Hello LandMark

What is the maximum building height permitted?

Light Industrial Zones (M1 / I-1 / LI)
In light industrial zones, building heights are moderately restricted to ensure compatibility with nearby commercial or residential areas. These heights support smaller-scale operations.

  • Maximum building height: typically 35 to 45 feet
  • Intended for single or two-story buildings like workshops and assembly units
  • Height increases may be allowed with conditional permits or design approvals

General or Medium Industrial Zones (M2 / I-2 / GI)
Medium industrial zones allow greater height to accommodate warehousing, logistics, and fabrication needs. These buildings often include mezzanines or specialized infrastructure.

  • Maximum building height: generally 50 to 75 feet
  • Suitable for multi-level storage, conveyor systems, or moderate-scale manufacturing
  • Subject to fire safety, structural, and zoning code compliance

Heavy Industrial Zones (M3 / I-3 / HI)
Heavy industrial zones provide the highest flexibility in building height due to the demands of large-scale industrial operations. These structures often require clearance for cranes, stacks, or silos.

  • Maximum building height: 75 feet and above (with potential for unlimited height based on permits)
  • Applicable for plants, processing towers, and heavy equipment bays
  • May be restricted by environmental, aviation, or hazard-related overlays
