Arlington, 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. Arlington'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 | Details |
|---|---|---|
APO-CC Community Commercial Airport Overlay | - | Standards & uses → |
APO-GC General Commercial Airport Overlay | - | Standards & uses → |
APO-IM Industrial Manufacturing Airport Overlay | - | Standards & uses → |
APO-LI Light Industrial Airport Overlay | - | Standards & uses → |

Arlington regulates land through 110 zoning districts, and almost the entire count comes from overlays written into the district codes.
The Airport Overlay is the most widespread. It appears combined with community commercial, general commercial, industrial manufacturing, light industrial, neighborhood commercial, office commercial, planned development, residential estate, residential medium density, residential multifamily and single family districts. Some combinations carry two designations at once, such as light industrial with both the airport overlay and planned development.
A Downtown Neighborhood Overlay appears on community commercial, general commercial and light industrial districts, and a Conservation District Overlay on a single family district.
That stacking is the key to diligence here. A parcel's full code can carry a base category plus an overlay plus a planned development designation, and each contributes standards. Reading only the base district would miss most of what applies.
The base categories underneath are conventional: community, general, neighborhood and office commercial, light industrial and industrial manufacturing, business park, downtown business, residential estate, residential single family at 5 and 7.2, residential medium density at 12 and residential multifamily at 22.
The residential numbers state lot size for single family and units per acre for multifamily, so the notation changes between the two series. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Arlington zoning: frequently asked questions
Why does Arlington have 110 zoning districts?
Almost the entire count comes from overlays written into the district codes. The Airport Overlay alone combines with eleven different base categories, and some combinations carry two designations at once.
Can two designations stack?
Yes. Light industrial appears with both the airport overlay and planned development, and planned development appears with the airport overlay and a multifamily district. Each designation contributes standards.
What overlays does the city use?
An Airport Overlay applied across commercial, industrial and residential districts, a Downtown Neighborhood Overlay on commercial and light industrial districts, and a Conservation District Overlay on a single family district.
How do the residential numbers work?
They state lot size for single family districts, at 5 and 7.2, and units per acre for multifamily, at 22, with residential medium density at 12. The notation changes between the two series.
What does this mean for reading a site's zoning?
The base category alone is not sufficient. A parcel's full code can carry a base district plus an overlay plus a planned development designation, and all of them apply.
