Pomona residential zones have a 35-ft height limit. The M-1 industrial zone allows up to 75 ft. Height is measured per the Zoning and Development Code (effective July 31, 2024).
Pomona regulates maximum building and structure heights through the zoning code. Typical residential zones allow 35 feet or 2.5 stories, whichever is less. Height is measured from average finished grade to the highest point of the roof. Chimneys, antennas, and mechanical equipment may be exempt up to a limited additional height. Commercial and mixed-use zones may allow greater heights. Planned unit developments may negotiate alternative height standards. Height variances require zoning board review.
Exceeding height limit: stop-work order. Required to reduce height or obtain variance. Fines $250 to $2,000.
