(§ 1, Ord. 898-NS, eff. July 18, 2012)
Any use designated as "Permitted" by the following list shall comply with the provisions of this Code. Any permitted use which will occupy an existing structure (with no structural alteration/enlargement) shall comply with the operational standards contained in this article as well as Article III (General Regulations). Additionally, any permitted use which will occupy an existing structure that is to be altered, enlarged, or requires construction of a new structure(s) shall require the approval of a Development Permit in compliance with Chapter 2, Article 10.
The following list of Allowed Land Uses, Table IV-8, establishes the primary land uses in the MPD zoning district which are Permitted (P) or subject to a Development Permit (D) or a Conditional Use Permit (C). In accordance with Section 9-1.106, uses that are not listed shall be expressly prohibited, unless the Director determines the use to be similar in nature and class to other uses listed.
For the purpose of this article, the following definitions shall apply:
"Heavy industrial/manufacturing"
means activities which, by virtue of size, intensity, number of employees or the nature of the operation, have the potential to create significant impacts by reason of dust, glare, heat, noise, noxious gases, odor, smoke, traffic, vibration or other impacts, or hazardous by way of materials, process, product or wastes and when conducted within/outside of an enclosed structure(s) (with active/passive out-door screened storage areas allowed).
"Light industrial/manufacturing"
means activities which, by virtue of size, intensity, number of employees or the nature of the operation, would not likely create significant impacts by reason of dust, glare, heat, noise, noxious gases, odor, smoke, traffic, vibration or other impacts, or hazardous by way of materials, process, product or wastes and only when conducted within an enclosed structure(s) (with only passive outdoor screened storage areas allowed).

Industrial Planned Unit Development. An industrial planned unit development (PUD) is an industrial development intended to provide greater design flexibility and creativity by allowing deviations from the typical zoning development standards required by the zoning district in order to encourage better-designed projects which would ordinarily comply with all development requirements, in exchange for providing greater benefits to the community. Examples of the types of zoning deviations which can be allowed through the PUD process include, but are not limited to, modifying lot dimension requirements, reducing building setbacks from property lines, and altering parking and landscaping requirements by allowing common areas to satisfy the standard requirements.
(1) 
The Planning Commission may approve a Development Permit for an industrial PUD when all of the following requirements are met:
(a) 
The Industrial PUD shall be within the Manufacturing Planned Development (MPD) zoning district.
(b) 
The proposed industrial PUD is consistent with the Huntington Park General Plan.
(c) 
All development standards shall substantially meet those prescribed under Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 3 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code (HPMC), "MPD (Industrial/Manufacturing Planned Development) Zones," unless otherwise stated in this section. These standards shall include allowable uses, intensity (floor area ratio), and general standards.
(2) 
Development Permit Approval. The industrial PUD section includes the following requirements:
(a) 
A Development Permit is required for the conversion of existing industrial/manufacturing facilities into a PUD, or for any new construction of an industrial PUD. Before a building or grading permit is issued for any new or converted structure, the property owner/applicant shall obtain a Development Permit approval in accordance with Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 10 of the HPMC.
(b) 
In addition to any requirements under Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 10 of the HPMC, the Development Permit approval for an industrial PUD may include development conditions not limited to site design and arrangement, architectural design, storage facilities, phasing of improvements, public improvements, circulation, access, lighting, fencing, landscaping, buffering, hours of operation, incidental outdoor uses (storage) and screening, regulations of noise, vibration and odors, and property maintenance.
(3) 
General Requirements for an Industrial PUD. In order to justify variation from conventional zoning, a proposed industrial PUD is required to provide additional design features, sufficient to justify any variations from more conventional zoning regulations.
(a) 
For each variation from the conventional Manufacturing Planned Development (MPD) zone standards, the applicant shall describe a design feature or amenity which is in proportion to the degree of variation, and shall explain why the variation is appropriate. The City shall consider only those design features or amenities which exceed what is otherwise legally required by the City's Code. The following are examples of the types of additional design features which may be considered: Increased landscaping and/or landscape setbacks, pedestrian amenities such as outdoor benches and fountains, extraordinary architecture, and on-site day care.
