B. 
Products Produced on Premises. All products that are manufactured or processed on the premises in conjunction with a permitted use shall be sold on the premises as retail only.
C. 
On-Site Storage. Storage shall be limited to accessory storage of commodities sold at retail on the premises, or used as an element of an activity permitted on the premises. Such storage shall be placed within a wholly enclosed building or structure, unless otherwise permitted by this chapter.
(2814, 2012)
A. 
Required Commercial Component. In the GGMU-1, CC-2, CC-3, NMU, and AR zones, stand-alone residential development shall not be permitted. All vertically integrated mixed use developments shall require a minimum commercial component as follows:
1. 
GGMU-1 Zone. In the GGMU-1 zone, the commercial development component shall comprise a minimum of 0.3 FAR of the overall development. However, any project consisting entirely of deed-restricted affordable housing shall not be required to have a commercial component. See Section 9.18.090.020 (Garden Grove Boulevard Mixed Use Zone Development Standards).
2. 
CC-2 Zone. In the CC-2 zone, residential uses shall be permitted only on the second and third floors. See Section 9.18.090.050 (Additional Regulations Specific to the CC-2 Zone).
3. 
CC-3 Zone.

2. 
Manufacturing or industrial activities, including but not limited to welding, machining, or any open flame work, except those permitted as part of a work-live development in the AR zone.
3. 
Any other activity, as determined by the responsible review authority, to be incompatible with residential activities and/or to have the possibility of affecting the health or safety of residents due to the potential for the use to create late-night activity, dust, glare, heat, noise, noxious gases, odor, smoke, traffic, vibration, or other impacts, or would be hazardous because of materials, processes, products, or wastes.
C. 
Loading and Unloading Activities. Where applicable, the covenants, conditions, and restrictions of a residential/commercial mixed use development shall indicate the times when the loading and unloading of goods may occur, provided that, in no event, shall loading or unloading take place after 10:00 p.m. or before 7:00 a.m. on any day of the week.
D. 
Change in Use. After approval and project completion/issuance of a certificate of occupancy permit, a mixed use building shall not be converted to entirely residential use unless such use is permitted in the zone in which it is located.
