Article 5. Use

Part 5A. Introduction

Div. 5A.1. Orientation

Sec. 5A.1.1. Relationship to Zone String

A zone string is composed of the following Districts:

The Use District is a separate and independent component of each zone.

Sec. 5A.1.2. How to Use Article 5. (Use)

  1. Identify the Applicable Use District

    The fourth component in a zone string identifies the Use District applied to a property.

  2. Determine What Uses are Permitted
    1. Reference the Use District Table

      The Use District table in Part 5B. (Use Districts) identifies the uses permitted in a district, as well as their standards and limitations. The Use District table is organized into four columns. The first column, titled "Use", lists the use, to which a permission level and applicable standards, if any, are assigned in the subsequent table columns to the right. The second column, titled "Permission", lists the permission level applied to the use. The third column, titled "Use Standard" includes any applicable standards regulating the use, and the fourth column, titled "Specification", includes additional specifications establishing the parameters or details for the applicable standards.

    2. Reference the Use Permissions

      Permission levels are outlined in Div.5A.3. (Use Permissions), and a key is also included in the footer of each page of the Use District table for each Use District.

    3. Reference the Use Definitions

      Refer to Part 5D. (Use Definitions) to confirm the definition of any use listed in each Use District. Text in italics below a heading provides a definition of that heading.

  3. Identify Use District Rules
    1. Use District rules are outlined in Part. 5C. (Use Rules). The use standard column in each Use District page identifies the applicable rules, if any, specific to each use within that Use District. The specification column identifies the details or parameters for the applicable general use standard, supplemental use standard, supplemental use finding, or special use program, if any. Any supplemental use standard or findings or standards applicable to the use can be found in the code Section referenced in the Specification column. General use standards are provided in Sec. 5C.1. (General Use Standards), Supplemental use standards and findings are provided in Sec. 5C.2. (Supplemental Use Standards & Findings), and special use programs are provided in Sec. 5C.3. (Special Use Programs).

    2. Some general use standards apply to an entire use category. When this is the case, the general standard is listed in the row below the use category heading (see, e.g., Light Industrial use category in the Industrial Use Districts.). If the general use standard reads "Use standard applicability" that standard only applies if the specification criteria listed below “Use standard applicability” is met (e.g., "Adjoining lot" in the use standard column and "Sensitive use, Residential, Residential-Mix, or Agricultural Use District" listed in the specification column, means the standards listed below only apply when the lot adjoins a lot within a residential, residential-mix, or agricultural use district).

    3. Identify General Use Standards

      Every general use standard on a Use District page in Part 5B. (Use Districts) corresponds with a Section in Div. 5C.1. (General Use Standards), where the use standard is explained in detail.

    4. Identify Supplemental Standards

      The Use District table identifies required supplemental standards, if any. The required supplemental standards for a use are established in Div. 5C.2. (Supplemental Use Standards & Findings).

    5. Identify Supplemental Findings

      The Use District table identifies required supplemental findings, if any. The required supplemental findings for a use are established in Div. 5C.2. (Supplemental Use Standards & Findings).

    6. Relief From Use Standard

      When “relief” is provided within the standard column in the Use District table, the specified relief option is from the standard(s) shown indented directly above the word "relief." Where multiple standards are shown indented, relief is available for each of those standards. Relief from a general use standard in Division 5C.1. (General Use Standards) may also be allowed if a relief process is indicated in the relief subsection of the standard.


Sec. 5A.1.3. Use District Naming Convention

All Use District names are comprised of two components: a use category and a variation number.

  1. Use District Category

    The first component of each Use District name is a use category. A use category groups all districts with similar characteristics. The use categories are organized as follows:

    1. Open Space (OS)

    2. Agricultural (A)

    3. Residential (RG)

    4. Residential-Mixed (RX)

    5. Commercial-Mixed (CX)

    6. Industrial-Mixed (IX)

    7. Industrial (I)

    8. Public (P)

  2. Variation Number

    The last component of each Use District name is a variation number. All Use Districts are numbered in the order they fall within this Article (Use).

