(Ord. 3690, 1974; Ord. 5025, 1997)
§ 29.21.005 Legislative Intent.
It is the intent of the Airport Industrial Zones to provide area for light industrial and manufacturing uses, such as research and development, electronic products manufacture and similar uses, subject to performance and development standards, consistent with the policies contained in the Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan, also known as Specific Plan #6. Specific Plan #6 provides for a graduated change in intensity with more intense development closer to Hollister Avenue in the A-I-2 Zone, including commercial services, such as branch bank, printing and photographic shop, convenience store, secretarial service and restaurant, and light industrial uses. Intensity decreases in the A-I-1 Zone toward the railroad tracks where open yard uses, such as outdoor storage, and contractor's, lumber, sand and brick yards, are allowed. The A-I-1 and A-I-2 Zones define where different intensities of use are allowed in accordance with the Specific Plan. Establishment of commercial services to serve employees of businesses within the Airport Specific Plan area will help reduce traffic. The City of Santa Barbara believes that it is important to minimize direct conflicts between the Airport and Goleta commercial areas; therefore, general commercial retail uses are not allowed because these uses are available in Old Town Goleta and other nearby areas.

Any of the following uses, provided that such operations are not obnoxious or offensive by reason of emission or odor, dust, gas, fumes, smoke, liquids, wastes, noise, vibrations, disturbances or other similar causes which may impose hazard to life or property.

Channelizations or other substantial alteration of rivers and streams shall incorporate the best mitigation measures feasible.
J.
Archaeological or other culturally sensitive resources within the Goleta Slough are protected from impacts of the proposed development.
K.
The proposed use shall minimize any adverse effects of wastewater discharges, run-off and interference with surface water flow.
L.
