Title 20 — Zoning

Chapter 20.220 — INDUSTRIAL ZONES

Stanton Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Stanton

§ 20.220.010. Purposes of Industrial Zones.

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

  • A. BP (Business Park) Zone. The BP zone is applied to areas appropriate for single-tenant and multi-tenant offices that include corporate headquarters, research and development, product development, and general professional and administrative uses with no frequent truck traffic. The zone encourages working environments that are of a "campus" type character, which includes landscaped open space between buildings, screened service areas, uniform signs, and a unified design theme for building architecture and site landscaping. Uses may also include small convenience or service-commercial activities intended to meet the needs of the on-site employee population (limited to 15 percent of the square footage of the development).

  • B. IG (Industrial General) Zone. The IG zone is applied to areas appropriate for light industry and manufacturing, heavy commercial service-type facilities, and warehousing facilities that are not proposed to be located in a "campus" type environment. Proximity to major arterial highways is essential or desirable due to the large volumes of vehicle and truck traffic that these uses may generate. Activities are located within enclosed buildings and typically have little or no potential of creating noise, smoke, dust, vibration, or other environmental impacts or pollution.

  • (Ord. 1017, 2013)

§ 20.220.020. Industrial Zone Land Uses and Permit Requirements.

  • A. Allowed land uses.

    1. Table 2-7 indicates the uses allowed within each industrial zone and the planning permit required to establish each use in compliance with Article 5 (Permit Procedures).

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