Document Description
The City of Vernon is an exclusively industrial city, incorporated in 1905 to meet the needs of business owners. Vernon has undertaken a comprehensive update of its General Plan and comprehensively revised the Zoning Ordinance to focus land use policy and regulations on accommodating specific types of industrial businesses, and to re-emphasize policies and standards that prohibit establishment of any new residences or other uses that are clearly incompatible with Vernon's industrial focus. The General Plan consists of six elements: Land Use, Circulation and Infrastructure, Housing, Safety, Noise, and Resources (fulfills requirements of Open Space and Conservation elements required by state law). The Land Use Element provides for a single land use category- Industrial- and establishes a commercial overlay for limited areas of the City. Similarly, the Zoning Ordinance provides for a single zone- General Industrial (I)- and three overlay zones: Commercial, Slaughtering, and Rendering. The Noise Element and the Zoning Ordinance set forth new noise standards for the City consistent with its industrial focus.
