Parma, Ohio 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. Parma'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
SF-A Single Family House | - | 4,195.2 ac | Standards & uses → |
SF-AA Single Family House | - | 3,463.9 ac | Standards & uses → |
SF-B Single Family House | - | 2,253.7 ac | Standards & uses → |

Parma regulates land through only 17 zoning districts, and the residential system is lettered: Single Family House at A, AA and B, plus a plain single family district and a Single Family Cluster district.
SF-A is the largest district in the city at roughly 4,195 acres, with SF-AA at about 3,464 and SF-B at roughly 2,254. Together the single family districts cover close to ten thousand acres, the overwhelming majority of the city.
The Single Family Cluster district at roughly 113 acres gives the city a clustered-lot option as its own classification rather than through a variance.
The commercial manufacturing districts are the distinguishing pair. Coded CA and CB and covering roughly 331 acres between them, they combine commercial and manufacturing use in one classification, which most cities keep separate. A Research Manufacturing district at roughly 169 acres adds a third employment format.
An Automobile Parking district covers roughly five acres, zoning parking as a land use in its own right.
A Mixed Use district covers roughly 32 acres, small enough to suggest a recent addition rather than an established framework.
Retail Business covers roughly 507 acres and a Shopping Center district about 65. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
