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

|---|---|---|---|
SFR-4 Single Family Residential 4 Dwelling Units Per Gross Acre | - | 5,467.2 ac | Standards & uses → |
SFR-6 Single Family Residential 6 Dwelling Units Per Gross Acre | - | 2,082.7 ac | Standards & uses → |

Medford regulates land through only 17 zoning districts, and every residential district states its density in dwelling units per gross acre directly in the name.
Single family runs at 2, 4, 6 and 10 units per gross acre, and multiple family at 15, 20 and 30. SFR-4 is the largest district in the city at roughly 5,467 acres. Using gross acre rather than net is a meaningful distinction, since it accounts for streets and other non-buildable area within a site.
One district breaks the pattern usefully: SFR-00, described as one dwelling unit per existing lot, covering roughly 1,695 acres. That designation preserves an existing lot pattern rather than setting a density, which is a different regulatory purpose from the numbered districts.
The commercial ladder runs neighborhood, community, regional and heavy, together covering roughly 2,127 acres, with a combined Commercial Service And Professional Office district at about 613.
Industrial splits into light at roughly 2,020 acres, general at about 641 and heavy at roughly 269.
Public Parks covers roughly 665 acres.
With seventeen districts and density stated in every residential name, this is one of the more legible rosters in the dataset. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
