Certain types of retail sales are permitted under specified limitations.

IG Industrial General District. To provide and protect existing industrial sites and allow for continued operation of existing general industry, subject to performance standards and buffering requirements to minimize potential environmental impacts. Certain types of retail sales are permitted under specified limitations.

IP Industrial Park District. To provide and protect industrial lands for the development in a landscaped setting of communities of high technology, research and development facilities, limited industrial activities (including production and assembly but not raw materials processing or bulk handling), small-scale warehousing and distribution, industrial office centers, certain types of specified retail sales, and related uses.

IT Industrial Transition District. To provide and protect industrial lands for the development of emerging technologies, artisanal production, and light manufacturing methods, while preserving existing businesses and allowing additional commercial uses under specified limitations and residential development within one-half mile of a BART station.
