18.06.010 Purpose and intent.

The primary purpose of the industrial zoning districts is to provide a sound and diversified economic base and employment opportunities for the citizens of Cloverdale. It is the further intent of this chapter to accomplish this via the establishment of a specific, well-defined pattern of industrial activities which is compatible with residential, commercial, institutional, and other uses within the community; has good access to the regional transportation system; accommodates the personal needs of workers and business visitors; and which meets the service needs of local businesses. (Ord. 698-2015 § 3 (Att. 1) (part), 2015)

18.06.020 Industrial zoning districts.

A. General Industrial (M-1) Zoning District. This designation is intended to provide additional employment opportunities in Cloverdale. It is the intent of this designation that industrial uses be located and conditioned to create as few adverse environmental effects as possible. M-1 properties are therefore located away from residential uses and sensitive habitats to the fullest extent possible. Primary uses include manufacturing, industrial parks, wineries, lumber mills, assembly, warehousing and distribution. Secondary uses include professional office and research and development.

B. Industrial Park (M-P) Zoning District. This designation is intended to provide additional service-oriented employment opportunities in Cloverdale. Primary uses include professional office and research and development. Secondary uses include manufacturing, industrial parks, wineries, warehouses, and nurseries. (Ord. 698-2015 § 3 (Att. 1) (part), 2015)

18.06.030 Industrial zoning district use regulations.

Subject to applicable general plan policies and all applicable city ordinances, resolutions and/or regulations, the following table identifies whether a use is a permitted use or requires a city permit. The legend identifies the type of permit required. Uses not permitted in the table are prohibited.

Many uses in this table have a corresponding definition in Chapter 18.14.

NOTES TO TABLE:

1.    Public/quasi-public uses may be allowed if the use does not occupy more than twenty percent of the floor area of a multi-tenant facility, and conditional use permit conditions specify that the existing and future industrial use of the site shall not be limited or compromised because of the use. Parking may be shared with industrial uses, without increasing the number of spaces, but the total number of parking spaces on the site shall meet the parking requirements in Chapter 18.11, Parking and Loading Requirements.

NOTES TO TABLE:

1.    When an industrial zoning district abuts or is situated across the street from a property in any residential district, a minimum building setback of fifty feet measured from the property line shall be required from such residential zoning district. The fifteen feet of this setback located adjacent to the street or residential zoning district boundary line shall be landscaped; the remainder of the setback area within the site may be used for off-street parking purposes. A three-foot-high wall, berm or combination wall/berm shall be constructed within the landscaped area along street setbacks; along all other lot lines adjacent to residential zoning districts, walls shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.09.

2.    A fifty-foot buffer setback is required on each side of waterways shown on the general plan conservation area map.

B. Modifications to Required Setbacks. Eaves, roof projections, awnings, and similar architectural features when located at least eight feet above grade may project into required building setback area a maximum distance of three feet; provided, that such feature shall be at least five feet from a property line.

C. Modifications to Building Height.

1. The maximum height prescribed in Table 18.06.040-A for all nonresidential uses, except public buildings, schools, churches and hospitals, may be modified as follows:

a. Flues, chimneys, antennas, elevators and other mechanical equipment, spires, bell towers, or similar architectural, utility, or mechanical features which exceed the height limit by not more than fifteen feet may be allowed, provided such features shall not be used for habitable space and appropriate screening is provided, if necessary.

2. The maximum height prescribed in Table 18.06.040-A for all public buildings, schools, churches and hospitals may be modified as follows:

a. Flues, chimneys, antennas, elevators and other mechanical equipment, spires, bell towers, or similar architectural, utility, or mechanical features may not exceed a height of fifty feet measured from the finished grade to the highest point of such a structure.
