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

|---|---|---|---|
R1-15 One Family Residence | - | 1,208.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
R1-10A One Family Residence | - | 1,002.3 ac | Standards & uses → |

New Rochelle regulates land through 37 zoning districts, and the residential codes state lot size for single family and floor area ratio for multifamily.
One family residence districts run at 7.5, 10, 10A, 15 and 20, with the 15 district the largest in the city at roughly 1,209 acres. Multifamily districts run at 0.4, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.3, where the decimal is a floor area ratio rather than a lot size. Two different conventions in one roster means the number has to be read against the district type.
Three districts address the waterfront: a Water Related district at roughly 97 acres, a one family waterfront residential district at about 68, and a Planned Waterfront Development district specifying eight stories at roughly 78. Writing a height limit into a district name is unusually direct.
A One Family Historic Residence district covers roughly 169 acres, applying historic standards within the single family ladder rather than through a separate overlay.
Downtown carries a Large Scale Retail district at roughly 80 acres alongside a Downtown Business district at about 64.
A North Avenue district at roughly 42 acres names a specific corridor. Recreation Open Space covers roughly 921 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
