How is Laramie zoned?
Laramie regulates land through 21 zoning districts, and aviation accounts for two of them: an Aviation district at roughly 816 acres and an Airport Enterprise district at about 678.
Together they cover nearly fifteen hundred acres, and naming one airport enterprise rather than airport industrial identifies the intended commercial character of the land around the airfield rather than only its industrial use.
The residential districts use two conventions at once. R1, R2 and R3 cover low, medium density and multifamily, while a separate LR district also covers low density residential at roughly 649 acres. Having both R1 and LR describe low density residential means the code rather than the description identifies which applies.
The R2M district at roughly 265 acres is the more unusual classification, covering limited multifamily with independent manufactured homes. Combining those two housing forms in one district is uncommon and gives the city a specific category for that mix.
A Technology And Office district covers roughly 149 acres, naming the intended sector.
An Open Zone covers roughly 541 acres.
Agriculture is the largest classification at roughly 1,867 acres, and a Rural Residential district covers about 344.
General business covers roughly 891 acres and limited business about 615. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
