Mariposa County Municipal Code § 17.322 Light Industrial Zone (LI)

This zoning classification is designed to provide locations for those essential uses not allowed within the residential or commercial classification. This classification allows for the types of uses that generate employment opportunities for residents of Mariposa and the surrounding area. Typically the uses allowed within this classification are not appropriate in the commercial areas due to space and access demands and potential land use conflicts.
