The Zone change process provides for input by <strong>the</strong> public and <strong>the</strong> Planning<br />
Commission, and gives <strong>the</strong> Council complete discretion under State law. The <strong>City</strong><br />
Council is not obligated to approve requests for rezoning or make findings to justify <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
decision.<br />
THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL OVERLAY ZONE<br />
At <strong>the</strong> workshop, staff presented <strong>the</strong> four industrial zones within <strong>Jurupa</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> and<br />
presented a matrix depicting those uses that were allowed in each zone. Approximately<br />
10 industrial use categories (out <strong>of</strong> approximately 150 permitted uses) were identified as<br />
requiring Council approval <strong>of</strong> land use entitlements. In order to achieve <strong>the</strong> objective <strong>of</strong><br />
ensuring <strong>City</strong> Council approval <strong>of</strong> industrial projects that use large acreages, yet return<br />
little benefit to <strong>the</strong> community, <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> an overlay zone is proposed. It<br />
involves two steps. First, <strong>the</strong> subject uses will be deleted from <strong>the</strong> existing industrial<br />
zones. Second, those same uses will be listed as permitted, or permitted with a CUP, in<br />
<strong>the</strong> new overlay zone.<br />
The list <strong>of</strong> heavy industrial uses to be eliminated from each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> existing industrial<br />
zones is attached as Exhibit B. These uses will <strong>the</strong>n be allowed only by virtue <strong>of</strong> a zone<br />
change to <strong>the</strong> Heavy Industrial Overlay Zone, which is Exhibit C. All lawfully preexisting<br />
nonconforming uses <strong>of</strong> existing land uses are permitted to continue indefinitely<br />
and will be considered legal nonconforming. They may remain legal nonconforming<br />
unless substantial changes are made per <strong>the</strong> zoning code regulations specified in<br />
Chapter 17.184 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Riverside County Zoning Ordinance. The list <strong>of</strong> approximately<br />
140 industrial uses to be unaffected by this proposal are listed in Exhibit D.<br />
The Heavy Industrial Overlay Zone (M-O) will permit <strong>the</strong> following uses:<br />
