The city is divided into several zoning districts, each with specific permitted and conditional uses.
Main Zoning Districts:
- General Use (GU): Mixed residential, commercial, and light industrial.
- Residential (R): Primarily for housing.
- Commercial (C): Business and retail activities.
- Industrial (I): Manufacturing and warehousing.
- Resource Development (RD): Mining and resource-based industries.
- Open Space/Recreation (OSR): Parks and recreational areas.
- Flood Hazard Overlay (FHO): Areas with flood risk, requiring extra precautions.
Each district has a permitted use (allowed by default) and conditional use (requires approval). For example, single-family homes are allowed in residential zones, but multi-family units may require review.
Nome’s zoning regulations aim to balance development with preserving the city’s unique character and environment.
