Hampton, Virginia 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. Hampton's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.
| Zone Code | Category | Area | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
R-13 One Family Residential | - | 8,746.8 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-11 One Family Residential | - | 8,529.1 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-9 One Family Residential | - | 3,218.9 ac | Standards & uses → |
PO-1 Parks And Open Space General | - | 1,875.7 ac | Standards & uses → |

Hampton regulates land through 45 zoning districts, and four of them are named for the Langley airfield: Langley Flight Approach Manufacturing at roughly 369 acres, Langley Flight Approach Hampton Roads Center at about 164, Langley Flight Approach Limited Business at roughly 386, and a Langley Business Park at about 214.
Naming a flight approach in the district identity, and pairing it with three different use categories, means the city regulates the approach path itself and varies what is permitted beneath it.
The Hampton Roads Center districts, north and south, cover roughly 662 acres together, naming a specific business area.
The residential codes state a numeric standard at 8, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 33, with R-13 the largest at roughly 8,747 acres and R-11 close behind at about 8,529. The R-8 district covers two family residential, so the number does not imply a single housing form across the series.
Multifamily appears as MD-2 and MD-4 covering roughly 296 acres, plus a general Multiple Residential district at about 1,498.
Parks And Open Space General covers roughly 1,876 acres, the fourth largest classification.
Heavy manufacturing covers roughly 735 acres, light about 389 and limited roughly 210. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Hampton zoning: frequently asked questions
What are the Langley Flight Approach districts?
Three districts pairing the flight approach with different use categories: manufacturing at roughly 369 acres, limited business at about 386, and a Hampton Roads Center version at roughly 164, plus a Langley Business Park at about 214.
Why does that matter?
Because the city regulates the approach path itself and varies what is permitted beneath it. A parcel under the approach is governed by the flight approach district rather than the plain equivalent.
How is residential density coded?
By a numeric standard at 8, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 33, with R-13 the largest at roughly 8,747 acres. The R-8 district covers two family residential, so the number does not imply a single housing form.
What are the Hampton Roads Center districts?
North and south versions covering roughly 662 acres together, naming a specific business area rather than applying a general commercial or office designation.
How much park and open space is there?
Parks And Open Space General covers roughly 1,876 acres, the fourth largest classification in the city.
