The City of Irvine is divided into Planning Areas; these planning areas are then divided into land use districts. Each district includes a list of Permitted and Conditionally Permitted uses. A Conditional Use Permit is required to determine land use compatibility and to thoroughly identify all project related impacts, and, where applicable, appropriate mitigation. A public notice of the project and a public hearing is required for all Conditional Use Permit applications.
If you would like assistance in determining whether or not a Conditional Use Permit is required for your proposed project, please contact the City of Irvine Development Assistance Center at 949-724-6308.
