    Pasadena’s zoning designation are divided between residential (R) districts and commercial districts (C or I).

    • A land use regulation designator (i.e. RS, RM, CG, etc.), indicating the principal land uses permitted or conditionally permitted in each district, is a component of all zoning designations.
    • A residential units/acre designator (i.e. 16, 32, 48 units per acre), indicating permitted dwelling unit densities exclusive of any bonuses, is a required component of all residential zoning designations.
    • A CD, ECSP, EPSP, FGSP, or WGSP indicates applicable Specific Plan designation and is a required component of all such zoning designations.
    • Overlay district designators shall be included in a zoning designation if the provisions of one or more overlay districts are applicable to a site.
