§ 9.12.020.010 Purpose.

The purpose of this section is to implement the provisions of the General Plan regarding land use through the establishment of permissible uses and the designation of such uses into compatible zoning districts. Additionally, those uses that are conditionally permissible or permitted for limited time periods are defined.

§ 9.12.020.020 Summary of Zones.

The following zones and their general purposes are established:

Residential Zones. Residential zones are designed and intended to secure for persons living there a safe, healthy, and pleasant living environment, protected from incompatible uses and activities. These residential zones are as follows:

R-2 (Limited Multiple Residential). The R-2 zone is intended to provide for a limited increase in population density by permitting multiple attached or detached dwellings on a lot. This zone is intended to provide a transition between lower density, single-family detached residences and higher-density residential or non-residential uses.

R-3 (Multiple-Family Residential). The R-3 zone is intended to provide for a variety of types and densities of multiple-family residential dwellings. This zone is intended to promote housing opportunities in close proximity to employment and commercial centers.

§ 9.12.020.040 General Limitations on Uses.

In addition to any special regulations imposed by this chapter, the following limitations on uses shall be observed:

Residential Zoned Property.

Auto repair, incidental to residential usage, shall only be conducted within an enclosed garage, and only upon vehicles owned by the property owner or resident.

All accessory functions and operations shall not be objectionable by reason of noise, odor, dust, mud, smoke, steam, vibration or other similar causes.

Occupancy of any trailer, camper, or other vehicle while stored on any property zoned (or used) for residential purposes is prohibited.

No commercial, industrial, public or semi-public use shall be operated or conducted, in any residential zone, except pursuant to an approved home occupation permit.

§ 9.12.020.050 Special Operating Conditions and Development Standards.

Because certain uses require specific conditions and development standards due to specific site and operating characteristics, special review and consideration is necessary. The conditional uses and other uses requiring special consideration are as follows:

Churches, other religious centers, and other authorized assembly uses in residential zones and open space zones. Subject to a conditional use permit and the following conditions:

The depth of the required front yard for churches, sanctuaries, or main assembly buildings shall be 40 feet when entrances are located in the front of the building; however, when building entrances do not face the front yard, the main structure shall be required to provide only a front yard setback specified in the zone in which the building is located.

The depth of the required front yard for accessory buildings, e.g., permitted school buildings, showers or restroom facilities, etc., shall be only the front yard required in the zone in which they are located, provided said structures have no entrance facing the front yard.

The required front yard for any off-street parking area shall be no less than that required for the zone in which the parking area is located, provided that a solid or decorative masonry wall of 42 inches in height is provided between the parking area and the front yard.

Limitations on lot coverage by buildings need not apply.

Main buildings and structures on the site shall not be closer than 25 feet to any property line that is a common property line with "R" zoned property, except that accessory buildings and structures shall maintain a side yard of 10 feet, with five feet added at ground level for each additional story over the first. Any detached one-family dwelling on such site shall conform to the yard requirements and required distance between buildings as described in the zone in which the dwelling is located.

A solid wall not less than six feet in height shall be constructed and maintained on any property lines adjoining residential property, provided such wall shall not extend into any required front yard, and such walls may be built progressively as the site is improved.

On interior lots, the required side yards may be used to provide off-street parking areas, and, on corner lots, the interior side yard may be similarly used. Under no circumstances may the required side yard on the street side be used for off-street parking. A solid or decorative masonry wall of 42 inches in height shall be provided between the parking area and the required side yard on the side street side.

All lights provided to illuminate any parking area or building on such site shall be so arranged as to direct the light away from any adjoining premises.

The width of the frontage of the building site shall be not less than 120 feet.

Church, religious center, and other authorized assembly use sites shall abut and be accessible from at least one public street with a roadway having not less than two parking lanes and two traffic lanes, and having a combined width of not less than 36 feet. All bounding streets and/or alleys shall be improved to the dimensions indicated on any adopted specified plans therefor, and to the City's specifications pertaining to materials, design and construction. Where no specific plan for street alignment or widths have been adopted and boundary streets or alleys do not conform to prescribed minimum requirements, the plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission to initiate proceedings and adoption of a specific plan to define boundary streets and alleys that will conform to prescribed minimums.

Parcels zoned and utilized for single-family residential purposes may be improved with churches, religious centers, and other authorized assembly uses, provided the site has frontage on a secondary or primary highway, and shall be devoted exclusively to such purposes.

10.

Requirement(s) of this subsection A may be waived by the Planning Commission upon a finding that the impacts of the project, as proposed, do not justify imposition of the requirement(s).

Cottage Food Operations. Cottage food operations are allowed as an incidental use to a residential use, subject to a cottage food operation permit and the following conditions:

Deemed Incidental Use. Subject to the provisions of this subsection, a cottage food operation for which a valid cottage food operation permit has been issued shall be considered an incidental use to any legally established residential dwelling unit, notwithstanding any other provision of this title. A cottage food operation may only be conducted in a dwelling unit in which the cottage food operator resides and shall at all times be accessory and subordinate to the primary residential use of the dwelling unit.

Cottage Food Operation Permit.

Permit Required. No person shall operate a cottage food operation within the City without a valid cottage food operation permit issued pursuant to this subsection.

