    What is Zoning Code?

    Zoning codes have shaped major U.S. cities for over a century, serving as the backbone of urban development by defining the permissible land uses and activities within neighborhoods. Zoning regulations enable cities to exercise control over the use and development of land, establishing clear guidelines for commercial, industrial, residential, and agricultural purposes. Planning and Zoning determines the possibilities and limitations for construction on a property.

    What is a Zoning Map?

    A zoning map is a visual representation used by local governments to display and define zoning and permitted land uses within specific areas of a region. It is an important tool for planning and zoning, and development and clearly depicts zoning designations.
