a) Amend the Land Use Element of the Mojave Specific Plan from Map Code 8.5 (Resource Management) to Map Code 7.2 (Service Industrial) or a more restrictive map code designation on 24.5 acres; and (b) a change in zone classification from A H (Exclusive Agriculture - Airport Height Approach Combining) to M-2 PD (Medium Industrial - Precise Development Combining) or a more restrictive district on 24.5 acres. The purpose of the request is to make the site's specific plan map code designation and zoning classification consistent with its existing industrial land use and facilitate future expansion of a legal-nonconforming concrete batch plant with associated industrial land uses. The 7.2 Map Code designation is intended to provide for accessory uses to an airport, and industrial service uses that may include outdoor storage or use of heavy equipment. The purpose of the M-2 District is to designate areas for general manufacturing, processing, and assembly activities. Uses may not produce fumes, odor, dust, smoke, gas, or vibrations extending beyond zoning district boundaries. The purpose of the PD Combining District is to identify areas with unique site characteristics or environmental conditions or areas surrounded by sensitive land uses to ensure development in such areas is compatible with such constraints. Development in the PD Combining District is discretionary and therefore subject to further environmental review. No use can be established or developed in the PD Combining District until an application for development has been deemed complete and an environmental document, if required, is completed so the request can be considered at a regulary scheduled public hearing. As proposed domestic water would be by an existing onsite well, while sewage disposal would be via chemical toilets and a septic system. Access would continue to be by State Highway Business Route 58 East, which is designated as a Freeway by the Circulation Element of the Mojave Specific Plan.
