Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) prepared
Consistency with General Plan Land Use Designation
•The project site has a Light Industrial land use designation.
•Permitted uses for properties designated as Light Industrial include those uses that
can be made compatible with other surrounding uses within the City regarding
noise, dust, odors, vibration, glare, air quality, traffic, aesthetics, and hazardous
materials. Typical uses may include light manufacturing and assembly, small scale
warehousing and distribution, research and development, and administrative and
service types of uses (LU Element, Table 2.3)
Finding: The project is permitted by right and is consistent with the City’s General
Plan land use designation.
Consistency with Zoning
•The project site is within Restricted Manufacturing (MR) zone
•Purpose of the MR district is to provide for the development of low intensity and low
impact light manufacturing and industrial uses. The regulations of this district are
intended to allow various manufacturing and industrial uses which operate free of
objectionable noise, dust, odor or other nuisances to other (nonindustrial uses) in
planned architecturally integrated building groups.
•MR district allows for:
Low intensity/impact light manufacturing
Industrial uses
Manufacturing,light facilities
Finding: The project is consistent with the uses allowed within the MR zone.