(b) 
The minimum aggregate land area for a proposed industrial PUD shall be 125,000 square feet.
(c) 
If the development is divided into parcels/lots, the minimum lot size shall be 5,000 square feet; however, there shall be no lot dimension requirements. Where no individual lots are proposed, the minimum individual tenant/ownership unit shall be 5,000 square feet.
(d) 
There shall be no outdoor uses permitted, including exterior storage, unless it is decoratively screened with architecturally compatible fences/walls, etc., as approved by the Director of Community Development. Such outdoor use shall not encroach into any required landscaping or parking areas.
(e) 
Parking shall be calculated on a cumulative basis for the entire PUD based on a ratio of one parking space for every 800 square feet of use. Higher (parking) intensity uses shall not be permitted unless additional parking is provided to meet the respective requirement.
(f) 
Common parking and landscaping areas are encouraged as a means of creating a more efficient and creative design. However, the total number of parking spaces required for any individual tenant/ownership unit shall not be more than a 200-foot straight-line distance to the main entrance of the building.
(g) 
Sidewalks are required to be provided from parking areas to the entrances of each individual tenant/ownership unit. Sidewalks shall also be required to arrive at any common open space/amenity areas from any given unit.
(h) 
Subdivision of the property shall follow the procedures prescribed in Title 9, Chapter 5 of the HPMC, "Subdivisions."
(i) 
A minimum of one off-street loading space (truck well) shall be required for each individual tenant/ownership unit up to 15,000 square feet; one additional loading space is required for individual tenant/ownership units up to 25,000 square feet; and two additional spaces are required for individual tenant/ownership spaces over 25,000 square feet or as required by the Director of Community Development. No loading spaces (truck wells) shall be allowed ingress/egress from a public street unless practical difficulties exist that would make this requirement infeasible, as determined by the Director of Community Development. All other loading facilities standards shall meet the requirements prescribed in Title 9, Chapter 3, Article 7 of the HPMC, "Off-Street Loading Standards."
(j) 
Every parcel with a structure shall have trash bin(s) and enclosure(s) on the premises in compliance with Section 9-3.103; however, common area bins/enclosures may be considered subject to Planning Division design review and approval.
(4) 
Architecture and Design Requirements for an Industrial PUD. Buildings should use exterior wall materials that contain integral color and texture. Colors should meet the City's Color Ordinance, and highly reflective wall surfaces are discouraged.
(a) 
Pedestrian entrances should be located along street and private drive frontages whenever possible. Different internal operational function areas, such as offices and warehousing/manufacturing, should vary building heights and setbacks to better define the different areas. Distinct and accentuated architectural treatment can include additional building height, visual relief, commercial style glass storefront, more decorative exterior material/finish, etc.
(b) 
When walls over 30 feet in length are necessary and are visible from public and private streets/drives, visual relief through pilasters, reveals, color and material change, or other small offsets should be provided.
(c) 
Careful attention should be given to the appearance of large flat roof surfaces from public view.
(5) 
Landscaping Requirements for an Industrial PUD. Industrial PUDs should be carefully landscaped with particular concern for views from public streets, public places and neighboring commercial and residential districts.
(a) 
Landscaping. A minimum of 5% of the aggregate PUD site area shall be dedicated to landscaping for projects under five acres in size. For projects between five and 10 acres in size, a minimum of 4% of the aggregate PUD site area shall be dedicated to landscaping, and projects over 10 acres in size shall dedicate a minimum of 3% of the aggregate PUD site area for landscaping. Such landscaping is encouraged to be located at the most conspicuous locations of the site(s), such as along public street and private driveway frontages. Landscaping which is screened from view or hidden behind buildings shall not be counted as contributing towards the minimum landscaping requirement.
(b) 
A landscaped edge planted with a combination of trees and shrubs should be provided along all public or private street-facing property lines. Parking, storage, loading spaces (truck wells), trash and service areas should be set back from the street or driveway and screened with adequate landscaping to minimize their visual impact.
