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

SF-5 Single Family Residential | - | 47,069.3 ac | Standards & uses → |
LI Limited Industrial | - | 11,170.8 ac | Standards & uses → |

Wichita regulates land through 23 zoning districts, and the concentration is extreme: Single Family Residential coded SF-5 covers roughly 47,069 acres, more than four times the next largest classification.
That one district effectively is residential Wichita. A second single family district at SF-10 covers only about 20 acres, so the city has not graduated its detached housing into a ladder the way most comparable cities have.
Multifamily is handled through three districts. Two are numbered by density, at 18 and 29, and a third is coded simply B, covering roughly 2,154 acres. The B district is the largest multifamily classification, which is unusual since it carries no density figure in its code.
Limited Industrial is the second largest district in the city at roughly 11,171 acres, an exceptionally large industrial footprint that reflects the aviation manufacturing base. General Industrial adds about 2,085 acres, an Industrial Park roughly 373, and an Industrial Park Airport district about 91. An Air Force Base district covers roughly 58 acres.
Commercial runs limited at roughly 5,501 acres, general at about 2,361, neighborhood retail at roughly 75, and a central business district at about 474. A Manufactured Housing district covers roughly 1,128 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
