Anaheim's zoning code organizes the city into 31 districts spanning residential, commercial, industrial, office, open-space, and public-recreational uses. Two of the largest footprints are Industrial (I, roughly 1,900 acres) and General Commercial (C-G, roughly 1,250 acres), reflecting Anaheim's role as a regional employment and retail center alongside its tourism core.
Residential options run a wide range. Single-Family Hillside districts (RH-1, RH-2, RH-3) govern the lower-density eastern hill areas, while a deep Multiple-Family inventory (RM-1 through RM-4) supports apartments and condominiums - RM-4 alone covers about 1,780 acres, one of the clearest signals of as-of-right multifamily capacity in the city for developers and investors.
What you can actually build on a given parcel depends on its district plus Anaheim's dimensional controls - floor-area ratio, lot, density, coverage, and width standards all apply. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
