Light Manufacturing Zone - Green Zone

The Light Manufacturing Zone (Zone M-1) allows for light industry, repair, wholesale, and packaging, including the manufacture, assembly, distribution, and storage of goods that have low nuisance impacts, but excluding raw-materials production, processing or bulk handling. Zone M-1 will also accommodate retail and service commercial uses to serve local employees and visitors.; The Green Zone is a Combining Zone established to identify industrially-zoned parcels, including those in a Specific Plan, that are within a 500-foot radius of a lot containing a sensitive use, and therefore, subject to specific land use regulations set forth in this Chapter. The Green Zone promotes environmental justice in communities that are disproportionately affected by toxic pollutants and contaminants generated from various land uses over time. This Chapter provides regulations and procedures for new and existing land uses to ensure that such land uses will be operated in consideration of the surrounding sensitive uses, minimizing potential adverse health and safety impacts, and promoting clean industrial uses.
