources identified and shall be submitted to the Department within 30 days of the monitoring activity.

Cultural Resource Protection Program. A Cultural Resource Protection Program shall be implemented in cases where cultural resources are uncovered, either while a project is being actively monitored by an archaeologist, or accidentally during construction.

Work shall stop until a qualified archaeologist has reviewed the find and determined if it qualifies as a historic resource or a unique resource.

If the find is determined to be historic or unique by the qualified archaeologist, a plan for preservation of the material shall be developed by the archaeologist and implemented.

If evidence of prehistoric artifacts is discovered, the Chumash Tribe shall be consulted. Preservation in place shall be the preferred manner of mitigation.

If data recovery through excavation is the only feasible mitigation, a data recovery plan shall be prepared and adopted, prior to any further excavation. The data recovery plan shall provide for adequate recovery of scientifically consequential information from and about the historical resource.

Data recovery shall not be required for an archaeological resource if the City, as the lead agency, determines that testing or studies already completed have adequately recovered the scientifically consequential information from and about the archaeological resource, provided that the studies are deposited with the California Historical Resources Regional Information Center.

Requirements for evaluation. Table 17.224.050.A identifies the requirements for Cultural Resource Evaluation.

Table 17.224.050.A: Requirements for Cultural Resource Evaluation
Type of Resource On-Site	Required Cultural Resource Process
Development in the CRO Zone, where archaeology is the only environmental issue.	Retain a qualified archaeologist to conduct either a Phase I evaluation of the subject property; and/or retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor all ground-disturbing activity associated with the proposed development. An archaeological protection program shall be developed, if necessary to address cultural resources discovered on the subject property.

Violations. Any firm, corporation, or person, whether as principal, agent, employee, or otherwise violating or causing the violation of any of the requirements of Subsection B will be guilty of a misdemeanor, and conviction shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by incarceration in the County jail for not more than six months, or by both the fine and incarceration. Any violations of these provisions constitute a separate offense for each and every day during which the violation is committed or continued. In addition, any violation shall constitute a public nuisance and, as such, may be abated or enjoined from further operation consistent with Chapter 17.628 (Property Nuisances).

Planned Development Overlay Zone.

The PD Overlay Zone may be adopted, consistent with Chapter 17.604 (Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan Amendments), and applied within any established zone except for the Specific Plan Zone.

Residential density shall not exceed that identified in the Land Use Element of the General Plan.

Special Event Overlay Zone.

Standards for Special Events exempt from a Temporary Use Permit.

The event shall not exceed 72 hours.

The event cannot exceed the maximum occupant load or the approved occupant load for any room as approved on the building plans.

No manufacturing activities shall occur in spaces being used for events. Manufacturing activities include grape processing, destemming, pressing, active fermenting, automatic bottling or fork lift operations.

Special Events that are exempt from a Temporary Use Permit. A special event that is contained indoor, outdoor or both, on the same property and within an area under the control of the winery or micro alcohol business management, and complies with the standards for special event in Subsection D.1 shall not require the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit.

Special Events that require a Temporary Use Permit.

Consistent with Section 17.404.210 (Temporary Uses), a special event that is not exempt by Subsection D.2 where the main purpose is not to market the products sold at the location shall require the approval of a Special Event Temporary Use Permit under the process described below.

To facilitate and encourage special events, a Special Event Temporary Use Permit (TUP) is valid for 365 days. These permits shall be limited to one event per month for the 365-day period.

The process for the Special Event TUP is as follows:

(i)

Special Event TUP application is submitted with a description of the types of events and types of configurations of the facility and occupancies, for Planning Division review and approval.

(ii)

Special Event TUP application must be signed by the property owner and applicant.

(iii)

Upon Planning Division approval, Special Event TUP will be issued with the following language for applicant to agree to the following:

(a)

Compliance with all applicable Federal, State, County and local regulations and ordinances shall be maintained during each temporary event.

(b)

A Special Event TUP shall not exceed one year from the date of issuance.

(c)

The temporary events shall cease on the last date printed on the permit, and all related equipment, supplies, projects and personnel related to the Special Event Temporary Use Permit and not part of the day to day operation of the business shall be removed from the site. If no changes to the facility have occurred the applicant may apply for a ministerial, across the counter, new Temporary Use Permit which may be approved for a 12-month period.

(d)

The proposed temporary events shall remain in compliance with standards and regulations stated in LMC Chapter 8.08 (Noise) at all times.

(e)

Pedestrian and vehicular access/circulation shall not be impaired by the temporary events.

(f)

During each event, the parking lot must remain free of obstructions to serve as off-street parking spaces for the customers.

(g)

Any temporary on-site signage advertising the event shall be securely fastened and removed at the end of each event.

(h)

All temporary events are to remain outside of the public right-of-way.

(i)

Any damage to City facilities caused by the applicant (i.e., curb, gutter, sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, etc.) shall be repaired and/or replaced as deemed necessary by the City Engineer. The repair and/or replacement shall be paid IN FULL by applicant.

(j)

A clear driving aisle is to be maintained at all times for emergency personnel and equipment. Vehicles may only park in designated stalls or on the street. No blocking of accessible spaces or fire lane access shall occur.

(k)

During the temporary events, all exits shall remain unlocked at all times and the gate shall be left often.

(l)

The proposed events shall comply with all applicable Building and Fire Codes.

(m)

No pollutants are to be discharged from the site, either as dust, in liquid or in storm water (or drainage inlets).

(n)
