Fayetteville regulates land through 38 zoning districts, and the largest by an enormous margin is Fort Bragg Military Reservation at roughly 34,945 acres, nearly twice the largest residential district.
Zoning a military installation as its own district at that scale, and adding a Military And Airport district at about 1,240 acres, states plainly what dominates this city's land.
The conditional zoning suffix is the organising mechanism elsewhere, appearing on mixed residential, mixed use, single family, business park and community commercial districts, together covering roughly 1,567 acres. In North Carolina a conditional district carries terms negotiated for that specific site.
The residential codes state lot size at 6, 10 and 15, with SF-10 the largest residential district at roughly 19,287 acres. A Mixed Residential district at 5 covers about 3,834 acres, giving the city a substantial mixed housing category.
A Universities And Colleges district covers roughly 986 acres and a Planned Neighborhood district about 1,535.
Heavy Industrial covers roughly 3,056 acres and light industrial about 319.
A Conservation District covers roughly 776 acres, and Downtown is zoned through numbered districts with the second covering about 286. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
