    Zoning Map & Ordinance

    City Zoning Map and corresponding Ordinance

    Building & Zoning  |  Zoning Map  |  Zoning Ordinance (PDF)

    The City’s Zoning Ordinance and Map are designed to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the community by establishing minimum regulations for development and use.  The main categories of zoning districts in Three Rivers are: Business (B), Industrial (I), and Residential (R) …as well as our Airport (A).  With the exception of the city’s airport, each main category has three or more specific zones (e.g., B-2, or R-3).  Collectively, these zones (as shown below) comprise a total of 14 Zoning Districts with specific zoning and zoning-related regulations established for each; links to specific districts are provided in the bulleted list (below), and our Schedule of Regulations for all zoning districts is provided HERE; refer to Chart 3.

    • Business Districts:  B-1, B-2, B-3
    • City Airport District:  A
    • Industrial Districts & Parks:  I-1, I-2 & I-3, I-4
    • Residential Districts:  R-2 thru R-5, R-MH

    …or refer to entire Zoning Ordinance (City Code Ch. 30) — also available as a separate, 97-page PDF: here.

    Alternatively, a list of all addresses (and parcel ID#s) within the city can be searched .. or you can submit an email with your address or parcel number.  Especially for unique properties involving more than one zoning district, you may also request a parcel zoning verification letter be sent to you for your records.  Please allow 5 business days for processing.

    Please note: rezoning and other ordinances affecting zoning designations can be found on iCompass (here), and earlier zoning maps for the City (e.g., from 2017) are still available: here (or in .png format), as is our zoning code cheat sheet.

     

    If you have questions about a specific property, please contact the city’s zoning official (269-729-9244) or GIS office (273-1845).

    About Three Rivers
    About Three Rivers

    The City of Three Rivers is located approximately 20 miles south of Kalamazoo, MI. We were founded by settlers who used the Three Rivers to transport goods. The St. Joseph River and the Portage & Rocky Rivers all converge near the city center, making this area an ideal location for trading and commerce.

    Today, we continue to enjoy the many benefits of living in such a great location. We invite you to visit and fish our many lakes, kayak our rivers, play in our parks, and enjoy the cultural benefits of having such a richly diverse community.
