How is Casper zoned?
Casper regulates land through 19 zoning districts, and the largest is Park Historic at roughly 2,595 acres.
Combining park and historic designations in one district is uncommon, and at that scale it is the defining classification on the city's map, ahead of every residential district.
The residential districts are numbered 1 through 6 and named by unit count rather than density: R-1 residential estate, R-2 one unit, R-3 one to four unit, R-4 high density, R-5 mixed residential and R-6 manufactured mobile home park. Naming R-3 as one to four unit states the permitted range directly rather than through a density figure.
The Old Yellowstone District And South Poplar Street Corridor district at roughly 97 acres names two specific places in one classification.
An Urban Agriculture district covers roughly 396 acres, naming agriculture within the city rather than at its edge.
An Educational District covers roughly 554 acres and a Hospital Medical district about 52.
General industrial covers roughly 2,250 acres and limited industrial about 463.
The business ladder runs limited at roughly 25 acres, general at about 1,119, central at roughly 91 and highway at about 263, with an Office Business district at roughly two. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
