The purpose of the UR zone is to reserve land which is currently
vacant or may be recycled to another land use in the future (i.e.
Ream Field and salt ponds). It is intended that these areas develop
pursuant to a Specific Plan treating the property as an integrated
whole at the time of development. The UR zone is intended to prevent
isolated or premature land uses from occurring on lands for which
adequate public services and facilities are unavailable or for which
the determination of the appropriate zoning regulations is precluded
by contemplated or adopted planning proposals or by a lack of economic,
demographic, geographic or other data. It is intended that the UR
zone will be replaced by other use regulations when the aforementioned
conditions no longer exist. The uses permitted are those which are
community service oriented, interim uses, or uses which, with appropriate
development regulations, will not prematurely commit the land to a
particular use or intensity of development.
(Ord. 601 § 1, 1983; Ord. 94-884)
Uses permitted in the UR zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit
include:
A. Agricultural
uses, such as horticulture, tree crops, row and field crops;
C. Essential
public services, such as fire protection services;
E. Parks,
playgrounds, athletic fields;
F. Riding
and hiking clubs and trails; and
G. Wireless
communications facilities.
(Ord. 601 § 1, 1983; Ord. 94-884; Ord. 2002-983 §§ 27—29)
A Conditional Use Permit may be granted to authorize any use
not involving a significant investment in buildings or structures,
for a period of time not exceeding five years. At the time of development
of the property, the property shall be required to develop according
to a specific plan which treats the property as an integrated whole
and, at a minimum, includes permitted uses, detailed land use map,
circulation standards and design standards. Adequate protection measures,
such as buffer zones, will be required for properties adjacent to
environmentally sensitive areas.
(Ord. 601 § 1, 1983; Ord. 94-884)
No building or structure in the Urban Reserve zone shall exceed
twenty-six feet in height.
