20.22.010 Purposes of Mixed-Use Zoning Districts.

The purposes of the individual mixed-use zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are provided below. For the purpose of this Zoning Code, mixed-use projects shall comply with nonresidential standards when no mixed-use standards exist.

A.    MU-V (Mixed-Use Vertical) Zoning District. This zoning district is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of mixed-use structures that vertically integrate residential dwelling units above the ground floor with retail uses including office, restaurant, retail, and similar nonresidential uses located on the ground floor or above.

B.    MU-MM (Mixed-Use Mariners’ Mile) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to properties located on the inland side of Coast Highway in the Mariners’ Mile Corridor (See Figure A-5, attached to the ordinance codified in this title). Properties fronting on Coast Highway may be developed for nonresidential uses only. Properties to the rear of the commercial frontage may be developed for freestanding nonresidential uses, multi-unit residential dwelling units, or mixed-use structures that integrate residential above the ground floor with nonresidential uses on the ground floor.

C.    MU-DW (Mixed-Use Dover/Westcliff) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to properties located in the Dover Drive/Westcliff Drive area. Properties may be developed for professional office or retail uses, or as horizontal or vertical mixed-use projects that integrate multi-unit residential dwelling units with retail and/or office uses.

D.    MU-CV/15th St. (Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to areas where it is the intent to establish a cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi-unit residential dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of Cannery Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. Allowed uses may include multi-unit dwelling units; nonresidential uses; and/or mixed-use structures, where the ground floor is restricted to nonresidential uses along the street frontage. Residential uses and overnight accommodations are allowed above the ground floor and to the rear of uses along the street frontage. Mixed-use or nonresidential structures are required on lots at street intersections and are allowed, but not required, on other lots.

E.    MU-W1 (Mixed-Use Water) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to waterfront properties along the Mariners’ Mile Corridor (See Figure A-5, attached to the ordinance codified in this title) in which nonresidential uses and residential dwelling units may be intermixed. A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the allowed square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for nonresidential uses in which marine-related and visitor-serving land uses are mixed as provided in Table 2-10. A site development review, in compliance with Section 20.52.080, shall be approved prior to any development to ensure that the uses are fully integrated and that potential impacts from their differing activities are fully mitigated. Design of nonresidential space to facilitate marine-related uses is encouraged.

F.    MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to waterfront properties in which marine-related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving commercial and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. (Ord. 2010-21 § 1 (Exh. A)(part), 2010)

20.22.020 Mixed-Use Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements.

A.    Allowed Land Uses. Tables 2-8, 2-9, and 2-10 indicate the uses allowed within each zoning district and the permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Part 5 of this title (Planning Permit Procedures).

B.    Prohibited Land Uses. Any table cell with “—” means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zoning district.

C.    Applicable Regulations. The last column in the tables (“Specific Use Regulations”) may include a reference to additional regulations that apply to the use.

Notes:

(1)    All development and the subdivision of land shall comply with the requirements of Title 19 (Subdivisions).

(2)    The standards for minimum lot area and lot width are intended to regulate sites for development purposes only and are not intended to establish minimum dimensions for the creation of ownership or leasehold (e.g., condominium) purposes.

(3)    For the purpose of determining the allowable number of units, portions of legal lots that are submerged lands or tidelands are included in land area of the lot.

(4)    Portions of legal lots that are submerged lands or tidelands shall be included in the land area of the lot for the purpose of calculating the allowable floor area of structures.

(5)    The minimum density may be modified or waived through the approval of a site development review. The review authority may only waive or modify the minimum density upon making the finding that the subject property contains unique site constraints that prevent the project from complying with this standard.

Notes:

(1)    All development and the subdivision of land shall comply with the requirements of Title 19 (Subdivisions).

(2)    The standards for minimum lot area and lot width are intended to regulate sites for development purposes only and are not intended to establish minimum dimensions for the creation of ownership or leasehold (e.g., condominium) purposes.

(3)    A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for nonresidential uses.

(4)    For the purpose of determining the allowable number of units, portions of legal lots that are submerged lands or tidelands shall be included in land area of the site.

(5)    Portions of legal lots that are submerged lands or tidelands shall be included in the net area of the lot for the purpose of calculating the allowable floor area of structures.

(6)    The minimum density may be modified or waived through the approval of a site development review. The review authority may only waive or modify the minimum density upon making the finding that the subject property contains unique site constraints that prevent the project from complying with this standard.
