Division 3 ZONES

22.16.010 - Purpose.

A. General Purpose. The Agricultural, Open Space, Resort and Recreation, and Watershed Zones consist primarily of lands for agricultural uses or are in natural resource areas which limit dwellings and accessory uses. These zones provide areas for agricultural operations, open space, recreation, natural resource industries, or natural resource protection.

B. Purpose of Individual Zones. The purposes of individual zones are established as follows:

  1. Agricultural Zones. The Agricultural Zones (Zones A-1 and A-2) are established to permit a comprehensive range of agricultural uses in areas particularly suited for agricultural activities. Permitted uses are intended to encourage agricultural activities and other such uses required for, or desired by, the inhabitants of the community. An area so zoned may provide the land necessary to permit low-density single-family residential development, outdoor recreational uses, and public and institutional facilities.

  2. Open Space Zone. The Open Space Zone (Zone O-S) is established to provide for the preservation, maintenance, and enhancement of the recreational, natural, and environmental resources of this County as defined in the General Plan. The purpose and intent of Zone O-S is to:

    a. Provide for the continued availability of open space lands for outdoor recreational usage.

    b. Protect water resources by maintaining groundwater recharge and watershed areas.

    c. Protect ecological and habitat areas to assure the continued survival of wildlife and vegetation.

    d. Protect sites of historical, archaeological, scenic, or scientific value.

    e. Protect areas identified as having significant mineral resources to assure their continued availability, conservation, and production.

    f. Reduce the risk to public safety through protective management of seismic, flooding, erosion, fire, geologic, and other natural hazard areas.

    g. Protect areas used for the managed production of resources, including but not limited to rangeland and agricultural land.

  3. Resort and Recreation Zone. The Resort and Recreation Zone (Zone R-R) is established to provide for outdoor recreation and agricultural uses suitable for development without significant impairment to the resources of the area. Zone R-R also recognizes some single-family residences, additional recreation uses, and limited commercial and public service facilities, subject to review and conditions to protect natural scenic or recreational value.

  4. Watershed Zone. The Watershed Zone (Zone W) is established to provide for conservation of water and other natural resources within a watershed area and to protect areas subject to fire, flood, erosion, or similar hazards. Zone W also provides for limited recreational development of the land and necessary public facilities.

shall be sent to the Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer may approve the application only after the applicant substantiates the following findings:

a. That the use or buildings requested are clearly accessory and subordinate to, will not alter the nature of, and are limited to facilities compatible with the intent and purpose of Zone O-S on the property where proposed; and

b. That in a significant ecological area such placement will not contribute to the detriment of the resources constituting the basis for classification as a significant ecological area.

  1. Fences. In Zone O-S, fences shall require a Ministerial Site Plan Review (Chapter 22.186) application and shall be subject to the following standards:

    a. Fences shall not exceed eight feet in height except where a higher fence is required by other ordinance or law.

22.18.010 - Purpose.

A. General Purpose. Residential Zones preserve, protect, and enhance areas for residential land uses in a range of densities; provide for orderly, well-planned, and balanced growth of residential neighborhoods; and ensure adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling. These zones also provide for the appropriate location of public and semi-public uses such as schools, parks, and religious facilities that can serve and complement residential uses.

B. Purpose of Individual Zones. The purposes of individual zones are established as follows:

  1. High Density Multiple Residence Zone. The High Density Multiple Residence Zone (Zone R-5) implements the H100 and H150 land use designations in areas of the County mapped as such in the General Plan. Zone R-5 provides for areas that allow for maximum density residential development and all types of multifamily housing up to 150 units per net acre.

  2. Residential Planned Development Zone. The Residential Planned Development Zone (Zone RPD) is established to promote residential amenities beyond those expected under conventional development, to achieve greater flexibility in design, to encourage well-planned neighborhoods through creative and imaginative planning, and to provide for appropriate use of land which is sufficiently unique in its physical characteristics or other circumstances to warrant special methods of development. In implementing residential planned development, it is further declared that the purpose of Zone RPD is to reduce developmental problems in hillside areas and to preserve areas of natural scenic beauty through the encouragement of integrated planning, integrated design, and unified control of development.

