Edison, New Jersey 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. Edison'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
R-B Residential District | - | 3,862.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
L-I Light Industrial District | - | 3,277.1 ac | Standards & uses → |
RRRD Raritan River Revitalization District | - | 2,859.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-A Residential District | - | 2,046.3 ac | Standards & uses → |

Edison regulates land through 38 zoning districts, and the Raritan River Revitalization District at roughly 2,860 acres is the third largest classification in the township.
A revitalization district covering nearly three thousand acres is a very large redevelopment framework, and its scale means a substantial share of Edison is governed by that plan rather than by the conventional districts.
The residential districts are lettered rather than numbered, running R-A, R-AA, R-B and R-BB, with suffixed variants for townhouse development and for planned residential and planned unit development. R-B is the largest district in the township at roughly 3,862 acres.
Those suffixes matter: a townhouse variant and a planned variant of the same lettered district are separate classifications with their own standards.
A Golf Course district covers roughly 336 acres as its own classification, and an Open Space Recreation Conservation district covers about 1,469.
The employment side is well differentiated: Light Industrial at roughly 3,277 acres, a Research Office And Laboratory district at about 271, a Restricted Industry district at roughly 143, an Office Service district at about 149 and a Flexible Business Zone at roughly 168. Naming a flexible business zone explicitly gives the township a category for uses that do not fit the others.
An Educational Institutional district covers roughly 305 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
