§ 18.40.010. Intent of classification.

The purpose of the IP zoning district is to provide areas exclusively for modern, non-nuisance light industrial and office uses which are compatible both with each other and with the adjoining nonindustrial areas including, but not limited to, the Napa County Airport, the Highway 29 corridor, and surrounding agricultural and open space areas, and which have no significant potential for major pollution, adverse visual impacts, or nuisance or hazard factors. Land uses in these areas are subject to special performance standards to ensure harmonious, unified and cohesive development. Vacant parcels are subject to lot size restrictions to ensure that opportunities for large-site business/industrial park developments will not be lost through premature subdivision into small parcels.

The industrial park zoning use designation is intended to attract development of a higher standard with respect to building design, on-site amenities, standards of acceptable use and off-site improvement requirements. The designation is intended to accommodate light industrial uses such as office research and development, light manufacturing, light assembly, warehousing and distribution, large administrative headquarters and other professional and administrative uses. This designation allows the implementation of special requirements for common improvements, site and building design, landscaping, signage, off-street parking, noise control, and outdoor storage.
