§ 17.225.010. Purposes of the Industrial Zones. ¶

The purposes of the individual industrial zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:

A. BP (Business Park) Zone. The BP Zone is applied to areas appropriate for single-tenant and multi-tenant offices that include corporate headquarters, research and development, product development, and general business uses customarily situated on large parcels in a campus park like setting. Uses allowed in this zone may also include small convenience or service commercial activities intended to meet the needs of the onsite employee population. Other uses that are determined to be compatible with primary uses may also be allowed. This zone allows a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.0 The BP Zone is consistent with the Business Park land use designation of the General Plan.
B. IL (Industrial Light) Zone. The IL Zone is applied to areas appropriate for light industry and manufacturing and heavier commercial servicetype uses whose proximity to major arterial highways is essential or desirable for their operation due to the large volumes of vehicle and truck traffic that they generate. Uses allowed in this zone may include general manufacturing uses, auto repair services, pest control services, pool maintenance services, and woodworking shops. This zone allows a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.50. The IL Zone is consistent with the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan.
C. IH (Industrial Heavy) Zone. The IH Zone is applied to areas appropriate for a variety of low polluting and nonpolluting industrial and manufacturing activities, including limited regional and subregional commercial activities that are nonpolluting and can coexist compatibly with surrounding land uses. Uses allowed in this zone may include research and development; manufacturing and processing; large singletenant distribution and sales; boat, recreational vehicle, and truck repair; offices; warehousing and indoor storage; and high technology production. Other uses that are determined to be compatible with primary uses may also be allowed. This zone allows a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.50. The IH Zone is compatible with the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan.
