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

RMS Residential Medium Density Single Family | - | 3,969.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
A Airport | - | 3,512 ac | Standards & uses → |

Pocatello regulates land through only 14 zoning districts, and the second largest is Airport at roughly 3,512 acres, behind only the main residential district at about 3,969. An airport classification at that scale, covering nearly as much ground as the city's dominant housing district, is the defining feature of the map.
Public Land Facility follows at roughly 3,054 acres, so between the airport and public land more than six thousand acres sit outside private development categories.
The residential system is graduated and clearly named: Residential Estate, Residential Low Density, Residential Medium Density Single Family, Residential Medium Density Multifamily and Residential High Density. Naming the two medium density districts by housing type rather than by number makes the distinction explicit.
A Residential Commercial Professional district covers roughly 1,225 acres, a substantial mixed category that sits between the residential and commercial ladders and gives the city real transitional capacity.
The University district covers roughly 711 acres, a significant institutional footprint for a city of this size.
Commercial is compact: a general district at roughly 1,514 acres, a central commercial district at about 25, and an office park at roughly 55. Industrial splits into a general district at roughly 1,017 acres and light industrial at about 896. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
