Glendale, Arizona Zoning Districts: What Do They Mean?
Zoning districts are areas regulated by specific laws that determine land use, building types, and development rules. Each district below shows its zone type. Glendale's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.
| Zone Code | Category | Area | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
R1-6 Single Residence 6 | - | 11,329.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
PAD Planned Area Development | - | 10,579.8 ac | Standards & uses → |
A-1 Agricultural | - | 4,171.4 ac | Standards & uses → |

Glendale regulates land through 30 zoning districts. Two things stand out immediately: the single largest conventional district is Single Residence 6, and the second largest classification overall is Planned Area Development, which covers more than ten thousand acres.
The residential system uses two parallel numbered series. Single Residence districts run 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, while Suburban Residence districts run 12, 17 and 30, with a Rural Residence district at 45. Reading across both series, the number rises as intensity falls, so a site in Suburban Residence 30 or Rural Residence 45 sits at the low-density end of the city. Multiple Residence districts numbered 3 and 4 and a Mixed Residence district cover the higher intensities.
The distinctive district is Luke Air Force Base, which appears on the zoning map as its own classification covering more than two thousand acres. Its presence has consequences beyond the base boundary, because airfield operations shape what is practical on nearby land. Agricultural land still covers over four thousand acres, marking the parts of the city that have not yet converted. Industrial is split into light and heavy, commercial into general, heavy and commercial office, and a business park district and special use district complete the roster. The large Planned Area Development share means that for much of Glendale the operative standards come from an approved development plan rather than from a citywide table. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Glendale zoning: frequently asked questions
What are Glendale's two residential numbering series?
Single Residence districts numbered 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, and Suburban Residence districts numbered 12, 17 and 30, with a Rural Residence district at 45. In both series the number rises as intensity falls, so the higher numbers mark the low-density parts of the city.
How much of Glendale is Planned Area Development?
More than ten thousand acres, making it the second largest classification in the city. Where PAD applies, the governing standards generally come from the approved plan for that development rather than from a single citywide district table.
Why does Luke Air Force Base appear in the zoning roster?
It is its own zoning district covering more than two thousand acres. Airfield operations also shape what is practical on surrounding land, so its presence is relevant to sites near the base and not only to the base itself.
How much agricultural land is left in Glendale?
The agricultural district still covers over four thousand acres, placing it among the largest districts in the city. It marks the areas that have not yet converted to urban use, and development there generally requires a rezoning.
Which districts cover higher-density housing in Glendale?
Multiple Residence 3 and Multiple Residence 4, together with a Mixed Residence district. Multiple Residence 4 covers the largest area of the three, while the Single and Suburban Residence series handle the lower intensities.