Div. 5A.2. General Rules

Sec. 5A.2.1. Use Intent

The intent of this Article (Use) is to establish the Use Districts, use standards, and use definitions in order to regulate the activities on a lot, and to mitigate any potential impacts within a lot and on surrounding property as a result of those activities, to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

Sec. 5A.2.2. Use Applicability

  1. General
    1. Most lots, operations, and facilities will contain more than one use. Where more than one use occurs on the same lot or in the same operation or facility:

      1. Allowed uses are specified by the applicable Use District in accordance with Div. 5A.3. (Use Permissions), and combinations of allowed uses are also permitted. Certain uses are allowed only as accessory to (pursuant to Sec. 5C.1.1.), incidental to (pursuant to Sec. 5C.1.2.), or in conjunction with (pursuant to Sec. 5C.1.3.) another use.

      2. If all proposed uses are permitted by the applied Use District, but there are conflicts between the required use standards, the most restrictive of the use standards shall prevail, including where multiple uses overlap on the same portion of a lot or portion of a building.

    2. All projects filed after the effective date of this Zoning Code (Chapter 1A) shall comply with the Use District standards and all other provisions in this Article (Use), as further specified below. For vested rights, see Sec. 1.4.5. (Vested Rights), and for continuance of existing development, see Sec. 1.4.6. (Continuance of Existing Development).

  2. Applicable Components of Lots, Buildings, & Structures
    1. Unless otherwise provided, use regulations apply to all portions of a lot.

    2. Unless otherwise provided, use regulations apply to all portions of buildings and structures on a lot.

    3. Specific use regulations may further limit which components of buildings and lots are required to comply with Part 5C. (Use Rules).

  3. Nonconformity

    Article 12. (Nonconformities) provides relief from the requirements of this Article (Use) for existing lots, site improvements, buildings, structures, and uses that conformed to the zoning regulations at the time they were established, but do not conform to current Use District standards or permission levels. For lots with nonconforming uses as to the provisions of Div. 5A.3. (Use Permissions), Div. 5C.1. (General Use Standards), or Part 5D. (Use Definitions) specified by the applied Use District (Part 5B.), no project activity may decrease the conformance with any regulations specified in this Article (Use), unless otherwise specified by Div. 12.5.(Use Exceptions).

Sec. 5A.2.3. Relationship to Form, Frontage, & Development Standards

Regardless of allowed uses, the form of a building, its architectural elements, and site improvements are regulated by, and shall comply with the standards in Form Districts (Part 2B.), Frontage Districts (Part 3B.), and Development Standards Districts (Part 4B.). For example, an eating & drinking use might be allowed, but the Development Standard District regulations may prohibit drive-through facilities.

Sec. 5A.2.4. Relationship to Density Districts

Use Districts that contain provisions for residential uses do not include regulations regarding the number of dwelling units that are permitted. The Density District (Part 6B.) component of the zone string, as described in Article 6. (Density), is the mechanism that regulates the number of dwelling units permitted on any lot.

Div. 5A.3. Use Permissions

Sec. 5A.3.1. General

Use permission levels set out in each Use District table indicate how a use is permitted within the district. Permission levels range from permitted without requiring conformance to any additional standards or conditions of approval, permitted only when specific standards are met, or permitted only through a process requiring approval by a decision maker or decision-making body. Permission levels may be assigned to individual uses, use groups, or entire use categories. Permission levels are represented within each Use District table using symbols that indicate which permission level is assigned to a particular use, or use category. The following Sections summarize the meaning of each permission level.

Sec. 5A.3.2. Permitted (P)

A use that is permitted without requiring conformance to specific standards is indicated in the Use District table by the letter P.

Sec. 5A.3.3. Use Standard Applies (*)

A use that is permitted only when conforming to a specific set of standards is indicated in the Use District table by the asterisk (*) symbol in combination with the underlying permission level. Any permission level may be combined with an * to cross-reference a specific set of general use standards, supplemental standards, or supplemental findings, that shall be applied. General use standards, supplemental standards, or supplemental findings indicated by the presence of an * are important for ensuring that a use exists and operates in a manner that is consistent with the intent of the Use District.

