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

|---|---|---|---|
RS-5 Residential Single Family | - | 2,012 ac | Standards & uses → |
R/OS Recreation And Open Space | - | 1,453.2 ac | Standards & uses → |
I-1 Light Industrial | - | 1,147.2 ac | Standards & uses → |

Sunrise regulates land through 18 zoning districts, a compact roster, and it is led by Residential Single Family at roughly 2,012 acres with Recreation And Open Space second at about 1,453.
The residential system is numbered simply: single family at 3, 5 and 7, and multifamily at 10, 16 and 25. The multifamily districts together cover roughly 1,774 acres, which is close to the single family total and gives Sunrise a notably balanced housing profile for a suburban city.
The distinctive element is the Sawgrass district family. Two districts are named for that area, an office district and a mixed use district, together covering under forty acres but separately designated. Naming a specific business area in the zoning roster signals that the city regulates it as its own planning problem rather than through generic business categories.
The business ladder runs community business, general business, professional office and the two Sawgrass districts, with a general business overlay district alongside. Light Industrial covers roughly 1,147 acres, a substantial employment footprint that nearly matches the general business district at about 1,146.
Planned Unit Development covers roughly 856 acres and a Planned Development District about 125. Commercial Recreation covers roughly 94 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
