How zoning works in Gulfport

Gulfport has also layered a transect-based, form-based code onto parts of its map: several conventional districts are paired with equivalent T-zone designations (for example, R-O aligns with T4L, R-B with T4+, B-1 with T5, and B-2 with T6) for walkable, traditional-neighborhood-pattern development, alongside special Scenic Byway (SB) and Waterfront (WF) districts reflecting the city's coastal location and stricter post-Katrina flood and wind-resistance standards.
