Huntington, West Virginia 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. Huntington'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 |
|---|---|---|---|
R-1 Single Family Residence | - | 3,628.8 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-2 Single Family Residence | - | 1,424.6 ac | Standards & uses → |
I-1 General Light Industrial And Commercial | - | 762.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
R-5 Multifamily Residence | - | 505 ac | Standards & uses → |

Huntington regulates land through only nine zoning districts, one of the shortest rosters in this dataset, and the framework is minimal by design.
The residential districts are numbered 1, 2, 4 and 5, skipping 3: single family at 1 and 2, two family at 4 and multifamily at 5. R-1 is the largest district at roughly 3,629 acres, more than twice R-2 at about 1,425.
The gap in the numbering is a small detail but it means the sequence cannot be read as a continuous ladder.
The commercial districts run neighborhood at roughly 343 acres, highway at about 483 and central business at roughly 160.
The industrial districts are the more interesting pair. I-1 is described as General Light Industrial And Commercial, combining two categories, and covers roughly 762 acres, while I-2 heavy industrial covers about 307. Combining light industrial with commercial in one district gives the city a flexible employment category, and it is the third largest classification.
With nine districts and no mixed use, planned development or overlay categories, Huntington regulates almost entirely through the dimensional standards attached to a short list of use categories. That makes the standards the whole of the analysis on any site. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