Sec. 5A.3.4. Conditional Uses (CU1, CU2 & CU3)

A use that requires approval by an authority or decision-making body with input from the members of the public who may be affected by the existence of that use. The use may be approved under certain conditions that address potential issues the use may introduce to its surroundings. Uses that may require specific conditions of approval applied through a discretionary process are indicated within the Use District tables by the following permission levels: CU1, CU2, and CU3, as described below.

  1. Class 1 Conditional Use (CU1)

    A CU1 permission level indicates that a Class 1 Conditional Use Permit shall be obtained through approval granted by the Zoning Administrator in accordance with the processes and procedures described in Sec. 13B.2.1. (Class 1 Conditional Use Permit).

  2. Class 2 Conditional Use (CU2)

    A CU2 permission level indicates that a Class 2 Conditional Use Permit shall be obtained through approval granted by the Zoning Administrator in accordance with the processes and procedures described in Sec. 13B.2.2. (Class 2 Conditional Use Permit).

  3. Class 3 Conditional Use (CU3)

    A CU3 permission level indicates that a Class 3 Conditional Use Permit shall be obtained through approval granted by the City Planning Commission in accordance with the processes and procedures described in Sec. 13B.2.3. (Class 3 Conditional Use Permit).

Sec. 5A.3.5. Special Use Program (S)

A use that is permitted as established by, and in conformance with an applied Special Use Program is indicated in the Use District table by the letter S. Special Use Program uses are subject to the use permission levels and are considered generally appropriate within a Use District when in compliance with the applied Special Use Program to achieve a certain performance outcome or to moderate potential effects a use may have on its surroundings.

Sec. 5A.3.6. Dependent on Adjoining Zoning (A- & A+)

When an A- or A+ permission level is indicated the use shall assume the same use permissions, use standards, supplemental standards, and any supplemental procedures required by a Use District applied to the zoning of an adjoining lot.

  1. Dependent on Most Restrictive Adjoining Zone (A-)
    1. Uses assigned an A- permission level are regulated as follows:

      1. The subject use shall be permitted, restricted, or disallowed according to the most restrictive set of use permissions, use standards, supplemental standards, and supplemental procedures applied to the same use by the Use District of any adjoining lot.

      2. Only joint public and private developments that are approved in accordance with the processes and procedures described in Sec. 13B.2.5. (Director Determination) and satisfying the finding requirements in Div. 5C.2. (Supplemental Use Standards & Findings) shall be permitted when a use is assigned an A- permission level. No solely private developments are permitted when a use is assigned an A- permission level.

  2. Dependent on Most Permissive Adjoining Zone (A+)
    1. The subject use shall be permitted, restricted, or disallowed according to the most permissive set of use permissions, use standards, supplemental standards, and supplemental procedures applied to the same use by the Use District of any adjoining lot.

      1. Only joint public and private developments that are approved in accordance with the processes and procedures described in Sec. 13B.2.5. (Director Determination) shall be permitted when a use is assigned an A+ permission level. No solely private developments are permitted when a use is assigned an A+ permission level.

  3. Special Findings for Adjoining Zoning (A- & A+)
    1. Regardless of Subsection A (Dependent on Most Restrictive Adjoining Zoning (A-)), when an A- permission level is indicated, any use that is not permitted by the most restrictive use permission applied to the same use by the Use District of any adjoining lot may be permitted by a Class 3 Conditional Use Permit. In addition to the other findings required by Sec. 13B.2.3. (Class 3 Conditional Use Permit), the City Planning Commission shall also find:

      1. The use provides a public benefit as a result of increased tax revenue or the provision of public facilities; and

      2. The benefit of the project providing the use is sufficient to outweigh any potential detriment to the public interest created by the proposed use of the land.

