The purpose of Chapter 17.14, Industrial Districts, is to permit a variety of industrial activities, with a focus on encouraging employment opportunities and clean industry, consistent with the policy direction in the city of San Pablo general plan. The intent of the industrial zoning district is described below. (Ord. 02-004 § 1 (part), 2002)
17.14.020 Intent of individual districts.
The M industrial district is intended to implement the industrial land use designation in the general plan by providing industrial employment opportunities within the city. Targeted industries include research and development, incubator industries, repair services, wholesale activities, distribution centers, and small manufacturing and fabrication. In some situations, other types of uses, such as single- and multifamily housing, are allowed with a use permit. (Ord. 02-004 § 1 (part), 2002)
17.14.030 Uses allowed.
A. Matrix of Uses. Table 14-A contains the use regulations for the industrial zoning districts, listed by classes of uses as defined in Chapter 17.08. The allowable uses in Table 14-A for each district are established by letter designations as follows:
1. “R” designates classes of uses permitted by right;
2. “A” designates classes of uses that require an administrative review;
3. “U” designates classes of uses permitted with a use permit; and
4. “-” designates classes of uses that are prohibited;
5. Any class of use not listed in Table 14-A is prohibited.
B. Exceptions Along Railroad Lines and Streams. Notwithstanding the provisions of Table 14-A, the following provisions apply:
1. Any development, except industry—limited, industry—general, and salvage yards, within three hundred feet of a railroad line that is used at least once daily shall require a use permit to ensure that the development adequately mitigates noise and vibration from the rail operations, pursuant to the relevant policies and actions under Goal PS 4 of the general plan.
2. Any development, including land disturbance, that is within fifty feet of any stream shall require a use permit to ensure that the development adequately avoids impacts to wetland features or woodlands, reduces impacts to the creek, and prevents degradation of riparian and wetland features from potential urban pollutants, pursuant to the relevant policies and actions related to creeks under Goal ER 1 of the general plan.
C. Design Review. Certain uses also require design review. A list of those uses is contained in Chapter 17.62.
D. Principal Uses Only. Only principal uses are listed in Table 14-A. Accessory uses are addressed in Section 17.14.050.
E. Other Regulations. Some uses are also subject to the provisions of Title 5 and other titles of the San Pablo Municipal Code. Those provisions are in addition to the provisions in this chapter.
F. Special Provisions. Special provisions related to a use are referenced in the “Special Provisions” column of Table 14-A.
