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

LDR-5 Low Density Residential 5 | - | 4,384.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
LDR-7 Low Density Residential 7 | - | 2,329.9 ac | Standards & uses → |

Gresham regulates land through 43 zoning districts, and the distinguishing mechanism is the place suffix. Districts carry suffixes naming Springwater, Pleasant Valley and Kelley Creek Headwaters, applied to residential and industrial base categories.
Springwater alone appears on very low density residential, low density residential, industrial and a research technology industrial district, together covering roughly 1,459 acres. Pleasant Valley appears on low and medium density residential covering about 861 acres.
Those suffixes mark areas brought into the city under specific plans, so a parcel there is governed by the combined designation rather than the plain base district.
The residential codes state lot size at 5 and 7 for low density and units per acre at 12 and 24 for moderate density. LDR-5 is the largest district at roughly 4,384 acres.
The transit framework is well developed: a Transit Low Density Residential district at roughly 362 acres, a Station Center at about 123, a Downtown Transit Mid Rise district at roughly 116 and a Corridor Multifamily district at about 580. Naming a transit low density residential district is unusual, since transit zoning normally implies intensity.
A Rockwood Town Center district covers roughly 157 acres. General Industrial covers about 1,798 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
