Amarillo, 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. Amarillo'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
A Agricultural | - | 14,731.3 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-1 Residential District 1 | - | 13,197.7 ac | Standards & uses → |
I-1 Light Industrial | - | 10,076.9 ac | Standards & uses → |

Amarillo has 655 zoning districts, and two mechanisms produce that count.
The first is individually numbered planned development districts. They appear as PD followed by a number, and sometimes a letter suffix, with each approved project becoming its own district.
The second is the Specific Use Permit, written into the district code. Districts appear as a base category combined with an S and a number, so moderate density with specific use permit 207 and residential district 3 with specific use permit 2 are separate districts. That notation records the permit number in the zoning itself, which means the code points to a specific approval document.
The conventional roster underneath is short. Agricultural is the largest classification at roughly 14,731 acres, with Residential District 1 at about 13,198 and Light Industrial at roughly 10,077.
The residential districts are numbered 1 through 3 with multiple family at 1 and 2 and a Moderate Density district at roughly 430 acres.
Commercial runs light at roughly 3,479 acres, heavy at about 3,592 and general retail at roughly 2,652, with a Central Business district at about 300.
A Manufactured Home District covers roughly 880 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
