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

|---|---|---|---|
RS6 Single Family Residential | - | 8,141.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
IL Light Industrial | - | 3,168.6 ac | Standards & uses → |

Nampa regulates land through 30 zoning districts, and the residential codes state lot size: RS4, RS6, RS7, RS8.5, RS18 and RS22. RS6 is the largest district in the city at roughly 8,142 acres, more than four times the next residential district.
The distinctive district is Enclave at roughly 2,766 acres, the third largest classification. An enclave designation covers unincorporated pockets surrounded by the city, and at that scale it is a genuine feature of Nampa's geography rather than a technicality. A site in an enclave sits inside the city's boundary but is not governed by a conventional city district.
The Gateway Business districts, numbered 1 and 2 and together covering roughly 877 acres, are a corridor-specific commercial framework rather than a generic business category.
Two institutional districts cover single anchors: University at roughly 192 acres and Healthcare at about 107. Zoning each separately makes their footprints explicit.
Light Industrial is the second largest district at roughly 3,169 acres, with heavy industrial at about 640 and an industrial park district at roughly 528. Community Business covers roughly 1,943 acres. A two family duplex district covers about 1,116 acres, giving real middle-density capacity, and two multiple family districts add roughly 966 more. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Nampa zoning: frequently asked questions
What is the Enclave district in Nampa?
A designation covering roughly 2,766 acres, the third largest classification in the city. It covers unincorporated pockets surrounded by the city, so a parcel there sits inside the boundary but is not governed by a conventional city district.
What do the numbers in Nampa's residential codes mean?
They state lot size. The series runs RS4, RS6, RS7, RS8.5, RS18 and RS22, with RS6 the largest district in the city at roughly 8,142 acres.
What are the Gateway Business districts?
Two corridor-specific commercial districts, numbered 1 and 2, together covering roughly 877 acres. They regulate their corridors specifically rather than applying a generic business designation.
Are the university and hospital zoned separately?
Yes. A University district covers roughly 192 acres and a Healthcare district about 107. Zoning each separately makes their footprints explicit on the map rather than folding them into institutional land.
How much middle-density housing capacity is there?
A two family duplex district covers roughly 1,116 acres, with limited and general multiple family districts adding about 966 more. That gives Nampa genuine capacity between detached houses and apartments.
