The zoning districts in this chapter are designed to provide
the opportunity for a wide variety of residential and commercial uses
that are compatible with the West Lathrop Specific Plan. The following

A. Application.
The C-REC-ST zoning district is intended to provide a variety of commercial
uses that will include resorts, theme parks, specialty lodging, typical
highway-oriented uses and recreational related uses. Such a variety

integration and compatibility. The urban design concept review shall
establish a precise mix of uses in accordance with the general categories
described in this section.

urban design concept:

parks and wildlife parks, family entertainment centers, special events
and exhibition facilities;

motels, resort hotels, chalets and related lodging establishments;
3. Highway-oriented
retail uses, including restaurant, fast food restaurants, small food
markets and service stations;
4. Farmer's
market and related commercial and entertainment facilities;
5. Transit
and commuter parking facilities;

and related uses;

D. Development
Standards. Specific development standards for the commercial recreation
(C-REC) district shall be established as part of the urban design
concept review by utilizing the following design guidelines:
1. By
utilizing a creative approach to landscaping and screening, parking
areas shall not become the predominant feature of the streetscape,
especially as it relates to adjacent open spaces and arterial streets.
2. Landscaping and irrigation standards shall generally follow those required by Chapter
17.92 and may be modified by the required UDC review by city staff, prior to issuance of development or building permits.
3. Building
setbacks shall be varied in accordance with corresponding building
heights, uses and proposed shop front and street activity. Higher
structures may require a larger front yard setback, for example.
4. Signage and minimum parking requirements (such as type and number of parking stalls) shall generally follow Section
17.84.100 and Chapter
17.76 respectively, and may be modified by the required urban design concept review by city staff, prior to issuance of development or building permits.