2. Density#

When property in Zone RPD is developed as a planned residential development, pursuant to Subsection A.2, above, the letter "U," where used as a suffix to a zoning symbol, in combination with a numeral, shall designate the maximum density, not including dwelling units permitted by a density bonus awarded by any provisions in this Title 22, in terms of units per net acre.

3. Type of Buildings or Structures#

a.#

Dwelling units may be in single-family, detached two-family, or multiple-family residential buildings, or they may be mobilehomes, manufactured homes or factory-built houses as defined in the California Health and Safety Code, depending upon adjacent development and the compensating features of the development plan.

b.#

The Commission or Hearing Officer may approve places of public assembly, recreational buildings and accessory buildings if such facilities are for the primary use of persons residing within the proposed planned development and located so as not to be detrimental to adjacent properties. Distance between buildings shall not be less than 10 feet for one-story and two-story buildings, plus two additional feet for each story above the second.

c.#

The Commission or Hearing Officer, in considering placement and type of buildings, may modify or require a greater depth for yards than would be required if developed as provided in Subsection A.1, above. Provisions regarding yards and distances between buildings shall not apply to mobilehomes within mobilehome parks.

4. Open Space#

a. Minimum Area#

Open space shall comprise not less than 30 percent of the net area. The Commission or Hearing Officer may modify this requirement if the applicant submits evidence to the satisfaction of the Commission or Hearing Officer that the particular development will contain compensatory characteristics which will provide as well as or better for planned unit development within the intent of this Section.

b. Open Space Types#

Subject to the approval of the Commission or Hearing Officer, open space may include one or more of the following, designated for the use and enjoyment of all of the occupants of the planned residential development or appropriate phase thereof:

i.#

Common open space developed for recreational purposes;

ii.#

Areas of scenic or natural beauty forming a portion of the proposed development;

iii.#

Present or future recreational areas of a noncommercial nature, including parks, playgrounds, and beaches. Where specifically approved by the Commission or Hearing Officer, green fees or similar charges related to use of a golf course or similar open recreational use may be permitted, provided such charges are incidental to operation of said facilities, are not primarily commercial in nature, and do not alter the character of said recreational facility;

iv.#

Present or future hiking, riding, or bicycling trails;

v.#

Landscaped portions adjacent to streets or highways which are in excess of minimum required rights-of-way; or

vi.#

Other similar areas determined appropriate by the Commission or Hearing Officer.

c. Factors for Review#

In approving said open space, the Commission or Hearing Officer shall give consideration to the project to be developed, the characteristics of such open space, the manner in which the open space is to be improved and maintained, and other information as the Commission or Hearing Officer deems pertinent.

d. Dedication and Maintenance of Required Open Space#

Reservation of open space shall be made a condition of approval. Such reservation shall be by public dedication, establishment of a maintenance district, common ownership, or other satisfactory means to ensure

the permanent reservation of, and where appropriate perpetual maintenance of, required open space.

e.

Distribution of Open Space. Planned development projects developed in phases shall be designated so that each successive phase will contain open space to independently meet the standards of this Subsection C.4, provided that:

i.

Where the applicant submits development plans indicating to the satisfaction of the Commission or Hearing Officer that the proposed development will provide as well or better for planned unit development within the intent of this Section, the Commission or Hearing Officer may approve a division of open space encompassing more than one phase; and

ii.

Where a division of open space will encompass more than one phase, the applicant shall provide the Commission or Hearing Officer with a map indicating cumulative allocation and utilization of open space for each successive phase in each subsequent application.

Building Coverage. Buildings shall not occupy more than 50 percent of the net area, except that common recreational buildings are excluded from this building coverage limitation.

