Zoning & Permitted Uses

In the FAQ accordion below, you will find definitions for each of Nixa’s current zoning types.

To learn more about the city’s current comprehensive plan or to view city maps including zoned areas, select a button below.

Zoning Abbreviation Definitions

City Center (CC)

Commercial activities (particularly those that are pedestrian-oriented) that will result in the most intensive and attractive use of the city’s central business district.

General Commercial (GC)

Accommodates the widest range of commercial activities.

Neighborhood Commercial (NC)

Commercial development on a scale that is less intensive than the permitted CC district. The lesser intensity of development is achieved through setback, height, and minimum lot size requirements that are more restrictive than those applicable to the CC zone. The NC district may provide a transition in some areas of the city.

Agricultural (AG)

Single-family residential development areas in the city limits that are not yet served by public water or sewer facilities and that are not yet appropriate for development at higher densities. Once public water and sewer facilities have been made available, residences in this district will be able to hook on by following the requirements. This area is also more suitable for uses that would have a negative impact on more dense residential areas. Mobile home parks are permissible in this district with a special use permit.
Highway Commercial (HC)

Commercial activities that draw business primarily from and provide services primarily to the U.S. Highway 160 and Missouri Highway 14 corridor

Light Industrial (M1)

To accommodate enterprises engaged in the manufacturing, processing, creating, repairing, renovating, painting, cleaning, or assembling of goods, merchandise, or equipment

Transitional Office (O)

A mixture of uses (office, clerical, research, services, etc.). It is intended that this zoning classification be applied primarily in areas that no longer are viable as single-family residential areas because of high traffic volumes on adjacent streets or because of other market factors but remain viable as locations for office-oriented developments. Such areas will also generally constitute transition or buffer zones between major arterials or more intensively developed commercial areas and residential districts.

Residential 1 (R1)

Single-family detached residential uses (other than mobile homes) at lower densities in areas served by public water and sewer facilities. The R-1 zone districts have a minimum lot size requirement of 6,600 square feet.

Residential 3 (R3)

Higher density multifamily developments. Single-family attached and two-family uses can occur only in the form of planned residential or planned unit developments. The “3” stands for 3,000 square feet minimum lot size per family.

Residential 4 (R4)

Single-family attached (patio homes with zero lot lines) and two-family. Multifamily uses can occur only in the form of planned residential or planned unit developments. The “4” stands for 4,000 square feet minimum lot size per family.

Residential 5 (R5)

Medium-density multifamily townhouse developments. Single-family attached and two-family uses can occur only in the form of planned residential or planned unit developments. The “5” stands for 5,000 square feet minimum lot size per family.
