Zoning Information

Zoning Ordinance

The Zoning Ordinance establishes zoning districts (also referred to as zones) that govern the use of land, indicates standards for structures and improvements that are permitted within the various zones, and establishes procedures for the granting of permits and entitlements.


The City of Beaumont recently updated the zoning code and the updates are available below.

The City’s Zoning Code (Title 17 of the Municipal Code) has not been comprehensively updated since 2007. Since that time, the City has adopted its General Plan 2040, 6th Cycle Housing Element (2021-2029), Economic Development Strategic Plan, and Parking Management Master Plan. While the City has made ad hoc amendments to the Zoning Code to implement some of these policy documents, a comprehensive Zoning Code update has not been completed since 2007. The City is now beginning a process to comprehensively update its Zoning Code. The objectives of this update are to:

  • Modernize and Improve Usability. Update the Zoning Code to be easier for City staff to administer and user-friendly for the public, including modernizing language (e.g., clear definitions) and standards.
  • Internal and External Consistency. Ensure the Zoning Code is internally consistent with itself and implements various City policy documents (e.g., General Plan, Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan, Economic Development Strategic Plan, Parking Management Master Plan, etc.).
  • Streamline the Zoning Code. Update the Zoning Code to be more succinct and better organized.
  • Industrial/Commercial Design Standards. Create design standards for industrial and commercial uses, particularly warehouses, to address aesthetic impacts and compatibility with surrounding uses.
