§ 19.18 — Twentynine Palms Zoning Code

19.18.020 - Description and Intent of Land Uses ¶

A.

Service Commercial (CS). The intent of the Service Commercial District is to allow for heavier commercial uses and light manufacturing uses. The CS land use allows for more intensive commercial uses, such as wholesaling operations, auto and truck repair and service, lumberyards, machine shops, light manufacturing and recycling centers. The areas in this district shall be completely separated or shielded from other incompatible land uses. High-quality design standards are encouraged to mitigate aesthetic impacts.

B.

Community Industrial (IC). The intent of the Community Industrial district is to accommodate existing industrial uses and allow for new industrial uses. Commercial uses may also be permitted as a means of enhancing and augmenting industrial development. The IC land use allows industrial and limited commercial uses and serves as the City's only industrial designation. The IC designation allows uses such as mining operations, auto dismantling and contractor's storage yards.

(Ord. No. 310, § 4(Exh. A), 9-26-2023)
