The zoning ordinances of the City of Cedar Hills were established to promote the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity, and general welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the City and to this end to:

1. Encourage and facilitate orderly growth and development in the City.
2. Secure economy in municipal expenditures and to facilitate adequate provision for transportation, water, sewerage, parks, schools and other public requirements.
3. Lessen congestion in the streets, prevent the overcrowding of land, and provide adequate light and air.
4. Secure safety from fires, floods, traffic hazards and other dangers.
5. Stabilize and improve property values.
6. Protect the tax base.
7. Promote the development of a more attractive and wholesome and serviceable city.
8. Create conditions favorable to prosperity, civic activities and recreational, educational and cultural opportunities (Ord. 6-20-78A, 6-20-1978).

In establishing the zones, the boundaries thereof, and other regulations and restrictions applying within each of the zones, due and careful consideration was given, among other things, to the suitability of the land for particular uses and to the character of the zone, with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the City (Ord. 6-20-78A, 6-20-1978).

The City is divided into zones as follows:

• RR-1-20,000 Rural residential zone
• R-1-15,000 Residential zone
• R-1-11,000 Residential zone
• PR 2.2 Planned residential zone
• PR 3.4 Planned residential zone
• H-1 Hillside development zone
• SC-1 Shopping center zone
• PF Public facilities zone
• TR-1 Townsite residential zone

(Ord. 3-2-99D, 3-2-1999; amd. Ord. 8-17-2000A, 8-17-2000; Ord. 6-1-2004A, 6-1-2004)

Official Zone Map (pdf)
The location and boundaries of each of the zones are shown on the official zone map of the City, which is an official record and a part of the zone ordinance. The official zone map is adopted by ordinance with the signature of the mayor, attested to by the City recorder, and recorded in the office of the City recorder. Whenever amendments or changes are made in zone boundaries, they will be made promptly by the City recorder on the official zone map. No amendment or change will become effective until after it has been properly noted and attested to on the official zone map.

Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official zone map, which may from time to time be made or published, the official zone map will be located in the office of the City recorder and is the final authority in determining current status (Ord. 6-20-78A, 6-20-1978; amd. 2004 Code).
