Fresno County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Fresno County

814.2.010 – Purpose of Individual Industrial Zones

The purposes of the individual industrial zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.

  • A. C-M (Commercial and Light Manufacturing) Zone. The C-M zone is intended to provide for a close relationship between retail and wholesale sales, light manufacturing, warehousing, and distributing and storage operations which do not create adverse impacts involving dust, gas, lighting, odor, smoke, sound, soot, or vibration to any degree on adjacent uses. The C-M zone is consistent with the Mountain Commercial and Mountain Urban land use designations of the General Plan.

  • B. M-1 (Light Industrial) Zone. The M-1 zone is applied to areas appropriate for restricted non-intensive manufacturing and storage uses, including fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly of processed materials, which do not adversely impact surrounding uses. The M-1 zone is consistent with the Limited Industrial and General Industrial land use designations of the General Plan.

  • C. M-2 (General Industrial) Zone. The M-2 zone is applied to areas appropriate for a wider range of fabrication, manufacturing, processing, and storage uses, including warehousing and distribution facilities, mini-warehouse storage, and a variety of light manufacturing uses adjacent to non-industrial uses. The M-2 zone is consistent with the General Industrial land use designation of the General Plan.

  • D. M-3 (Heavy Industrial) Zone. The M-3 zone is applied to areas appropriate for heavy industrial uses engaged in the mechanical or chemical processing of materials or substances into new products, the assembling of component parts, or the blending of materials, including animal and poultry slaughtering, automobile assembly or recycling, machine shops, petroleum refining, and a variety of heavy manufacturing uses, which may require appropriate buffering from adjacent commercial and residential uses. The M-3 zone is consistent with the General Industrial land use designation of the General Plan.

814.2.020 – Industrial Zone Land Uses and Permit Requirements

A. Allowed land uses.

  1. Table 2-8 indicates the uses allowed within each industrial zone and the planning permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Article 5 (Land Use and Development Review Procedures).

  2. Industrial uses represent the principal allowed use, and only those additional uses that are complementary to, and can exist in harmony with, the industrial character of each zone may be allowed as accessory, conditionally permitted, and/or temporary uses.
