New Braunfels regulates land through 37 zoning districts, and two of them name the visitor economy: a Resort Commercial District at roughly 221 acres and a Resort Facilities District at about 163.
Splitting resort into commercial and facilities categories is a finer distinction than most cities make, and it reflects a city whose rivers draw substantial visitor traffic.
The Agricultural And Pre Development District at roughly 3,793 acres is the largest classification. Naming it pre development rather than simply agricultural states directly that the land is expected to convert, which is more informative than a holding designation.
A Zero Lot Line Home District covers roughly 683 acres, a substantial figure that makes that form a mainstream category.
The residential districts run single family at several standards including a 6.6 and a small lot version at 4, single and two family at two levels, and multifamily at full and low density.
A Conventional And Manufactured Home District at roughly 148 acres pairs two housing types in one classification.
A High Intensity Mixed Use District covers roughly 477 acres.
Light industrial appears in two districts covering roughly 3,797 acres together, with heavy industrial at about 694. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