Parking. The provisions of Section 22.112.070 (Required Parking Spaces), which specify the number and location of required parking spaces relating to dwelling units, places of public assembly and other recreational uses shall not apply when property in Zone RPD is developed pursuant to Subsection A.2, above. In approving a Conditional Use Permit (Chapter 22.158) application for a planned residential development, the Commission or Hearing Officer shall require automobile parking for such uses in an amount adequate to prevent traffic congestion and excessive on-street parking; provided that in no event shall less than one covered parking space per dwelling unit, or less than 50 percent of the required number of parking spaces for public assembly or recreational uses specified in Section 22.112.070 be permitted. Where the Commission or Hearing Officer does not specifically designate such parking requirements, the requirements of Section 22.112.070 shall be deemed to have been specified.

Utilities. The applicant shall submit to the Commission or Hearing Officer, and it shall be made a condition of approval, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has made arrangements with the serving utilities to install underground all new facilities necessary to furnish service in the development.§ This requirement may be waived where it would cause undue hardship or constitute an unreasonable requirement.

Landscaping. A site plan for landscaping of all open areas, where appropriate, shall be submitted to and approved by the Commission or Hearing Officer.

D.

Development Schedule. The Commission or Hearing Officer shall approve a progress schedule indicating the development of open space related to the construction of residential dwelling units, which shall become a condition of approval. Where development is to be completed in phases, the said development may, with the approval of the Commission or Hearing Officer, be coordinated between phases as approved in Subsection C.4.e, above. The Commission or Hearing Officer may modify, without a hearing, this condition pertaining to the development schedule based upon an affirmative showing, in writing, of hardship.

E.

Tentative Division of Land Map. A tentative map shall be filed when required by Title 21 (Subdivisions) of the County Code. Where a tentative map is not required, the application shall require a site plan indicating the precise location, width and type of improvements for private or public streets and pedestrian walks.

F.

F. Division of Lots.#

In addition to a tentative division of land map when required by Title 21 (Subdivisions) of the County Code, where lots are to be sold or separated in ownership from other property in the development, or applicable phase thereof, a map shall be submitted to the Commission or Hearing Officer, indicating the proposed boundaries of the lots to be sold or separated in ownership. Where the proposed division would create one or more lots having an area of less than that specified if developed as provided in Subsection A.1, above, said map shall also delineate the relationship between said lots and open space provided as required in Subsection C.4, above. The Commission or Hearing Officer shall consider the proposed separation in ownership and may approve such separation where, in the Commission or Hearing Officer's opinion, the proposed separation provides as well or better for planned development within the intent of this Section.

G. Sale or Separation of Lots.#

Where lots are sold or otherwise separated in ownership, no dwelling unit or lot for a residential building shall be sold or encumbered separately from an undivided interest in the open space appurtenant to such dwelling unit or lot where required by Subsection C.4, above. Such undivided interest shall include either:

  1. An undivided interest in the open space; or

  2. A share in the corporation, or voting membership in an association owning the open space, where approved.

This Subsection G shall not apply when said required open space has been accepted for public dedication; or where held in separate ownership with recreational rights to the required open space reserved to the lot owners and maintenance easements granted to an established maintenance district; or where other satisfactory means to ensure permanent reservation of required open space have been approved by the Commission or Hearing Officer.

H. Accessory Dwelling Units.#

Accessory dwelling units within an existing planned residential development are subject to Section 22.140.640 (Accessory Dwelling Units).

(Ord. 2023-0060 § 5, 2023; Ord. 2023-0004 § 5, 2023; Ord. 2021-0010 § 8, 2021; Ord. 2020-0059 § 6, 2020; Ord. 2019-0053 § 12, 2019; Ord. 2019-0020 § 6, 2019; Ord. 2019-0004 § 1, 2019.)

I notice the input appears to be a fragment of a zoning ordinance table, but it's incomplete and lacks the column headers that would tell us which zoning districts these use types apply to. The data starts mid-table with "Section 22.140.520" and includes various residential and retail/commercial uses, but the table structure (column headers for zoning districts) is missing.

