Kenner regulates land through 21 zoning districts, and the airport dominates the employment side: Aviation Heavy Industrial covers roughly 1,251 acres, the second largest classification in the city.
The most distinctive district is the Batture District at roughly 118 acres. Batture is the land between the levee and the river, and zoning it as its own classification is specific to Mississippi River cities. A parcel there faces conditions no other district in the city shares.
The Laketown area carries two districts, a general Laketown District at roughly 80 acres and a Laketown Gaming District at about 14. Zoning gaming explicitly as its own district makes that use's location unambiguous.
Rivertown Historic District covers roughly 28 acres, giving the historic core its own designation.
A Special Ordinance district covers roughly 998 acres, the fourth largest classification, which means a substantial share of the city is governed by terms specific to that land rather than by a standard district.
The residential ladder runs single family in three variants, two family, three or four family, and multifamily. Industrial is graduated into light, special and heavy alongside the aviation district. A Recreation District covers roughly 71 acres and a Mixed Use district about 19. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
