Abilene, Texas 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.

AO Agricultural Open Space | - | 30,724.5 ac | Standards & uses → |

Abilene regulates land through 65 zoning districts, and the distinguishing mechanism is the Corridor Overlay, written into the district code as a suffix.
It appears combined with college and university, agricultural open space, planned development, general retail and general commercial districts, together covering roughly 833 acres. A parcel carrying the corridor overlay is governed by the combined designation, so the base category alone would miss the corridor standards.
Applying a corridor overlay to a college and university district is the notable case: it addresses the campus edge where it meets a main route.
Agricultural Open Space is the largest classification at roughly 30,725 acres, more than twice Planned Development at about 12,320.
The residential codes state lot size at 6, 8 and 12, with RS-6 the largest residential district at roughly 6,932 acres. A Residential Single Family Patio Home district covers roughly 512 acres, naming that housing form specifically.
Commercial is graduated from neighborhood retail through general retail to heavy and general commercial, together covering roughly 3,895 acres.
Heavy industrial covers roughly 2,274 acres and light industrial about 1,715. A College And University district covers roughly 290 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
