All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyers should independently verify zoning, permitted uses, square footage, lot size, building condition, parking, and redevelopment potential.
C-D-MU zoning combines the property’s underlying commercial zoning with the City of La Mesa’s Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. The designation supports commercial, residential, and mixed-use development intended to revitalize major commercial corridors and encourage pedestrian-oriented projects near services, employment, and transit.
Potential uses include retail, restaurants, cafés, offices, personal and convenience services, entertainment, community facilities, residential development, and projects combining ground-floor commercial space with residential units above or elsewhere on the site. Certain uses—including automotive repair, body and paint shops, tire stores, vehicle sales, gas stations, drive-through businesses, and standalone parking facilities—require a Conditional Use Permit.
The overlay generally allows a maximum building height of 46 feet and residential density of up to 40 units per acre for development sites exceeding 10,000 square feet. New development and major renovations are subject to applicable parking, pedestrian-realm, open-space, Site Plan Review, and Urban Design Review requirements.
