District (O). The primary purpose of the office (O) district is to
provide areas for the establishment of park-like, office-based working
environments for general business, corporate, professional and administrative
offices. It is the further intent of this district to provide setbacks,

of such uses is relatively compatible with residential development
in the vicinity.
B. Office
Commercial District (OC). The primary purpose of the office commercial
(OC) district is to provide for the establishment of business, corporate
and administrative office, as well as commercial services which are
supportive to major business developments. Retail facilities which

specified in this section.
C. Village
Commercial District (VC). The primary purpose of the village commercial
(VC) district is to provide for office related and commercial development
within the original Moreno townsite. It is the further intent of this
district to promote development which recognizes the historic significance
of the site and projects a "turn-of-the-century" architectural atmosphere,
yet provides limited retail commercial services that are compatible
with the surrounding residential community.
D. Neighborhood
Commercial District (NC). The primary purpose of the neighborhood
commercial (NC) district is to satisfy the daily shopping needs of
Moreno Valley residents by providing construction of conveniently
located neighborhood centers which provide limited retail commercial
services. These centers must be compatible with the surrounding residential
communities.
E. Community
Commercial District (CC). The primary purpose of the community commercial
(CC) district is to provide for the general shopping needs of area
residents and workers with a variety of business, retail, personal
and related or similar services.

On legal lots of record existing immediately prior to
the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in this title, and
which otherwise comply with all other provisions in this title and
with all land use regulations existing immediately prior to adoption
of the ordinance codified in this title, if any of such lots contain
less than the minimum depths required by this section they need not
provide a front building setback or landscaping greater than 20% of
the depth of the property (excluding right-of-way area). The creation
of new lots within these districts shall conform to these minimum
dimensions, except in the case of condominium lots or lots within
an integrated commercial center containing shared parking and access,
in which case no minimums are established. Parcels created within
integrated commercial centers are exempt from the site development
standards stated herein, as they relate to minimum site areas, and
minimum lot width and depth, as long as a conceptual development plan
for the entire center has been developed and approved and if appropriate
easements for reciprocal access parking and maintenance are provided.
B. Special
Requirements.
1. Wherever
a lot in any commercial district abuts a lot in any residential district,
a minimum setback equal to the building height, but not less than
10 feet shall be required. A minimum of 10 feet nearest the district
boundary line shall be landscaped.
2. Where
off-street parking areas or drive-through aisles in commercial districts
are situated so as to be visible from any street, screening in the
form of a landscaped earthen berm, shrubs, or decorative wall three
feet in height shall be erected between the street and the parking
area.
3. In
all commercial districts, required front building setback areas shall
be landscaped. Such landscaping shall consist predominantly of plant
materials except for necessary walks and drives.
4. Required
rear and interior side building setback areas in any commercial district
shall be used only for landscaping, pedestrian walkways, driveways,
off-street parking or loading, recreational activities or facilities,
and similar accessory activities.
5. In
the office commercial district, all nonoffice uses permitted shall
be supportive of office-based development. (See Table 9.02.020-1.)
6. In
the office commercial district, all commercial and retail activities,
other than offices, shall be limited to no more than 25% of the square
footage of any building. In the case of a mixed-use development, no
more than 25% of the total square footage of all buildings shall be
devoted to commercial/retail uses, with the remaining 75% to be utilized
for office.
7. Parking for each use shall comply with the requirements of Chapter
9.11.
8. Except
as otherwise specified in this section, structures shall be constructed
either on the property line or be set back at least three feet from
the rear or interior side property line.
