Two industrial zoning districts are established to create and preserve suitable areas for the assembly, manufacture, processing, storage, and shipment of finished products and raw materials. These activities serve the community by providing employment, contributing to the tax base, and creating products used and needed by consumers. The intent of these two zoning districts is to:
A. 
Provide for the development of nonpolluting, clean industrial uses to broaden the economic/employment base of the city, while ensuring compatible integration with nonindustrial uses, in a manner consistent with the general plan;
B. 
Upgrade the existing function and appearance of the city's industrial areas by encouraging high quality development;
C. 
Provide adequate space to meet the needs of industrial development, including appropriate off-street parking and loading facilities;
D. 
Minimize traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of utilities;
E. 
Minimize excessive illumination, noise, odor, smoke, unsightliness, and other objectionable influences; and
F. 
Promote high standards of site planning and landscape design for the industrial developments within the city.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2(Exh. A), 11-25-04)
The purposes of the individual industrial zoning districts are as follows:
A. 
BP (Business Park) zoning district. The BP zoning district is intended to provide a stable environment conducive to the development and protection of specialized manufacturing, packaging, printing, publishing, testing, and research and development with associated administrative office facilities often providing a campus-like environment as a corporate headquarters. These facilities are operated and maintained in a clean and quiet manner and continually meet the standards identified in this chapter and in this zoning ordinance. The BP zoning district is consistent with the business park and light industrial land use designations of the general plan; and
B. 
ML (Industrial Light) zoning district. The ML zoning district is designed to encourage sound industrial development (e.g., light manufacturing, industrial processing, storage and distribution, warehousing), in addition to service commercial uses (e.g., motor vehicle repair facilities) in the city by providing and protecting an environment exclusively for this type of development, subject to regulations identified in this zoning ordinance which are necessary to ensure the protection of nearby residential uses from hazards, noises, or other related disturbances. Industries producing substantial amounts of hazardous waste, odor, or other pollutants would be prohibited. Businesses serving commercial uses (e.g., food service or office supply) would generally be allowed as ancillary uses, subject to appropriate development standards. The ML zoning district is consistent with the Light Industrial land use designation of the general plan.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2(Exh. A), 11-25-04)
A. 
Allowed land uses. Table 2-11 indicates the uses allowed within the BP and ML zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with article 4 (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures).
B. 
Prohibited land uses. Any table cell with a "—" means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zoning district.
C. 
Land uses not listed. For land uses not listed in table 2-11, the provisions of subsection 4.19.030 (Director's review) shall apply.
D. 
Design review required. All construction activities (e.g., additions, alterations, construction, reconstruction, or remodeling) shall require design review approval in compliance with subsection 4.19.060 (Design review).
E. 
Applicable subsections. Where the last column in the tables ("See Section") includes a subsection number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other Sections of this zoning ordinance may also apply.
