High Point, North Carolina 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.

R-3 Residential Single Family 3 | - | 8,779 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-5 Residential Single Family 5 | - | 7,256.1 ac | Standards & uses → |

High Point regulates land through 61 zoning districts, and two conditional prefixes run through the roster: CU for conditional use and CZ for conditional zoning.
Both appear on multiple base districts. Conditional use versions cover light industrial and single family at 3, while conditional zoning versions cover multifamily at 16, single family at 5, an employment center, light industrial and institutional. Together the conditional districts cover roughly 3,798 acres.
Establishing which of the two conditional forms applies is a real diligence step, since they are separate designations with different procedural histories.
The planned development family names its type: Planned Unit Development Residential at roughly 1,123 acres, Planned Unit Development Mixed at about 450 and Planned Development Periphery at roughly 937. Naming a periphery planned district identifies where the city manages its edge.
The residential codes state density at 3, 5 and 7 for single family and 5 and 16 for multifamily. R-3 is the largest district at roughly 8,779 acres.
Parks And Natural Resources covers roughly 3,475 acres, the third largest classification.
Light industrial covers roughly 2,944 acres and heavy industrial about 2,164. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
