§ 18.44.030. Applicability—Development plan review.

In the GI district:

A.

The standards set forth in this chapter, in this title, and in any relevant specific plan, shall be applicable to the development of any property located within the GI district. If a parcel proposed to be developed is subject to a specific plan and that specific plan contains development standards that are inconsistent with or are in addition to the standards established by this chapter or in this title, such additional or inconsistent development standards contained in the specific plan shall control.

B.

On sites with mixed industrial and commercial uses, industrial design criteria and development standards shall apply to industrial uses and commercial design and development criteria shall apply to commercial uses. Where the mixed industrial and commercial uses are in the same structure, the more restrictive regulations shall apply.

C.

Development plans for all parcels shall be subject to review by the approving officer or body. Said review shall be based upon the pertinent development and performance standards set forth in this chapter. Any development plan submitted including, but not limited to, the required landscape plan shall demonstrate that all pertinent development standards contained in this chapter have been met.

D.

Site grading and disturbance shall be minimized.

E.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all front yard setbacks are to be measured from the street or highway right-of-way line. All other setbacks are to be measured from the property line of the parcel.

F.

Expansions of pre-existing uses which are conforming as to use but not as to the required development standards shall only be permitted if the development standards set forth in Sections 18.44.080, 18.44.090 and 18.44.110 can be met; provided, however, that the front yard landscaping requirement established by subsection (A) of Section 18.44.110 need not be met to the extent compliance would require the removal of a portion of an existing structure, the construction of which required the issuance of a building permit.
