B Zoning in Edmond, OK — Suburban Single-Family Setbacks & Density

B is the suburban single-family district allowing slightly higher density than A — common in newer subdivisions and infill developments. It supports the modern subdivision pattern of narrower lots, shallower setbacks, and tighter design standards.

Minimum lot area is 7,000 sq ft with 60 ft minimum width. The district's narrower side-yard requirement (3 ft minimum each side, 7.5 ft combined) is the biggest differentiator from A and accommodates contemporary lot patterns. Front setback drops from A's 30 ft to 25 ft, supporting closer-to-street streetscapes that reduce private yard depth in favor of publicly visible frontage.

B district sees the highest volume of new single-family permits in Edmond at any given time because new subdivisions on the city's growth edges generally come in as B (or as a PUD that uses B as a base). Setback compliance is the most common rejection on B district building permit submittals.
