Richardson, 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. Richardson'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
PD Planned Development | - | 4,409.3 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-1500-M Residential District | - | 4,284.7 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-1100-M Residential District | - | 3,268.3 ac | Standards & uses → |

Richardson regulates land through 34 zoning districts, and nearly every code carries an M suffix. The residential districts appear as R followed by a lot area figure and then M: R-850-M, R-950-M, R-1000-M, R-1100-M, R-1250-M, R-1500-M, R-1800-M and R-2000-M.
That notation states the lot area premise in a hundreds scale and carries the suffix consistently, so R-1500-M is the largest residential district at roughly 4,285 acres and R-1100-M second at about 3,268.
The suffix appears on the commercial, office, industrial and apartment districts as well, so it is a citywide convention rather than a residential one.
One district combines floodplain with residential in a single code at roughly 79 acres, naming a constraint and a use together, and the industrial districts appear in both an M version and a floodplain version.
A Technical Office District covers roughly 241 acres, naming that employment format specifically alongside a general Office District at about 243.
A Residential Attached Townhome district covers roughly 109 acres and a Patio Home district about 73.
Planned Development is the largest classification at roughly 4,409 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
