Goal II-15: Protect the reasonable use of property in the County.Policy II-15A: Allow the construction of one single-family residence on each legally created parcelcapable of supporting such use.4.0 Industrial AreasImplementation Measure II-15A-1: Permit the construction of a single-family residence oneach legally created parcel in the County when:• Such use is permitted in the zoning district applied to the parcel;• The parcel has a source of potable domestic water satisfying County requirements;• The parcel has an approved method of sewage disposal;• No known health or safety hazards exist on the parcel.Industrial areas are those areas designated principally for processing, fabrication, or manufacturingof goods and commodities.Existing Industrial Lands are those currently in operation or currently zoned light industrial (M1),general industrial (M2), rural home industry (RM), or business park (M4). Existing industrial landsprovide major sources for employment in Calaveras County. Mining and timber are the largest industrialuses in Calaveras County. Many lands with industrial zoning are former or current mining sites. Before1978 when the County added provisions to its Zoning Code specifically to address mineral extraction inagricultural areas, industrial zoning was applied to mining sites. These industrial zones are still recognized.Future Industrial designations and zoning are to be located within Community Centers,Community, Special and Specific Plan areas, Mixed Use/Master Project Areas, or the Industrial Corridor(See Section 4.1). Efforts by the Calaveras County Economic Development Company continue to assist inbringing new industries into the County. While the major industrial attraction to Calaveras County remainsaccess to raw materials, technological developments, affordable real estate, and anavailable work force make Calaveras County increasingly attractive to non-resource industries.GENERAL PLAN RECOMMENDATIONSGoal II-16: Enable existing industries to maintain and expand their operations in the County.Policy II-16A: Retain existing industrially zoned lands, unless the property owner requestsotherwise.Implementation Measure II-16A-1: Recognize legally established existing industrial zonesas a consistent zone within the Community Development/Future Single Family Residentialand Natural Resource Designations.Goal II-17: Provide for new industrial development in areas designated by the General Plan which allowindustrial designations.Calaveras County General Plan z December 9, 1996 z Page II-20
Policy II-17A: Allow the Industrial designation and zoning in Community, Special and Specific Planareas, Mixed Use/Master Project area, Community Centers, and the Industrial Corridor.Implementation Measure II-17A-1: Consider requests for industrial zoning, consistent withthe policies as defined in the land use categories of the General Plan and individual plans.Implementation Measure II-17A-2: Use all of the following criteria for siting lightindustrial uses and zoning in Community Centers:• The subject property has direct access to a minor arterial or major collector; and• The subject property is served by public water and sewer, or has proposed sourcesof water and sewage disposal approved by the County Department of EnvironmentalHealth; and• Development of the subject property for industrial use is compatible withneighboring land uses and zoning; and• The requested zoning is M1, RM, or M4.Policy II-17B: Review proposed industrial development for traffic impacts.Implementation Measure II-17B-1: Apply the project specific criteria of the CirculationElement and County Road Ordinance, Chapter 12.02 of County Code, to all new industrialdevelopment and subdivision activity.4.1 Industrial CorridorA corridor paralleling Highway 12 between San Andreas and the San Joaquin County line has beenestablished as the area of the County where major industrial development is generally encouraged to locate.This corridor is called the Industrial Corridor, and establishes a Policy Boundary within which the Industrialdesignation and new industrial zoning may be permitted.The lands within this Industrial Corridor are generally level, have access to State Highway 12 and,in many locations, are served by public water, fire protection services, natural gas, and good electrical powerdistribution. The Industrial Corridor includes a mix of land uses, and, due to the significant acreage withinthe corridor, it is not the intent of the General Plan that the entire corridor should be designated, rezoned anddeveloped into industrial uses. There are numerous areas withinthe Industrial Corridor presently developed as rural settlements, planned subdivisions, Community Centersand Community Plan areas.While land in the Industrial Corridor has the potential to accommodate industrial zoning districts,siting of future uses and zoning within the Corridor must be compatible with other types of existing andpotential development in the general vicinity. In addition, additional lands within the corridor, based upona Specific or Special Plan, may be planned for supporting residential and commercial uses.Calaveras County General Plan z December 9, 1996 z Page II-21