Without the column headers, I cannot properly reconstruct this as a markdown table. Could you provide the full context, including:

  1. The column headers (zoning district abbreviations like R-1, R-2, C-1, etc.)
  2. The beginning of the table if it was cut off
  3. Any preceding text that explains the table's purpose

If you can provide the complete table with headers, I'll format it properly as GitHub-flavored markdown with all sections, notes, and footnotes preserved verbatim.

22.22.010 - Purpose.

A.

General Purpose. Industrial Zones provide for the orderly, well-planned, and balanced
growth of industrial districts and designate adequate land for the growth of employment
centers in the County. Regulations in the Industrial Zones encourage all types of
industrial establishments to achieve compatibility in the characteristics of their
activities and processes in a manner that strives to be harmonious with surrounding
community character and nearby sensitive uses.

B.

Purpose of Individual Zones. The purposes of individual zones are established as follows:

1.

Light Manufacturing Zone. The Light Manufacturing Zone (Zone M-1) allows for light
industry, repair, wholesale, and packaging, including the manufacture, assembly, distribution,
and storage of goods that have low nuisance impacts, but excluding raw-materials production,
processing or bulk handling. Zone M-1 will also accommodate retail and service commercial
uses to serve local employees and visitors.

2.

Restricted Heavy Manufacturing Zone. The Restricted Heavy Manufacturing Zone (Zone
M-1.5) allows for light and restricted heavy industry, repair, wholesale, and packaging,
including manufacture, assembly, distribution, and storage of goods with low to medium
nuisance impacts, but excluding raw-materials production, processing, or bulk handling.

3.

Heavy Manufacturing Zone. The Heavy Manufacturing Zone (Zone M-2) allows for intensive
manufacturing, mineral extraction and refining, processing, assembly, research, wholesale
and storage uses, trucking terminals, railroad and freight stations, and similar activities
that require separation from residential uses due to noise, vibration, odors, or other
negative characteristics. Zone M-2 also accommodates warehousing, distribution, and
port-related uses.

4.

Aircraft and Heavy Industrial Zone. The Aircraft and Heavy Industrial Zone (Zone M-2.5)

Chapter 22.22 - Industrial Zones#

22.22.010 - Purpose and Intent#

The industrial zones are established to provide for a range of industrial activities, from light manufacturing to heavy industrial uses, while protecting surrounding areas from adverse impacts. The zones are designed to accommodate the varying operational needs of different industrial uses and to ensure compatibility between industrial activities and adjacent land uses.

1. Light Manufacturing Zone (M-1)#

The Light Manufacturing Zone (M-1) is intended to accommodate clean, quiet, and non-polluting manufacturing, processing, assembly, research, development, warehousing, and related activities. These uses are characterized by minimal noise, vibration, odor, dust, or other nuisances and are generally compatible with nearby commercial and residential uses when properly buffered.

2. Restricted Heavy Manufacturing Zone (M-1.5)#

The Restricted Heavy Manufacturing Zone (M-1.5) is intended to accommodate manufacturing, processing, assembly, research, development, warehousing, and related activities that may generate moderate levels of noise, vibration, odor, or other impacts but are not as intensive as those permitted in the Heavy Manufacturing Zone (M-2). Uses in this zone shall be subject to performance standards to minimize impacts on surrounding properties.

3. Heavy Manufacturing Zone (M-2)#

The Heavy Manufacturing Zone (M-2) is intended to accommodate intensive manufacturing, processing, assembly, fabrication, storage, and related activities that may generate significant levels of noise, vibration, odor, dust, or other impacts. These uses typically require large sites, substantial utility infrastructure, and separation from residential and other sensitive uses.

4. Aircraft, Heavy Industrial Zone (M-2.5)#

The Aircraft, Heavy Industrial Zone (M-2.5) is intended to accommodate land that is to be used for the operation of large airports, aircraft manufacturing plants, aircraft modification, overhaul, repair plants, and aircraft power-plant testing stations (hereinafter collectively referred to as "zone aircraft uses"), as well as other heavy industrial uses which cause loud noises, heavy vibrations, or other similar conditions. Zone M-2.5 shall prohibit uses which will detrimentally affect, or be detrimentally affected by, such aircraft or other heavy uses for which Zone M-2.5 is designed. Zone M-2.5 also serves as a buffer zone to protect government-owned airports, aircraft manufacturing plants, aircraft modification, overhaul or repair plants, and aircraft power testing stations (hereinafter referred to as "unzoned lawful aircraft uses") that are not subject to the zoning jurisdiction of the County but are contiguous or adjacent to any lot that is subject to the County's jurisdiction.

