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

|---|---|---|---|
NC-15 Neighborhood Conservation | - | 2,328.5 ac | Standards & uses → |
CG Commercial General | - | 1,653.7 ac | Standards & uses → |

Florence regulates land through 22 zoning districts, and the Neighborhood Conservation series is the residential framework. Six districts carry that name, numbered 4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 10 and 15, together covering roughly 5,133 acres.
The decimal numbering within the 6 band is distinctive: NC-6.1, NC-6.2 and NC-6.3 are three separate districts sharing an intensity level but not their standards. Establishing the decimal is therefore essential, not optional.
Naming the primary residential framework conservation rather than by density states an intent to maintain existing neighborhoods.
Two districts name an intent rather than a use: a Destination Select Use district at roughly 194 acres and a Commercial Reuse district at about 150. A commercial reuse designation gives the city a standing tool for repurposing existing commercial buildings rather than handling each case individually.
A Campus district covers roughly 1,196 acres, the fifth largest classification, and an Activity Center district about 433.
The General Residential districts run low, medium and high density covering roughly 1,496 acres, with suburban and urban residential districts adding about 191.
Open Space And Recreation covers roughly 1,643 acres and Commercial General about 1,654. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