    2. Regardless of Subsection B (Dependent on Most Permissive Adjoining Zoning (A+)), when an A+ permission level is indicated, any use that is not permitted in the most permissive use permission applied to the same use by the Use District of any adjoining lot may be permitted by a Class 3 Conditional Use Permit. In addition to the other findings required by Sec. 13B.2.3. (Class 3 Conditional Use Permit), the City Planning Commission shall also find:

      1. The use provides a public benefit as a result of increased tax revenue or the provision of public facilities; and

      2. The benefit of the project providing the use is sufficient to outweigh any potential detriment to the public interest created by the proposed use of the land.

Sec. 5A.3.7. Not Permitted (--)

When a double-dash line (--) is indicated as the permission level for a use, the use is not permitted. A -- permission level signifies that under no circumstances shall the use be allowed to be established in the Use District.

Part 5B. Use Districts

Div. 5B.1. Open Space Use Districts

Open Space Use Districts regulate open spaces to be preserved as natural resources or used for outdoor recreation opportunities.

Sec. 5B.1.1. Open Space 1 (OS1)

  1. Intent

    The OS1 Use District is intended to protect and preserve natural resources, provide outdoor recreation opportunities, and facilitate the efficient management of municipal resources.

Part 5C. Use Rules

Div. 5C.1. General Use Standards

Sec. 5C.1.1. Accessory To

  1. Intent

    The intent of the standards of this Section (Accessory To) is to allow an accessory use to complement a primary use by limiting its scale in proportion to the primary use, thereby ensuring that the accessory use does not undermine the mix of primary uses that the Use District is intended to accommodate.

  2. Applicability

    This Section (Accessory To) applies to new construction, a major remodel, a lot modification, a use modification, or a renovation when the applied Use District (Part 5B.) includes "Accessory to" in the Use Standard column of the Use District table.

  3. Standards

    The proposed use shall be accessory to the use identified in the Specification column in the Use District table and comply with all of the following:

    1. Accessory uses are only allowed when provided on the same lot or within the same building as the primary use.

    2. The floor area of the accessory use shall not exceed 25 percent of the floor area designated for the primary use.

    3. For outdoor uses located at-grade, the total lot coverage occupied by the accessory use shall not exceed 25 percent of the lot coverage occupied by the primary use. In instances where the accessory use is located outdoors and the primary use is within a building, the lot coverage of the accessory use shall not exceed 25 percent of the building coverage area occupied by the primary use.

    4. Where there are conflicts between the use standards required for the accessory use and the primary use, the most restrictive of the use standards shall prevail.

  4. Measurement
    1. For measuring floor area, see Sec. 14.2.7. (Floor Area).

    2. The maximum floor area allowed for an accessory use is calculated by multiplying the total floor area occupied by the primary use by 25 percent.

    3. Lot coverage is measured by dividing the total at-grade surface area occupied by a use by the total lot area.

    4. The maximum lot coverage allowed for an accessory use is calculated by multiplying the total lot coverage occupied by the primary use by 25 percent

    5. Where the accessory use is located outdoors and the primary use is within a building, the maximum lot coverage allowed for an accessory use is calculated by multiplying the total building footprint occupied by the primary use by 25 percent.

  5. Relief
    1. A 20 percent or less square footage increase for the allowable accessory use may be granted in accordance with Sec. 13B.5.2. (Adjustment).

    2. See the Use Standard column in the Use District table for relief options pursuant to Sec. 5A.1.2.C.6. (Relief from Use Standard).

Sec. 5C.1.2. Incidental To

  1. Intent

    The intent of the standards of this Section (Incidental To) is to allow an incidental use to complement a primary use in limited scale, to ensure that the incidental use does not undermine the mix of primary uses that the Use District is intended to accommodate.

    2. The floor area of the incidental use shall not exceed the floor area designated for the primary use.

    3. For outdoor uses located at-grade, the total lot coverage occupied by incidental use shall not exceed the lot coverage occupied by the primary use. In instances where the incidental use is located outdoors and the primary use is within a building, the lot coverage of the incidental use shall not exceed the building coverage area occupied by the specified primary use.

    4. Where there are conflicts between the use standards required for the incidental use and primary use, the most restrictive of the use standards shall prevail.

