Where is an apartment building (multifamily housing) allowed in Brawley?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Brawley Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

Brawley's code calls this use “Dwellings, multifamily”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.

R-A, R-E, R-1, R-2, MHS, MHP, C-1, C-2, C-3.

• S1 also lists 'Apartment buildings' and 'Condominium buildings' with the same result (R-3 only). S2 has no 'Dwellings, multifamily' row; its row is 'Apartment houses'.
• State law: State laws such as AB 2011, SB 6 and the density bonus law can allow homes on some commercial sites, or more units than this table shows.
• Not covered here: P-D (planned development) zones. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.

• Single-family home
• Bed and breakfast
• Church or place of worship
