Light Industrial Zones (M1 / I-1 / LI)
Minimum lot size requirements in light industrial zones are typically smaller to support low-impact, space-efficient operations. These lots are often found near commercial or mixed-use areas.
- Common minimum lot size: 0.25 to 1 acre
- Suitable for small-scale manufacturing, assembly, or warehousing
- Designed for businesses with limited outdoor operations and minimal traffic
General or Medium Industrial Zones (M2 / I-2 / GI)
These zones accommodate larger operations that require more space for machinery, storage, and vehicle movement. Lot size is adjusted to handle greater utility and operational demands.
- Common minimum lot size: 1 to 3 acres
- Supports moderate-impact industries and logistics functions
- Includes space for internal roads, loading docks, and parking
Heavy Industrial Zones (M3 / I-3 / HI)
Heavy industrial zones require the largest lot sizes due to the scale and intensity of operations. These lots are intended for high-impact uses with significant infrastructure needs.
- Common minimum lot size: 5 acres or more
- Accommodates factories, plants, and hazardous material handling
- Requires space for environmental buffers, safety zones, and large equipment
