Base district · planned · City of Mesa AZ
Planned Community. Uses, densities and standards are set by the adopted Community Plan, which IS the zoning for the property. Minimum 160 contiguous acres
Every verdict below is the base-district answer read out of the ordinance of record, with the section that says so. A use with no row is shown as unknown rather than folded into “no”.

A blank cell means this dataset carries no number for that standard — read it as “go and look”, not as zero.
| Standard | Value | Field |
|---|---|---|
| Floor area ratio (FAR) | — | far |
| Maximum height | — | max_height_ft |
| Maximum site coverage | — | site_coverage |
| Minimum lot area | 6,969,600 sf | min_lot_area_sf |
| Minimum lot width | — | min_lot_width_ft |
| Minimum lot area per dwelling unit | — | min_lot_area_per_du_sf |
| Maximum density | — | max_du_per_acre_derived |
| Front setback | — | setback_front_ft |
| Street-side setback | — | setback_side_street_ft |
| Interior side setback | — | setback_side_interior_ft |
| Rear setback | — | setback_rear_ft |
Dimensional standards from MZO 11-11-2.
Standards notes. min_lot_area_sf is the 160-contiguous-acre district minimum (160 x 43,560), not a lot standard. PC is the one place in Title 11 where Floor Area Ratio is used: 11-11-2(C)(2)(d) makes FAR the measure of intensity for mixed and non-residential land uses in the Community Plan land use budget. A Development Unit Plan and Development Plan Review are required before any parcel develops
No district in this dataset publishes a floor area ratio: intensity in this code is governed by lot coverage, height and — for residential — density or minimum lot area per dwelling unit. See the metro page for the provenance note on that.
Run the envelope this district allows, free, in about a minute — lot area, FAR or height, and the residual land value it supports.
The quick screen is free and needs no account. The sample study is the seven-page deliverable the Feasibility Desk produces.
base district only; overlay geometry not checked — an Airfield or Form-Based Code designation can flip answers
This is a base-district reading of the ordinance text, transcribed from the source below. It is not a Zoning Verification Letter, not a determination by the jurisdiction, not legal advice, and not a substitute for asking the planning department about a specific parcel. Overlays, recorded plan conditions, rezoning stipulations and parcel geometry are not checked here, and any one of them can change the answer on this page.
Verify locally before you spend money. Call the planning counter, pull the parcel's zoning-map designation and its case history, and confirm the section cited above still reads the way it reads here.
