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

|---|---|---|---|
R-1 Single Family Residential | - | 10,914.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
SC Conservation | - | 5,945.1 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-4 Multiple Family Residential | - | 457.5 ac | Standards & uses → |

Bloomington regulates land through 33 zoning districts, and the second largest is Conservation at roughly 5,945 acres, behind only Single Family Residential at about 10,915.
A conservation district of that size, covering more than a third as much land as all residential zoning, reflects the river valley and wetland within the city and is the essential context for any site search here.
The Freeway districts are the distinguishing family. Bloomington carries a Freeway Office district at roughly 365 acres, a Freeway Development district at about 88 and a Freeway Commercial Center at roughly 53. Zoning freeway-adjacent land through three separate categories, distinguished by intended use, is a precise approach to the corridors that shape the city.
An Innovation And Technology district covers roughly 114 acres, naming that employment type explicitly, and a High Intensity Mixed Use With Residential district covers about 112.
The multiple family districts are numbered by density at 12, 24 and 50, together covering roughly 353 acres, with a further multiple family district at about 458.
Industrial runs limited at roughly 292 acres, general at about 350 and an industrial park at roughly 451. Commercial is differentiated across neighborhood, regional, service and office categories. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