Permit Application. A request for a cottage food operation permit shall be submitted in writing by the cottage food operator on an application form prescribed by the Community Development Director, and shall be accompanied by payment of an application processing fee or deposit, in the amount established by City Council resolution, and any additional information the Zoning Administrator reasonably concludes is necessary to properly evaluate the request and to render a decision.

Information Available to Applicant. Upon request by an applicant for a cottage food operation permit, the Community Development Department shall provide the applicant with the following:

A list of the permits and fees that are required by the City, including information about other permits that may be required by other departments in the City or by other public agencies.

ii.

Information about the anticipated length of time for reviewing and processing the application.

iii.

Information on the breakdown of any individual fees charged in connection with the issuance of the cottage food operation permit.

iv.

If a deposit is required to cover the cost of the cottage food operation permit, information about the estimated final cost to the applicant of the cottage food operation permit, and procedures for receiving a refund from the portion of the deposit not used.

The address(es) of any cottage food operation associated with a valid cottage food operation permit(s) previously issued by the City that would cause the applicant to be ineligible for a cottage food operation permit pursuant to the spacing and concentration limits set forth in subsection 3.

Review of Application. All applications for a cottage food operation permit shall be considered by the Zoning Administrator. Upon receipt of an application for a cottage food operation, a notice shall be sent to the adjoining property owners describing the nature of the request and advising that any comments should be submitted no later than ten days from the date the notice was sent out. A public hearing is not required in connection with the Zoning Administrator's review. The decision of the Zoning Administrator shall be final. The Zoning Administrator shall cause a cottage food operation permit to be issued to the applicant within 30 days of receipt of a complete application unless the Zoning Administrator makes one or more of the following findings:

The applicant has failed to submit a complete application and/or provide all of the information reasonably requested or necessary for the Zoning Administrator to determine whether a cottage food operation permit should be issued.

ii.

The applicant has failed to demonstrate that he or she can or will operate a cottage food operation in accordance with all applicable standards, restrictions, and requirements set forth in subsection 4.

iii.

The cottage food operation is proposed to be located within a dwelling unit that does not satisfy the spacing and concentration limits set forth in subsection 3.

iv.

The cottage food operation is proposed to be located within a dwelling unit owned by someone other than the cottage food operator, and the express written authorization of the owner of the dwelling unit or such owner's authorized agent has not been obtained and provided by the applicant.

Permit Non-Transferable. A cottage food operation permit shall only be issued to a cottage food operator and shall not be transferable to any other person or dwelling unit and shall not run with the land or constitute a transferable property right.

Term of Permit. A cottage food operation permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall continue to be valid for so long as (i) the cottage food operation permit has not been revoked; (ii) the cottage food operator continues to reside at and operate a cottage food operation from the dwelling unit described in the application; (iii) the cottage food operator continues to maintain a valid registration or permit issued by the County of Orange Health Care Agency for the cottage food operation; (iv) the express authorization of each owner of the dwelling unit or such owner's authorized agent, if required, has not been rescinded; and (v) the cottage food operator maintains a current business operation tax certificate from the City. The failure of a cottage food operator to renew or obtain a new business operation tax certificate for the cottage food operation within 90 days of its expiration shall be deemed intent to abandon the cottage food operation permit and shall cause the cottage food operation permit to automatically expire.

Permit Limitations. Issuance by the City of a cottage food operation permit shall not be deemed to supersede, or to authorize the conduct of, a cottage food operation in violation of (i) any applicable federal, state, or local law; (ii) any registration or permit issued to the cottage food operator by the County of Orange Health Care Agency; or (iii) any lease, rental agreement, and/or recorded covenants, conditions, and/or restrictions applicable to the property on which the cottage food operation is located.

Revocation of Permit. The Zoning Administrator, after giving notice to the cottage food operator at the address of the cottage food operation identified in the application and giving a reasonable opportunity for hearing, may revoke any cottage food operation permit pursuant to the provisions of this chapter upon a determination that the provisions of this chapter are being violated or that no cottage food operation is currently being conducted within the dwelling unit. The Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, may, at any time, request in writing a cottage food operator previously issued a cottage food operation permit to verify and/or provide documentation demonstrating that a cottage food operation continues to be conducted at the dwelling unit associated with the cottage food operation permit in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Failure to provide such verification and/or documentation within 15 days of the date of such request shall constitute evidence of the cottage food operator's intent to discontinue the rights granted by the cottage food operation permit. The decision of the Zoning Administrator to revoke a cottage food operation permit shall be final.

Spacing and Concentration Limits. In order to mitigate potential adverse impacts on neighboring residences associated with noise, traffic, and parking, no cottage food operation permit shall be issued for a cottage food operation proposed to be conducted within a dwelling unit on a lot located within 500 feet of another lot on which a lawful cottage food operation is located and at which customer visitation and in-person direct sales transactions are authorized. The foregoing spacing limitation shall not apply if the applicant for a cottage food operation permit certifies and agrees in writing, under penalty of perjury, that no customer visitation or in-person direct sales transactions shall be authorized to occur at the dwelling unit.

Standards, Restrictions, and Requirements Applicable to All Cottage Food Operations. All cottage food operations shall comply at all times with the standards, restrictions and requirements set forth in this subsection.
