A. Purpose. This chapter ensures that new or modified uses and development produce a desirable environment which is compatible with existing development, and protects the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties, consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
B. Applicability of General Standards. The general standards of this chapter apply to more than one zoning district, including residential, commercial, and manufacturing, and therefore are combined in this chapter. These standards shall be considered in combination with the standards for each zoning district in Division IV (Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Zone-Specific Standards). Where there may be a conflict, the standards specific to the zoning district shall override these general standards.
All new or modified structures and uses shall conform with all of the applicable standards of this chapter prior to construction. All uses shall comply with the standards of this chapter, including access, dust and dirt, and odor, as determined applicable by the Director, except as specified in Chapter 19.08 (Nonconforming Structures, Uses, and Parcels).
