About Robbinsdale - Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning section of the Robbinsdale City Code provides the rules and regulations for where buildings may be built and what types of uses are allowed in the various zoning districts established by the City Council.  Scroll down to find the various sections of the Zoning Ordinance as well as the minimum lot size and flood plain information. The zoning classification for a particular property can be found 3 ways at this web site using:

1. Property Information Search Page
2. Legal Descriptions
3. Zoning Map

The easiest way to get the zoning classification of a property is to click here to get the Property Information search page.  Type in either the address or PID number on the search page and hit Enter (or click search).  Scroll down to find the zoning classification.

Zoning classification can also be determined if you know the legal description of the property.   Legal Descriptions are listed alphabetically for all property in a particular district except properties zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential).  The property is zoned R-1 if it is not found in any other district.

Minimum Lot Size  and Flood Panel Information

The minimum single family lot (R-1) requirements are 50 feet wide and 6000 sq. ft. in area.  However an existing lot of record can be used for single family detached dwellings if the lot width and lot area are within 80% of the said requirements.  For example a single family dwelling can be built on a 40 X 120 lot ( See Section 510.09. Lots). 

Very few properties in Robbinsdale are in the Flood Plain as determined by FEMA.  Those properties affected by flood plain often are adjacent to or near water bodies, and are shown on four FEMA map panels.  Interpretation service is available from the Community Development Department for a fee.  However, assistance is also available directly from FEMA, which in some cases will be necessary.  The FEMA Map Assistance Center can be reached toll free at 877-33-2627 (877-FEMA MAP).
