College Station regulates land through 33 zoning districts, and the College And University district at roughly 5,491 acres is the third largest classification.
In a city whose name states its purpose, zoning the campus at over five thousand acres makes the institution the defining land use after rural and general suburban land.
The Middle Housing district at roughly 364 acres is the more current instrument. Naming middle housing as its own district gives the city an explicit category for forms between detached houses and apartments, which most cities handle through density limits.
The residential districts are named by character: Rural at roughly 9,771 acres, General Suburban at about 6,215, Restricted Suburban at roughly 726 and Estate at about 896, plus duplex, townhouse and two multifamily districts.
The Northgate districts cover the area adjoining campus, with a residential version at roughly 63 acres.
A Wolf Pen Creek district covers roughly 223 acres, naming a specific corridor, and a Natural Areas Protected district covers about 88.
General Commercial covers roughly 2,045 acres and a Planned Development District about 2,563.
Light industrial covers roughly 810 acres and a Commercial Industrial district about 135. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