5. Unclassified Zone (M-3)#

Any remaining unzoned land that is located within the unincorporated area of the County shall be zoned as Unclassified Zone (M-3).

6. Manufacturing—Industrial Planned Zone (MPD)#

The Manufacturing-Industrial Planned Zone (MPD) allows for intensive manufacturing, mineral extraction and refining, processing, assembly, research, wholesale, and storage uses, trucking terminals, railroad and freight stations, and similar activities that require separation from residential uses due to noise, vibration, odors, or other negative characteristics. Zone MPD also accommodates warehousing, distribution, and port-related uses. With the exception of accessory retail and service and ancillary office uses serving local employees and visitors, there shall be no new commercial uses within buildings constructed in Zone MPD after the effective date of this ordinance amendment.

In Zone M-2.5, Conditional Use Permit (Chapter 22.158) applications shall be subject to the following additional procedures:

A. Additional Findings.

  1. That the proposed use will not be a menace to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare.

  2. That the proposed use will not detrimentally affect such zoned aircraft uses, other heavy uses, or unzoned lawful aircraft uses.

  3. [Continued in next section]

Aircraft uses, other heavy uses, or unzoned lawful aircraft uses will not detrimentally
affect the proposed use.

B.  **Additional Conditions.** In addition to any other conditions which may be imposed, an
approved Conditional Use Permit application shall contain conditions which will prevent
the authorized use from detrimentally affecting or being detrimentally affected by
any zoned aircraft use, other heavy use, or any unzoned lawful aircraft use.

C.  **Covenant and Agreement.** In addition to Section 22.222.260 (Performance Guarantees and Covenants), the applicant shall record in the Registrar-Recorder's
Office, an instrument reading substantially as follows:

> "Whereas we have sought and have been granted a Conditional Use Permit, permitting
> the use of the following described property (name of use permitted) to wit, (describe
> property); and
>
> "Whereas the whole of the said property (or a substantial portion thereof, if that
> be the fact) is in the unincorporated area of the County of Los Angeles and in Zone
> M-2.5, under Title 22, the Zoning Ordinance, which zone is designed to be used for the operation of large
> airports, aircraft manufacturing plants, aircraft modification, overhaul or repair
> plants, aircraft power plant testing stations, or other heavy industrial uses which
> cause loud noises, heavy vibrations, or other conditions which may be very detrimental
> to such trades and industries, and as a buffer zone for certain unzoned lawful aircraft
> uses referred to in said Title 22; and
>
> "Whereas we have assured the County of Los Angeles that such heavy industrial uses
> will not be in any way detrimental to the use requested by us; and
>
> "NOW, THEREFORE, as a condition (or one of the conditions) of the granting of said
> conditional permit, we hereby covenant and agree, both for ourselves and for our successors
> in interest, and assigns, that we will not, nor will any of us or any of our successors
> in interest, or assigns, seek damages for, or attempt to enjoin or complain of, the
> reasonable and necessary operation of any use permitted in Zone M-2.5, or of any unzoned
lawful aircraft use and which use is not in violation of said Title 22 of the County Code, or of any other ordinance or law."

D.

The execution of, or promise to execute, such instrument described in Subsection C,
above, may be deemed to be evidence that zoned aircraft or other heavy uses permitted
in Zone M-2.5, or unzoned lawful aircraft uses, will not detrimentally affect such
use.

(Ord. 2019-0004 § 1, 2019.)

