Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Ione Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.
Zones where a community garden can go
Ione's code calls this use “Community Garden”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
What else applies
- Not covered here: S-P and P-D (special purpose districts) and H overlay: no use table in the text. Table 17.20.020-1 writes the business zone as "BP"; the use tables write "B-P".. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
