Savannah, 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. Savannah'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
C-M Conservation Marsh | - | 14,298.3 ac | Standards & uses → |
PD Planned Development | - | 10,828.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
RSF-6 Residential Single Family 6 | - | 6,978.2 ac | Standards & uses → |

Savannah regulates land through 86 zoning districts, and the largest is Conservation Marsh at roughly 14,298 acres. That single figure captures the city's setting: tidal marsh is the dominant land classification, ahead of every development district.
Planned Development follows at roughly 10,829 acres. Together, marsh and planned development account for more of the city than all the conventional residential districts combined.
The residential system states lot size in the code, running RSF-5, RSF-6, RSF-10 and RSF-20, with the 6 version the largest at roughly 6,978 acres. Multifamily districts state density directly, appearing as RMF-2 at 10, 15 and 25 units per acre, which are separate districts rather than options within one. Traditional Residential districts cover the historic fabric.
Industry is substantial: light industrial at roughly 6,525 acres and heavy industrial at about 5,268, reflecting the port. A light industrial transition district covers roughly 613 acres, providing a graded step between industry and other uses, and a manufacturing annexed district covers about 1,244 acres, carrying a designation from land brought into the city.
Military Installation covers roughly 4,888 acres as its own classification. Conservation Park adds about 1,816 acres and a general conservation district roughly 1,433. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