## 22.22.090 - Development Standards and Regulations for Zone MPD.

Premises in Zone MPD shall be subject to the following regulations:

### A. Use Regulations.

#### 1. Permitted Uses.

Property in Zone MPD may be used for any nonresidential use permitted in Zone R-A, subject to the same limitations and conditions, including auxiliary and transitional uses, front, side, and rear yards, parking standards, height limits, and other development requirements specified in the respective zones.

#### 2. Conditional Uses.

If a Conditional Use Permit (Chapter 22.158) application has first been approved, property in Zone MPD may be used for:

a. A planned industrial development in which the Commission or Hearing Officer may approve any use permitted in Zone M-1.5, subject to the development standards in Subsection B, below.

b. Child care centers.

#### 3. Prohibited Uses.

The following uses are prohibited in Zone MPD:

a. Oil wells and production facilities, in accordance with Section 22.140.400 (Oil Wells and Production Facilities).

### B. Development Standards.

A planned industrial development, in accordance with Subsection A.2.a, above, shall comply with the following standards:

#### 1. Area.

The proposed development plan shall include a minimum lot area of five acres. A development plan may be considered on a lot less than five acres in area when such property is in Zone MPD and has a common boundary with property which has been developed§

22.24.010 - Purpose.#

A. General Purpose.#

The Rural Zones are established to implement the policies of preserving and maintaining the rural character of rural towns as identified in the General Plan.

B. Purpose of Individual Zones.#

The purposes of individual zones are established as follows:

1. Rural Commercial Zone.#

The Rural Commercial Zone (C-RU) is established to implement the CR (Rural Commercial) land use designation in areas of the County mapped as such in the General Plan. Zone C-RU provides for a mix of commercial uses that are compatible with rural, agricultural, or low-density residential uses. Zone C-RU regulates both the type and intensity of development to protect natural resources, promote an area's economic self-sufficiency, maintain compatibility between C-RU-zoned areas and surrounding uses.


Note: The preceding text appears to be a continuation of a prior section (likely 22.22.XXX or similar) containing conditions for approval of a planned industrial development under Subsection B. The following numbered conditions were provided:


Conditions for Approval of Planned Industrial Development (continued)#

2. Compatibility.#

The proposed development, including the specific industrial uses proposed, shall not be in conflict with the objectives of the General Plan.§

3. Design.#

The structural improvements shall not detract from the established or anticipated character of the surrounding area, as indicated by schematic drawings and renderings to scale showing the architectural design of buildings and structures to be established.§

4. Access and Parking.#

Adequate provision shall be made for vehicular access, parking and loading so as to prevent undue traffic congestion on adjacent streets or highways, particularly local streets.§

5. Building Density.#

The floor area ratio shall not be greater than 1.0, and the ground-floor area of buildings shall not exceed 60 percent of the gross area of the lot. This does not permit a reduction in the parking requirement specified in Chapter 22.112 (Parking).§ In calculating "gross area," any streets or highways on the perimeter of the lot, or any major or secondary highway or parkway that traverses the property, or any area which is required to be dedicated or a private easement given for any such street or highway, shall be excluded.

6. Utilities.#

The applicant shall submit to the Commission or Hearing Officer, and it shall be made a condition of approval, satisfactory evidence that the applicant has made arrangements with the serving utilities to install underground all new facilities necessary to furnish service in the development. This requirement may be waived where it would cause undue hardship or constitute an unreasonable requirement.

7. Signs.#

The Commission or Hearing Officer, in approving the Conditional Use Permit (Chapter 22.158) application, may allow signs which it finds will be in keeping with the concept of planned development.§

8. Development Features.#

The development plan shall include yards, walls, walks, landscaping, and other such features as may be needed to make the industrial development attractive, adequately buffered from adjacent more restrictive uses, and in keeping with the established or anticipated development of the surrounding area.§

9. Development Schedule.#

The Commission or Hearing Officer shall approve a progress schedule, including all phases of development, and indicating that the improvements described in the development plan will be made prior to occupancy of industrial buildings.§ The Commission or Hearing Officer may modify without a hearing this condition pertaining to the development schedule based upon an affirmative showing, in writing, of hardship.

10. Tentative Subdivision Map.#
