Rock Hill regulates land through 32 zoning districts, and the Master Planned family is the distinguishing framework. Four districts carry it: Master Planned Residential at roughly 1,288 acres, Master Planned Business Industrial Park at about 793, Master Planned Commercial at roughly 784 and Master Planned College University at about 587.
Naming a master planned college and university district is uncommon, and at nearly six hundred acres it gives the institution its own plan-based framework rather than a general institutional designation.
Planned Unit Development covers roughly 1,706 acres with a residential variant at about 235, so plan-based regulation runs through the roster in two parallel systems.
Industry General is the largest classification at roughly 4,447 acres, with Industry Heavy at about 2,295. Industrial land leading the map reflects the city's manufacturing base.
The residential codes state a numbered standard at 2, 3, 4 and 5 for single family and 15 for multifamily. SF-3 is the largest residential district at roughly 3,828 acres.
Office And Institutional covers roughly 2,017 acres, the fifth largest classification.
Commercial runs neighborhood, limited, community and general, together covering roughly 2,668 acres, with a Downtown district at about 191. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
