Permitted Uses and Development Standards:
Development standards for the City are located throughout the Lemon Grove Municipal Code. Most standards are located throughout the Title 17 Zoning Ordinance. For properties located in the Downtown Village Specific Plan, development standards are found in both documents. Additional standards may be found in other parts of the code such as Title 18 City Wide Regulations and Title 8 Health and Safety. Applicability of these standards vary based on the location of the project and the project proposed by an applicant. It is usually best to speak with a Planner (619) 825-3805 regarding your proposal.
