SCR, Shopping Center Regional District. The SCR district will implement the super community and regional activity center policies of the general plan. This district is designed for retail and service trades catering to a regional market area, with bulk standards and a broad range of permitted uses supporting the development of shopping malls with large specialized retail anchors. Accessibility to and circulation within SCR districts is of particular importance due to the anticipated intensity of development and the relatively high rates of traffic generated by certain uses within a center. Preferred locations are at intersections of six-lane streets or at the interchange of a freeway and a four-lane (or greater) arterial street. This district should be served by a variety of public transit services. I. Industrial Districts. The industrial districts will implement the various industrial policy objectives of the general plan. The range of permitted uses, bulk requirements and operational standards reflect the intended purpose of the respective district. 1. IWD, Industrial Warehousing/Distribution District. The IWD district implements those industrial policies of the general plan that provide opportunities for wholesaling, warehousing and bulk distribution uses. This district also may be used to implement major transportation policies of the general plan. By their nature, the principal uses of this district require relatively flat, large acreage tracts of land and may generate large volumes of heavy truck traffic, necessitating very good access to major arterial streets and the interstate system. Some businesses also may require direct rail or river access. 2. IR, Industrial Restrictive District. The IR district implements those industrial policies of the general plan that provide adequate opportunities for a wide range of light industrial uses at a small to moderate scale. Uses most suitable in this district are those which operate within completely enclosed buildings with limited outdoor storage. Potential impacts on abutting properties are minimized by the light industrial nature of the uses permitted in this district and high operational standards. Uses within this district should have a high level of access to the major street network. 3. IG, Industrial General District. The IG district implements those industrial policies of the general plan which provide opportunities for intensive manufacturing uses that are essential for the economic viability of the metropolitan area.
