Mount Vernon, New York 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. Mount Vernon'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
R1-7 One Family Residence | - | 543.5 ac | Standards & uses → |
RMF-6.75 Multifamily Residence | - | 515.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
R2-4.5 Two Family Residence | - | 372.7 ac | Standards & uses → |

Run it →How is Mount Vernon zoned?
Mount Vernon regulates land through 19 zoning districts, and the residential codes state a numeric standard directly: one family residence at 3.6, 4.5 and 7, two family at 4.5, and multifamily at 6.75, 10 and 15.
Those decimal figures are genuine district identities rather than sequence numbers, and the multifamily series in particular gives the city three graduated steps.
The Mount Vernon West districts are the distinguishing framework. Five of them cover transit oriented development around that station, distinguished as hospital, corridor, corridor and transition, and non commercial variants of two of those. Together they cover roughly 51 acres.
Building five separate districts for one station area, including a hospital-specific one and two non commercial variants, is unusually fine-grained. It means the city has planned that area parcel by parcel rather than applying a single transit designation.
A Landscaped Industrial district at roughly 20 acres is worth noting: naming an industrial district by its landscaping requirement states a design expectation in the district itself.
The business ladder runs neighborhood, commercial, downtown and office business, together covering roughly 364 acres.
A separate Hospital district covers roughly nine acres alongside the transit oriented hospital district. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
