A.
BP Business Park Zone. The intent of the business park zone is to provide locations for professional offices, research and development activities, and light industrial uses that contribute both revenues and jobs to the local economy. Limited retail or service uses designed to meet the business needs of offices or the personal needs of office workers are also allowed. Development profiles may consist of low- to high-rise developments (one to five stores in height) constructed either as stand-alone structures or a coordinated project in terms of site layout, architectural design, and landscaping to form a campus-like setting. The community seeks to expand these types of uses by attracting firms that are related to the medical technology field, or that would benefit from the medical advances associated with businesses and institutions in the city. This zone implements the general plan business park land use designation.
B.
CO Commercial Office Zone. The intent of the commercial office zone is to accommodate professional and medical office uses. However, commercial uses that support the office uses or office workers (e.g., office supply stores, copy services, pharmacies, day care, restaurants, dry cleaners, and sundry stores) are also allowed. Development intensity may vary from one to five stories in height depending on adjacent uses, with lower-rise structures required adjacent to residential development. This zone implements the general plan office land use designation.
C.
C-1 Neighborhood Commercial Zone. The intent of the neighborhood commercial zone is to provide locations for shopping and commercial service businesses that cater to the daily needs of the residential community and local workers. Examples of intended development include neighborhood shopping centers, specialty shops, and stand-alone commercial uses. This zone also allows limited office and religious assembly uses that are incorporated into commercial development (e.g., offices in small storefronts, or religious assembly uses in structures originally designed for commercial uses) if the dominant character of the overall development remains commercial. The overall character of uses in this zone is one of low impact in terms of traffic generation, noise, and other features that might adversely affect adjacent residential neighborhoods. This zone implements the general plan commercial land use designation.
D.
C-2 General Commercial Zone. The intent of the general business zone is to accommodate the shopping and commercial service needs of the residential community, local workers, and visitors to the city. Examples of intended development include larger shopping centers and in-line shops, hotels/motels, specialty shops, and stand-alone commercial uses. This zone also allows a limited number of office uses and religious assembly uses incorporated into commercial development if the dominant character of the overall development remains commercial. This zone implements the general plan commercial land use designation.
E.
CM Commercial Manufacturing Zone. The intent of the commercial manufacturing zone is to accommodate light industrial uses (e.g., manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, and distribution businesses) that have limited or no impact related to air quality, electrical or electronic interference, hazardous materials, light and glare, liquid and solid wastes, noise, odors, ground vibration, or water quality. Warehousing and distribution uses are limited to those uses that generate a relatively low number of vehicle trips. Office uses that are ancillary to the principal commercial or manufacturing uses are allowed. This zone implements the general plan industrial land use designation.
