Land located in the north CZ is also zoned residential. The majority,
14.05 acres, is zoned Single‐Family Residential, Medium Density, while
0.26 acres are zoned Single‐Family Residential, Low Density. These zoning
designations are incompatible with the land use recommendations for the
CZ.
The South APZ I is zoned to allow various business and residential uses. All
residential uses are incompatible with APZ I. Although the Community
Business (CB), Limited Business (LB), and Neighborhood Business (NB) zoning
designations primarily allow business services and commercial uses, each
zoning district permits single‐family residences, which are incompatible, and
the Community Business zoning district permits multi‐family residences,
which are also incompatible.
The North APZ I on Goat Island is zoned Single‐Family Residential, Low
Density. Single family residential is not compatible in APZ I regardless of
density.
Compatibility is based on land use and not the zoning district since each
zoning district allows multiple land uses. An assessment of land uses in the
zoning districts within Biloxi and APZ I and II is necessary to establish land
use compatibility. Uses within these districts and their compatibility with
the Air Force land use compatibility guidelines are provided in Table 5‐13.
Notes are provided at the end of the table where additional consideration is
recommended.
All of the land in the South CZ is zoned residential. The majority is zoned
Single‐Family Residential, Medium Density while approximately one third is
zoned Single‐Family Residential, High Density. Both zoning designations are
incompatible with the land use recommendations.
