B. Applicability: The JCOZ applies only to the construction of office and industrial
buildings within the defined overlay zone areas. Office projects must have a minimum height of
three-stories and industrial projects must have a minimum height of greater than 35 feet. All
other building types that are not office or industrial buildings, including, but not limited to,
hotels, hospitals, residential buildings, and vertical mixed-use buildings, are not applicable under
the JCOZ.
C. Design Standards: The following standards shall apply to any development under
the JCOZ in addition to the requirements of the underlying zone.
1. Height.
a. Office Buildings. Construction of office buildings between three and five
stories in height shall be permitted without obtaining a Conditional Use
Permit and be subject to Development Review.
b. Industrial Buildings. Construction of industrial buildings between 35 feet 1
inch and 55 feet in height shall be permitted without obtaining a Conditional
Use Permit and be subject to Development Review.
c. Additional Height. Office and industrial buildings exceeding the maximum
thresholds defined by this section shall require the approval of a Conditional
Use Permit. At the discretion of the Director, architectural treatments may
exceed the maximum height thresholds defined by this section without a
Conditional Use Permit provided that: 1) the addition does not exceed 10 feet
in height; 2) the allowance would be compatible with the architectural design;
and 3) the allowance would provide additional architectural articulation and/or Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 2] (JCOZ)
screening of rooftop equipment that could not otherwise be achieved within
the height thresholds defined by this section.
d. The total height of the structure shall be measured from the lowest point of the
structure to the highest point of the structure. Loading docks that extend
below the grade of the finished floor shall not be counted as the lowest point.
2. Incentives. At the discretion of the Director, any or all of the following incentives
may be applied to applicable projects within the JCOZ:
a. A maximum reduction of required on-site parking of 20 percent;
b. Issuance of a Sign Review permit at no fee;
c. Development Review of on-site structured parking, provided the structured
parking does not exceed the height of the proposed office or industrial
building associated with the structured parking; and
d. Stealth-mounted Wireless Communications Facilities mounted on an office or
industrial building would require a Minor Use Permit. This level of review
applies to Wireless Communications Facilities proposed as part of any formal
submittal for a qualifying office or industrial building project or at any time
after such a formal submittal has been received and/or approved by the City.
Stealth-mounted Wireless Communications Facilities must be incorporated
into the overall building architecture and be completely concealed from public
view.