  4. Measurement
    1. For measuring floor area, see Sec. 14.2.7. (Floor Area).

    2. The maximum floor area allowed for an incidental use is calculated by determining the total floor area designated for the primary use.

    3. Lot coverage is measured by dividing the total at-grade surface area occupied by a use by the total lot area.

    4. The maximum lot coverage allowed for an incidental use is calculated by determining the total lot coverage occupied by the primary use.

    5. Where the incidental use is located outdoors and the primary use is within a building, the maximum lot coverage allowed for an incidental use is calculated by determining the total building footprint occupied by the primary use.

  5. Relief

    See the Use Standard column in the Use District table for relief options pursuant to Sec. 5A.1.2.C.6. (Relief from Use Standard).

Sec. 5C.1.3. In Conjunction With

  1. Intent

When a Use District table includes a “Minimum area” requirement in the Use Standard column, the proposed use shall only be allowed when the specified use is provided with dedicated floor area that meets or exceeds the minimum floor area ratio cited in the Use District table's Specification column.

    4. Where there are conflicts between the use standards of the specified use and the proposed use, the most restrictive of the use standards shall prevail.

  4. Measurement
    1. A use shall be measured as in conjunction with another use when both uses are present concurrently on the same lot, within the same building, or within the same unified development.

    2. The minimum area that is required to be dedicated for a use is calculated by multiplying the total lot area or cumulative site area by the floor area ratio specified in the Use District table's Specification column.

      1. For measuring floor area, see Sec. 14.2.7. (Floor Area).

      2. For calculating the total lot area, see Sec. 2C.1.1. (Lot Area).

      3. Cumulative site area shall be calculated by determining the total square footage of all land area within a unified development.

  5. Relief

    2. See the Use Standard column in the Use District table for relief options pursuant to Sec. 5A.1.2.C.6. (Relief from Use Standard).

Sec. 5C.1.4. Size

  1. Intent

    The intent of the standards of this Section (Size) is to allow a proposed use while ensuring the scale of the use is compatible with the overall mix of uses that the Use District is intended to accommodate.

  2. Applicability

    This Section (Size) applies to new construction, a major remodel, a use modification, or a renovation when the applied Use District (Part 5B.) includes "Size" in the Use Standard column of the Use District table.

  3. Standards
    1. Size, Entire Use

      Where the Use District Table specifies "Size, entire use", uses limited to a specified size for the entire use are allowed only when the total area dedicated to the proposed use on a lot is less than or equal to the size maximum specified in the Use District table.

    2. Size, Tenant Space

      Where the Use District Table specifies "Size, tenant space", uses limited to a specified size per tenant space are allowed only when the ground floor area of an individual tenant space dedicated to the proposed use is less than or equal to the size maximum specified in the Use District table.

      1. Multiple tenant spaces dedicated to the same subject use may be allowed on the same lot or within the same building, provided that each tenant space is less than or equal to the size maximum specified in the Use District table.

      2. Upper story floor area is exempt from tenant space size limits.

    3. Size, Dwelling Unit Average

      Where the Use District Table specifies "Size, dwelling unit average", dwelling uses required to conform to an average unit size are allowed only when the average floor area provided to dwelling units within the same building is equal to or greater than the average size specified in the Use District table.

  4. Measurement
    1. Size, Entire Use

      The size of an entire use shall be measured by calculating the cumulative area dedicated to the proposed use on a single lot.

      1. For uses located within a building, the total floor area shall be used to determine cumulative area.

      2. For uses not located within a building, the total square footage shall be used to determine cumulative area.

    2. Size, Tenant Space

      The size of a tenant space shall be measured by calculating the floor area dedicated to the proposed use that meets the following criteria:

      1. Is located on the ground story of a building;

      2. Has a dedicated entrance, not shared with any other tenant space;

      3. Has no direct connections to another tenant space sharing a wall with the tenant space dedicated to the proposed use;

      4. Is not inclusive of common corridors and shared restrooms intended for all tenants of a building.

    3. Size, Dwelling Unit Average

      The average dwelling unit size shall be measured by determining the total floor area dedicated to dwelling units within a building; then dividing the total floor area allocated to dwelling units by the total number of dwelling units within the building. The result will be the average dwelling unit size.

