Sec. 602. District Designations
Kings County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Kings County
A. CN – Neighborhood Commercial District: The Neighborhood Commercial District is intended primarily for the provision of retail and personal service facilities to satisfy the convenience-goods needs of the consumer relatively close to his or her place of residence.
B. CS – Service Commercial District: The Service Commercial District is intended primarily for establishments engaged in servicing equipment, materials and products, but which do not require the manufacturing, assembling, packaging or processing of articles of merchandise for distribution and retail sale. Land requirements for most commercial service uses generally dictate its application along major streets of the county which generally lay close to highway commercial and industrial districts.
C. CT – Thoroughfare Commercial District: This district is intended primarily for application along certain major streets and highways of the county within urban areas where a mixture of commercial and other uses already exists to the extent that it is impractical to apply any other commercial zoning districts to such areas as provided by this Development Code.
D. CH – Highway Commercial District: The Highway Commercial District is intended primarily for application in areas along major highway access points and/or entrances to a community typically, the area will have controlled access to the highway and have connectivity to frontage roads, interchanges and channelized intersections.
E. CR – Rural Commercial District: The Rural Commercial District is intended primarily for application in rural service centers of the county, such as Armona, Kettleman City, Stratford, Grangeville, Hardwick, and Halls Corner. Uses are intended to serve the needs of rural residents. The Rural Commercial District is established to permit the accommodation of most of the commercial uses otherwise provided for in other commercial districts.
Sec. 603. Land Use Regulations: The following table prescribes the land use regulations for “Commercial” districts. The regulations for each district are established by letter designation shown in the key of Table 6-1:

Table 6-2 Notes:
- 1 . New structures in Kettleman City shall not exceed two stories in height unless adequate fire equipment is provided that can reach beyond two stories or other alternatives are found acceptable to the Kings County Fire Department.
Illuminated outdoor commercial advertising structures in the immediate area of interchanges along Interstate-5, advertising highway traveler services at that interchange, which exceed the maximum copy area per site or per use allowed by this Development Code, may be permitted through a Conditional Use Permit. Such structures shall not be larger than is necessary to be clearly seen by travelers on Interstate 5, provided the structure is designed by a professional engineer and does not pose a safety hazard. Such structures may be located on the actual site of the business or service being advertised, or a group of signs may be clustered in two off premises sites per interchange, but within the CH zoning district at that interchange.
Maximum height determined as part of the Conditional Use Permit.
Pole mounted signs over 3 feet in height within a traffic safety visibility area may be permitted by Site Plan Review provided that the sign must be at least 12 feet above the ground if the sign is placed within 30 feet of a street intersection (intersecting curb lines).
