INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS

Sections:

9.14.010    Purpose of chapter, applicability.

9.14.020    Industrial district land uses and permit requirements.

9.14.030    Industrial district general development standards.

9.14.040    Industrial design standards/guidelines.

9.14.010 Purpose of chapter, applicability.

A.    Industrial districts. This chapter provides regulations applicable to development and new land uses in the industrial zoning districts established by Section 9.08.010 (Zoning districts established). The purpose of this chapter is to achieve the following:

1.    Provide for the development of nonpolluting, clean industrial land uses to broaden the economic/employment base of the City, while ensuring compatible integration with nonindustrial uses, in a manner consistent with the General Plan;

2.    Provide for the development of industrial land uses that complement the establishment of an Urban Village network, with emphasis on proximity to transit corridor or business core access;

3.    Provide adequate space to meet the needs of industrial development, including off-street parking and loading, and ensure compatibility between industrial land uses, high traffic corridors and nearby residential neighborhoods;

4.    Minimize traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of utilities;

5.    Minimize excessive noise, illumination, unsightliness, odor, smoke, and other objectionable influences; and

6.    Promote high standards of site planning, architectural and landscape design for industrial developments within the City.

B.    Individual zoning districts. The purpose of the individual industrial zoning districts are as follows:

1.    C-M (Commercial and Light Manufacturing) District. The C-M District is applied to areas appropriate for retail and wholesale sales, light manufacturing, warehousing, distributing, and storage operations, in addition to providing for a close relationship between warehousing, distribution, and retail sales. The C-M District is consistent with the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan;

2.    M-P (Industrial Park) District. The M-P District is applied exclusively to areas appropriate for the integrated development of modern, large scale specialized manufacturing uses, administrative, and research organizations, in addition to providing an aesthetically attractive working environment with park setting, attractive structures, ample employee parking, and other amenities appropriate to employee oriented industrial activities. The M-P District is consistent with the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan;

3.    M-1 (Light Industrial) District. The M-1 District is applied to areas appropriate for business parks and industrial uses within enclosed structures with limited screened outdoor storage, including warehousing and distribution facilities, mini-warehouse storage, and a variety of light manufacturing uses. The M-1 District is consistent with the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan;

4.    M-2 (Heavy Industrial) District. The M-2 District is applied to areas appropriate for heavy industrial uses engaged in the mechanical or chemical processing of materials or substances into new products, the assembling of component parts, or the blending of materials, including food processing, automobile assembly or recycling, machine shops, and a variety of heavy manufacturing uses, which may require appropriate buffering from adjacent commercial and residential uses. The M-2 District is consistent with the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan; and

5.    R-T (Research and Technology/Business Park) District. The R-T District is applied to areas appropriate for research- and technology-based land uses, within a business campus setting, that will ensure positive future growth in employment within the City; generate revenue to the City and higher than average wages or payroll; and ensure compatibility with local infrastructure, adjacent land uses, and natural resources. The R-T District is consistent with the Industrial and Mixed Use/Business Campus land use designations of the General Plan and the Business Campus designation of Herndon Shepherd Specific Plan. Development within the R-T District requires compliance with the R-T Park Architectural Guidelines. (§ 2, Ord. 14-13, eff. October 8, 2014; § 1(2) (Atts. 1, 2), Ord. 20-18, eff. February 3, 2021; § 1(2) (Att. A), Ord. 23-05, eff. August 9, 2023; § 1, Ord. 24-11, eff. October 3, 2024)

9.14.020 Industrial district land uses and permit requirements.

A.    Allowed land uses. Table 2-6 identifies the uses of land allowed by this Development Code in each industrial zoning district, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Division 5 of this title (Land Use/Development Review Procedures).

B.    Prohibited land uses. Any table cell left blank means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zoning district.

C.    Site plan review required. Any change of occupancy type and all construction activities (e.g., additions, alterations, construction, reconstruction, or remodeling) shall be subject to site plan review approval in compliance with Chapter 56 of this title (Site Plan Review).

D.    Applicable sections. Where the last column in the tables (“See Section”) includes a section number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other sections of this Development Code may also apply.

(9)    Allows multi-tenants within a single structure. The minimum building size can be met by structures under a common roof or having architectural elements which visually connect individual buildings into a “building group.”

(10)    The setback shall be measured at right angles from the nearest face of the curb adjoining the street to the nearest point of the wall of the structure, in compliance with Section 9.24.100(C).

(11)    Specific development standards may be established with the adoption of the R-T District for a site. Refer to the specific zoning for the site.

(12)    A maximum height of thirty-five feet (35') when located within one hundred feet (100') of a residentially zoned parcel.

(13)    Greater heights may be allowed with a conditional use permit, in compliance with Chapter 64 of this title, only with an additional finding that the increased heights would not adversely affect nearby residences or other business park tenants.

(14)    Structures may be a minimum of ten thousand (10,000) square feet when approved through a master site plan review within a business campus planned development.

(15)    The minimum parcel size within Mixed-Use Focus Area No. 6 of the General Plan shall be eighty thousand (80,000) square feet.
