Springdale, Arkansas Zoning Map

The residential system states its intensities numerically. Single family runs low, low medium and medium density, while multifamily is numbered by units per acre at four, twelve, sixteen and twenty-four. Low medium density single family is the largest residential district by a wide margin, covering over six thousand acres, which is a straightforward measure of how the city has been built.

The more interesting element is the form-based set. Springdale carries three form-based code districts, two neighborhood center types and a campus type, covering the areas where it wants development shaped by form rather than sorted by use. These are small in area but they mark the city's growth strategy, and their standards work differently from the conventional districts around them.

Commercial is graduated from neighborhood through general and thoroughfare to a large product retail category, with a neighborhood office district alongside. Industrial splits into light and general, with a separate warehouse district. Institutional land is significant at over two thousand acres, and Planned Unit Development covers more than thirteen hundred. Springdale regulates building height, coverage, density, floor area ratio, lot size and width, pervious area, and front, side and rear setbacks. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
