F. To encourage a mixture of uses;

G. To provide for urban development standards;

H. To maintain the land use entitlements that were contained in prior code Section 10.700 (Industrial District Regulations); and

(Ord. 1167 § 2, 2003)

§ 10.26.020 Land uses allowed.

Table 10.26-1 (Land Uses Allowed in Industrial Marinship District) outlines the uses that are allowed in the industrial marinship district. The notations indicate whether the use is permitted or requires a minor use permit or a conditional use permit. The table also indicates the uses that are subject to additional special requirements and notes the section of the Zoning Ordinance where these standards can be found. In addition, all uses in the industrial marinship district are subject to the marinship overlay district, which identifies use and development requirements for all properties in the marinship specific planning area. Chapter 10.88 SMC (Definitions) provides definitions for general land use categories.

Residential and office uses which existed when the marinship specific plan was adopted are permitted to remain, provided no expansion occurs and no new uses are established, consistent with the marinship specific plan. Existing restaurants are also permitted to remain. Additions to existing restaurants and new eating establishments are subject to the marinship specific plan, this chapter, and SMC § 10.44.210 (Restaurants), as indicated in Table 10.26-1 (Land Uses Allowed in Industrial Marinship District). In addition, site-specific exceptions shall be allowed, consistent with the marinship specific plan and SMC § 10.28.050 (Marinship (-M)).

§ 10.26.030 Inclusionary uses.

The following uses may be permitted as inclusionary uses only when accompanied by a specified use:

A. Applied Arts. Applied arts uses may not exceed 50 percent of all arts uses on the parcel. Other required arts uses are fine, industrial and marine arts. Applied arts uses that are established consistent with this requirement may remain if other arts uses vacate the site and/or premises. However, the vacated tenant space cannot be utilized for uses other than required arts uses and must remain dedicated to the re-establishment of another required arts use to fulfill the inclusionary use ratio.

B. Commercial Uses. Commercial office and retail uses may not exceed 40 percent of the floor area permitted on the parcel and must be accompanied by noncommercial uses. Commercial office and retail uses that are established consistent with this requirement may remain if other noncommercial uses vacate the site and/or premises. However, the vacated tenant space cannot be utilized for uses other than noncommercial use and must remain dedicated to the re-establishment of another noncommercial use to fulfill the inclusionary use ratio.

(Ord. 1167 § 2, 2003)

Site development standards are also specified by and contained in SMC § 10.28.050 (Marinship (-M)). Specific uses may be subject to additional specific standards. In addition, certain standards vary depending on the applicable situation. Refer to noted sections and the marinship specific plan for additional requirements or explanations.

Different setbacks may also apply if district is combined with other zoning districts.

² The marinship specific plan "prefers" buildings be located at the street (public or private) right-of-way line.

³ Except adjacent to H district (20 feet) or P district (30 feet).

⁴ Unless otherwise approved by Community Development Director.

⁵ Along shoreline, lower height is encouraged. Taller buildings may be allowed for heavy marine industrial uses or remodeled existing historic structures with a conditional use permit. See marinship specific plan.

The following requirements also apply:

A. Minimum Parcel Size. New parcels proposed in a subdivision shall comply with applicable provisions of SMC § 10.40.030 (Minimum parcel standards) and SMC Title 9 (Subdivisions). Existing parcels which do not meet the minimum lot area or width requirements specified by this section may be developed in accordance with the development standards outlined in the following section; provided, that the subject parcel has been legally created.

B. Setbacks. Setbacks will only be required where the subject parcel is adjacent to a residential (including H, houseboat) or public zoning district. Additional requirements for setbacks between structures on the same site, and setbacks in other situations are established by SMC § 10.28.050 (Marinship (-M)), 10.40.080 (Exceptions to required setbacks) and by Chapter 10.44 SMC (Specific Use Requirements) for certain specific land uses.

C. Floor Area Ratio. Accessory commercial and office use is limited to a floor area ratio of 0.15 of the total permitted floor area ratio (0.40).

For the purposes of this section, commercial uses shall include commercial office, commercial services, restaurants and food services.
