Zoning

Municipal regulations dictating how land can be used — commercial, residential, industrial, mixed-use.

Full Definition

Zoning is the regulatory framework established by local governments dictating permitted uses, density, height, setbacks, and other development parameters for each parcel. Zoning districts (e.g., C-2 commercial, R-1 residential) have specific permitted and conditional uses. Rezoning can take 6-12 months and carries approval risk.
