Kenosha, Wisconsin 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.

IP Institutional Park | - | 3,341.7 ac | Standards & uses → |

Kenosha regulates land through 31 zoning districts, and the Traditional districts are the distinguishing pair: Traditional Single And Two Family Residential at roughly 127 acres and Traditional Multiple Family Residential at about 205.
Naming two districts traditional applies standards written for the older fabric rather than the general residential categories, and pairing single with two family in one of them describes the historic pattern accurately.
The conservancy districts are split by terrain: Upland Resource Conservancy at roughly 141 acres and Lowland Resource Conservancy at about 94. Distinguishing upland from lowland conservancy is a precise ecological distinction that most cities do not make.
The Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood district at roughly 106 acres names a specific redevelopment area and states its intended character.
The residential districts run RS-1 through RS-3 single family covering roughly 3,392 acres, RG-1 and RG-2 general residential at about 1,370, RM-2 multiple family at roughly 859, RD two family at about 101, and rural residential at RR-2 suburban and RR-3 urban.
An Institutional Park district is the largest classification at roughly 3,342 acres.
A Floodway district covers roughly 719 acres and an Agricultural Land Holding district about 593. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
