Green Bay, Wisconsin 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. Green Bay's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.

City Context

How is Green Bay zoned?

Green Bay regulates land through 26 zoning districts, and one detail rewards attention: two districts are both named Commercial One, coded C1 at roughly 848 acres and C at about 484.

Having two separately coded districts share a name means the code rather than the description identifies which applies, and confusing them would misstate the standards.

The commercial series otherwise runs C2 and C3, with a Business Related Retail district at roughly 58 acres naming a specific retail relationship.

The Executive Office districts, lettered A and B and covering roughly 174 acres together, name an office format rather than an intensity.

An Entertainment District covers roughly 59 acres, naming that use explicitly.

The residential districts are numbered 1 and 3, with R3 described as Varied Density Residential at roughly 1,367 acres. Naming a district varied density states that mixed housing forms are contemplated rather than one.

A Rural Residential district covers roughly 4,176 acres, the second largest classification, and R1 low density covers about 11,482.

General Industry covers roughly 3,773 acres with light manufacturing at about 824 and light industry at roughly 231.

A Conservancy district covers roughly 603 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
