City of Colton Ordinance No. 0-02-13 Page 2 of 5 1 o Industrial Principle 1: "Industrial uses need to be located in areas compatible 2 with surrounding uses such as adjacent to railroads and freeways." M-2 zoned land within the City of Colton is, with minor exceptions, buffered from sensitive land 3 uses, such as residential. The proposed Zone Text Amendment will permit 4 automobile -related uses only within enclosed buildings without a conditional use permit. 5 o Industrial Standard 2: "Specific zoning standards for Light and Heavy Industrial 6 activities shall be dictated by the City's M-1 and M-2 zones, respectively." The proposed Zone Text Amendment will limit automobile -related uses to enclosed 7 buildings without a conditional use permit in the M-2 Heavy Industrial zone. This 8 specific zoning standard will ensure land use compatibility with more sensitive land uses. 9 Noise Element. Not requiring a conditional use permit for automobile parking, repair, 10 servicing, sales and rentals, and storage within the M-2 Heavy Industrial zone is consistent with 11 the Principles and Standards of the City of Colton Noise Element, specifically: 12 o Principle 2: "Control noise exposure from future noise generators so the ambient environment will be kept within acceptable limits." The proposed exemption from 13 a conditional use permit requirement is limited to automobile -related uses conducted 14 entirely within enclosed buildings in the M-2 Heavy Industrial zone. Therefore, any potential noise impact on sensitive land uses will be kept within acceptable limits. 15 Finally, the City of Colton finds that the proposed Zone Text Amendment removing the 16 conditional use permit requirement for automobile -related uses within the M-2 Heavy Industrial zone is reasonably related to the public welfare of the citizens of the City and surrounding region; 17 more specifically, Section 18.58.060(A) in the Colton Municipal Code states that, "The purpose of a conditional use permit is to allow certain uses that contribute to the orderly growth and 18 development of the city to be properly integrated into the overall community pattern and zone where located." The provisions of this Ordinance make clear the zone in which automobile - 19 related uses are pernitted, with appropriate restrictions to ensure that the permitted uses are integrated into the overall community pattern and zone in which the uses are located. 20 SECTION 3.
