Revise the uses subject to a <br />conditional use permit sections of the <br />Community Commercial (C1), <br />Community Commercial—Museum <br />District (C1-MD), General <br />Commercial (C2), Planned Shopping <br />Center (C4), Arterial Commercial <br />(C5), and South Main Street <br />Commercial District (C-SM) to <br />require a conditional use permit for <br />massage establishments. <br />2. Revise massage ordinance (Sec. 41- <br />1752) to require conditional use for <br />massage establishments. <br />3. Revise massage ordinance <br />definitions (Sec. 41-1751) to create <br />distinct definitions for chair massage <br />and ancillary massage <br />establishment, allowing them to be <br />regulated separately from massage <br />establishments. <br />Medical Offices in <br />the Professional <br />Zoning District <br />The Professional (P) zoning district <br />permits medical and dental offices by <br />right. However, the zoning district does <br />not currently permit medical uses <br />operated by government, government- <br />subsidized, not-for-profit, or <br />philanthropic entities. <br />Revise the uses permitted subject to a <br />conditional use permit section of the <br />Professional (P) zoning district to require <br />a conditional use permit for medical <br />offices operated by government, <br />government-subsidized, not-for-profit, or <br />philanthropic entities. <br />Retail Use in <br />Industrial Zoning <br />Districts <br />Industrial zoning districts currently <br />allow retail uses occupying up to five <br />percent of a tenant space as an <br />ancillary use (Sec. 41-472.1). <br />Update the uses permitted section in the <br />Light Industrial (M1) district to allow retail <br />uses by right on properties that front <br />arterial streets (Sec. 41-472). <br />Change of Use <br />Parking Exceptions <br />The SAMC (Sec. 41-1309.1) permits <br />change of use in tenant spaces under <br />two thousand five hundred (2,500) <br />square feet without requiring additional <br />parking and loading spaces. <br />Update the Zoning Code to extend <br />change of use parking exception to <br />industrial properties along arterial streets <br />when converted to retail if retail <br />component is equal to or less than 50 <br />percent the gross square footage of the <br />tenant space (Sec. 41-1309.1). <br />Trash Bin <br />Enclosures <br />The SAMC (Sec. 41-623) provides <br />trash bin enclosure standards. <br />However, standards have not been <br />updated in some time and no longer <br />align with changes to state law related <br />to waste collection. <br />Update the trash enclosure standards to <br />align with CalGreen and SB 1383 <br />requirements and provide use and <br />maintenance standards (Sec. 41-623). <br />Urban Lot Splits and <br />Two-Unit <br />Developments (SB <br />9) <br />The City adopted its Urban Lot Split <br />and Two-Unit Development standards <br />(Sec. 41-2105 et seq.) in December of <br />2021 in response to California Senate <br />Bill 9, the California Housing <br />Provide clarity on the number of units <br />and affordability level required for each <br />type of project/product.
