Marietta, Georgia 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. Marietta's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.

R2 Single Family Residential | - | 2,576.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
CRC Community Retail Commercial | - | 1,912.5 ac | Standards & uses → |

Marietta regulates land through 28 zoning districts, and the second largest is Community Retail Commercial at roughly 1,912 acres, close behind the largest residential district at about 2,576. A city where retail commercial ranks that high by area has an unusually commercial land profile.
The retail districts are graduated by trade area: neighborhood, community and regional. Community retail dominates by a wide margin, with regional retail at roughly 91 acres and neighborhood retail about 44.
The residential system is numbered 1 through 4 for detached housing, with attached housing at RA6 and RA8 and multifamily at RM8 and RM12. Planned Residential Development appears in both single family and multifamily versions, together covering roughly 1,860 acres, so a substantial share of the city's housing sits under approved plans.
Office is differentiated in a way most cities do not attempt: an office institutional district at roughly 888 acres, an office services district at about 57, and an Office High Rise district at roughly 22 acres. Naming a high rise office category explicitly, however small, marks where the city contemplates that form.
Light Industrial covers roughly 1,543 acres with heavy industrial at about 471. Planned industrial and planned commercial development districts sit alongside them. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
