Southaven, Mississippi 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. Southaven's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.
| Zone Code | Category | Area | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
A Agricultural | - | 8,529.5 ac | Standards & uses → |
PUD Planned Unit Development | - | 7,580.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-9 Single Family Medium Density Residential | - | 2,364.5 ac | Standards & uses → |
PBP Planned Business Park | - | 1,701.8 ac | Standards & uses → |

Southaven regulates land through 23 zoning districts, and the two largest are Agricultural at roughly 8,530 acres and Planned Unit Development at about 7,580. Between them they cover the great majority of the city.
That pairing describes a city in transition: a large stock of not yet converted agricultural land, and a development framework that runs almost entirely through approved plans rather than citywide tables.
The residential system states lot size in the code, running R-6, R-8, R-9, R-10, R-12, R-20 and R-30, with R-9 the largest at roughly 2,364 acres. Multiple family runs RM-6 and RM-8, and a combined district covering both appears at roughly 20 acres. A combined district of that kind is unusual and lets the city apply two densities to one area.
An Estate Residential district covers roughly 1,021 acres at the low intensity end.
A Planned Business Park covers roughly 1,702 acres and a Planned Commercial district about 1,367, so the employment and retail sides also run through planned frameworks.
An Overlay district covers roughly 202 acres as its own classification rather than being written into other district codes, which is a different convention from most cities in this dataset.
Industrial runs light at roughly 731 acres and heavy at about 256. Two office districts cover roughly 101 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Southaven zoning: frequently asked questions
What do the two largest districts tell you about Southaven?
Agricultural at roughly 8,530 acres and Planned Unit Development at about 7,580 together cover most of the city. That describes a place in transition, with a large stock of unconverted land and a development framework running through approved plans.
How is residential density coded?
By lot size, running R-6, R-8, R-9, R-10, R-12, R-20 and R-30, with R-9 the largest at roughly 2,364 acres. Multiple family runs RM-6 and RM-8.
What is the combined multiple family district?
A district covering roughly 20 acres that applies both the RM-6 and RM-8 densities to one area. Combined districts of that kind are unusual and give the city flexibility within a single designation.
How do the employment districts work?
Through planned frameworks: a Planned Business Park at roughly 1,702 acres and a Planned Commercial district at about 1,367, alongside light industrial at roughly 731 acres and heavy at about 256.
How does Southaven handle overlays?
Through a single Overlay district covering roughly 202 acres as its own classification, rather than writing overlay designations into other district codes as most cities in this dataset do.
