ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) April 1, 2025 Page 13 4 9 1 1 Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: •Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories •Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards for Permitted Uses SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (automobile repair, automobile service, business support services, craft and specialized automotive restoration service, pet day care facility and trade school), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41- 2006. Analysis of the Issues The proposed amendments to the Sections of the TZC under the topic headings of Application of Article, Organization, Application for Discretionary Approvals, and Definitions are largely to ensure internal consistency related to the more substantive changes being proposed for the TZC to address irreconcilable land use conflicts, described as follows: •Nonconforming Structures and Uses - Section 41-2002 regulates the nonconforming building, structure or use specifically within the TZC. The regulations are unique to City Council 22 – 13 4/1/2025