    4. For measuring floor area, see Sec. 14.2.7. (Floor Area).

  5. Relief
    1. A 20 percent or less increase in the maximum size specified by the Use District may be granted in accordance with Sec. 13B.5.2. (Adjustment).

(Procedures) below.

    1. In-Lieu Fee

      The affordability provisions of this program may be satisfied by the payment of an in lieu fee to the City in lieu of constructing the restricted affordable units within the inclusionary housing project. The fee is due and payable to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, established in Chapter 122. (Affordable Housing Trust Fund), Div. 5. (Finance) of the LAAC at the time of and in no event later than issuance of the first building permit, concurrent with and proportional to project phases. The developer may defer payment of all or a portion of the in lieu fee until, but no later than issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, by payment of a deferral surcharge, as established in Paragraph d. (Deferral Surcharge), below, with the in lieu fee. The in lieu fee shall be determined by the City based on the following:

      1. Fee

        The amount of the in lieu fee shall be determined by the number of dwelling units equivalent to 1.1 times the required number of on-site restricted affordable units for the inclusionary housing project, in the same proportion of affordability, multiplied by the applicable affordability gap, as established in Paragraph b. (Affordability Gap) below.

      2. Affordability Gap

        The City shall identify the affordability gap for rental and ownership units of each bedroom size (studio, one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom) for each required affordability level supported by a study (affordability gap study) that considers the following:

        1. Rental Units

          For rental dwelling units, the study shall collect and determine, by unit type and affordability level, the following information from recently completed affordable housing projects funded by the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund: total development costs and operating expenses. The study shall also determine the amount of permanent financing available based on restricted rents and prevailing interest rates. The difference between the total development cost and permanent financing amount shall be the affordability gaps per unit by unit type and affordability level.

        2. For-Sale Units

          For for-sale dwelling units, the study shall identify the market median sales prices by unit type in the 34 Community Plan areas. It shall determine the restricted sales prices of for-sale units by unit type and affordability level. The difference between the market median sales price and the restricted sales price shall be the affordability gaps per unit by unit type and affordability level.

      3. Bi-Annual Fee Adjustment

        The City shall adjust the in lieu fee every two years, based on the results of a new affordability gap study. An affordability gap study, the proposed adjusted affordability gaps, and the adjusted fees shall be published within two years of the date that the original affordability gaps study is released, and consecutively thereafter by the date that is two years after the release of the previous affordability gaps study. If the City does not meet the deadline in this paragraph, the in lieu fee will remain set at the existing level until the provisions of this paragraph are met.

      4. Deferral Surcharge

        The deferral surcharge will be assessed at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 200 basis points at the time such fee is due, (at the issuance of the building permit). The deferral surcharge fee shall be deposited into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund established in Chapter 122. (Affordable Housing Trust Fund), Div. 5. (Finance) of the LAAC.

  5. Records & Agreements

    Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the following requirements shall be met.

A copy of the covenant shall be filed with the Department of City Planning and the Department of Building and Safety. The following are exempt from the 99 year covenant length:

      1. An inclusionary housing project in which 100 percent of all dwelling units, exclusive of a manager unit or units, are restricted affordable units, which are subject to a recorded affordability restriction of at least 55 years or utilize public subsidies that are tied to a specified covenant period. At minimum, all restricted affordable units in the inclusionary housing project shall be covenanted for at least 55 years; or

      2. A mixed-income inclusionary housing project utilizing public subsidies that are tied to a specified covenant period. At minimum, all restricted affordable units in the inclusionary housing project shall be covenanted for at least 55 years; or

      3. Inclusionary housing projects financed by low-income housing tax credits. At minimum, all restricted affordable units in the inclusionary housing project shall be covenanted for at least 55 years.

    2. Conflicts of Duration of Affordability Covenants

      If the duration of affordability covenants established in Paragraph 1. (Restricted Affordable Unit Covenants) above conflicts with the duration for any other government requirement, the longest duration controls.

    3. Right of Enforcement
