Title
CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 21-2120, AMENDING THE PERMITTED USE DESIGNATIONS AND NONCONFORMING USE PROVISIONS OF THE CARSON ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING INDUSTRIAL USES INVOLVING CALARP SUBSTANCES AND REGULATED AND NONREGULATED MATERIALS (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is for the Council to consider an ordinance pursuant to recommendation of the Planning Commission, which would amend the City's Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 1 of Article IX of the CMC) to:
(1) Prohibit new industrial land uses involving CalARP Regulated Substances (Exhibit No. 5; herein, "CalARP Substances");
(2) Impose a conditional use permit requirement for new industrial land uses involving materials that are regulated under State hazardous material regulations, unless such uses are prohibited by the aforementioned CalARP prohibition or an existing prohibition of the City's Zoning Ordinance (Exhibit No. 6; herein, "Regulated Materials");
(3) Establish a program that would enable lawfully-established existing industrial uses involving CalARP Substances or Regulated Materials to continue operating without running of any amortization period for termination of a nonconforming use so long as they maintain a Director permit requiring specified disclosures and inspections; and
(4) Expand the list of categories of materials that are automatically permitted for indoor storage in the industrial zones to include various categories of non-Regulated Materials that are currently automatically permitted for manufacturing uses in said zones and provide that any outdoor storage of such materials is subject to Director approval to ensure that such uses will not have adverse effects constituting or resembling public nuisance conditions or violations of the CMC related to the accumulation of trash, litter, refuse, rubbish, junk, debris, or waste materials.
