11.28.010 Prohibited uses designated--Reasons for exclusion.

The city council, after full consideration of the fact that the purpose of zoning is to conserve public health, safety and general welfare, finds that the area comprising the city of South Gate represents but a very small portion of the entire metropolitan area, which latter constitutes a single, economic area on the level of industry and commerce; that, on the basis of this larger metropolitan area, the overall land use pattern and use classifications as defined by the combination of the county’s zoning and the zoning of the many cities within the county, full provision is made for all types of uses necessary to the industrial development of the total area; that the following uses, because their nuisance and hazard characteristics, if permitted within the intensively developed area comprising the city of South Gate, would defeat the basic purposes of zoning, that to exclude these uses from the city of South Gate does not, for the reasons stated, constitute a prohibition but, rather, represents a reasonable regulation because full provisions for their appropriate location is assured by the total land use pattern of the metropolitan area.
