<strong>An</strong> <strong>Alternative</strong> <strong>Future</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> NEMIZ<br />

<strong>Mission</strong> Coalition <strong>for</strong> Economic Justice & Jobs<br />

B. NEMIZ-Specific PDR<br />

Definitions<br />

MCEJJ has prepared a NEMIZ-specific set of definitions<br />

<strong>for</strong> PDR uses that reflect <strong>the</strong> existing uses<br />

and available building types, parcel sizes, and<br />

access opportunities and constraints within <strong>the</strong><br />

NEMIZ.<br />

This recommendation includes <strong>the</strong> following use<br />

and activity sub-categories:<br />

Automotive PDR: automotive repair (both maintenance<br />

and body work/painting).<br />

Clothing PDR: clothing manufacturing, distribution,<br />

and wholesale.<br />

Commercial/Service PDR: Businesses that provide<br />

a service to o<strong>the</strong>r businesses and <strong>the</strong> public; may<br />

also involve wholesale or some retail sales.<br />

Examples include: <strong>Mission</strong> Linens, <strong>the</strong><br />

Schoenstein & Sons Pipe Organ Company,<br />

Lumbermans, plumbing or electrical supplies, auto<br />

parts sales, print shops, etc.<br />

Construction PDR: contractor facilities (offices,<br />

yards, production facilities).<br />

Cultural PDR: prop and stage production, artists’<br />

studios, artesian manufacturing.<br />

Food PDR: food manufacturing, preparation, and<br />

wholesale/distribution.<br />

Manufacturing PDR: general manufacturing not<br />

associated with o<strong>the</strong>r sub-categories.<br />

Mixed-Use PDR: properties that include a mix of<br />

PDR uses or a mix of PDR uses with o<strong>the</strong>r uses.<br />

Public/Institutional Facility and Utility (PIFU)<br />

PDR: City/County, public or non-profit civic<br />

institution, or utility production, distribution,<br />

and/or repair facilities, such as Muni, City Sign<br />

Shop, PG&E, AT&T, and <strong>the</strong> SPCA. [Note: PIFU<br />

is a land use definition used in San Francisco’s<br />

existing Zoning Code].<br />

Storage PDR: self-storage and warehouse facilities.<br />

V.6 Policy & Planning Recommendations<br />

Tech/Media PDR: film production, sound studios,<br />

graphic and web design, and o<strong>the</strong>r similar technical<br />

and media related production uses.<br />

R&D PDR: research and development facilities<br />

that combine a variety of uses including: wet, dry,<br />

or computer research labs, production facilities,<br />

storage, and some office uses. NEMIZ examples<br />

include Dolby Labs.<br />

NEMIZ PDR types by land use compatibility<br />

and impact:<br />

These definitions build from HAC’s comments in<br />

regards to <strong>the</strong> City definitions.<br />

Core PDR: Production, distribution, and repair<br />

uses that provide value to <strong>the</strong> local economy and a<br />

valuable employment base to <strong>the</strong> community.<br />

These uses, in general, should be located in a PDR<br />

Exclusive <strong>Zone</strong> or <strong>Industrial</strong> Preservation <strong>Zone</strong><br />

(IPZ), because of potential conflicts with commercial<br />

and residential uses, such as fumes, noise,<br />

vibration, times of operations, and semi-truck traffic.<br />

Medium PDR: Production, distribution, and<br />

repair uses that provide value to <strong>the</strong> local economy<br />

and a valuable employment base to <strong>the</strong> community.<br />

These uses, in general, do not present potential<br />

conflicts with commercial and residential uses,<br />

such as fumes, noise, times of operations, and<br />

semi-truck traffic. But <strong>the</strong>se uses, in general, do<br />

not experience conflicts with Core PDR uses.<br />

Light PDR: Production, distribution, and repair<br />

uses that provide value to <strong>the</strong> local economy and a<br />

valuable employment base to <strong>the</strong> community.<br />

These uses, in general, do not present potential<br />

conflicts with commercial and residential uses,<br />

such as fumes, noise, times of operations, and<br />

semi-truck traffic. But <strong>the</strong>se uses, in general, can<br />

experience conflicts with Core PDR uses and<br />

should be buffered from Core PDR zones.
