Zoning Map

The Department of Development Services is responsible for updating the City’s Land Use Map and Zoning Map. The Land Use Map shows what types of land uses are allowed within an area. For example, the land use designations typically are: Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Open Space, with varying degrees of each type (for example, low density residential or high density residential).

Transit Oriented Development Packing House District

The following provides detailed regulations for development of land uses within the Transit Oriented Development Packing House District (TOD Packing House District or "District"). The purpose of the TOD Packing House District is to encourage an appropriate mixture and density of activity around the Metrolink station to increase ridership and promote alternative modes of transportation to the automobile. The consequent intent is to decrease auto-dependency, and mitigate the effects of congestion and pollution. The development standards seek to achieve this by providing a pedestrian, bicycle, and transit-supportive environment configured in a compact pattern and a complementary mix of land uses all within a comfortable walking distance of the station.
