What can I build on this property in Surprise?
It depends on the zoning district. Surprise's Land Development Ordinances establish base districts across four residential codes (RR, R-1, R-2, R-3), the Surprise Heritage District overlays (SHD-RO, SHD-CO, and related SHD-tagged variants), Traditional Neighborhood Development, three mixed-use districts (MU-1 through MU-3), three commercial districts (C-1 through C-3), three employment/industrial districts (I-1 through I-3) plus Business Park, two open space districts (OS-1, OS-2), Public Facilities (PF), and the planned-development vehicles PAD and PUD (LDO Chapter 106, Sec. 106-1.1 and Sec. 106-1.4). Roughly 40 percent of the city's mapped zoning by area is PAD, where the individual PAD document, not the base-district chart, controls. Start by confirming the parcel's zoning with Community Development, Planning and Zoning (623-222-3000) or the City's zoning map, then confirm the applicable use table in Chapter 106. This pack covers incorporated Surprise only; unincorporated Maricopa County land uses county zoning.
