Zoning District(s)

  • The law adopting each type of Zoning District defines what types of primary and accessory uses can be developed and what types of development standards will govern that use
  • Development standards generally include lot size, lot width, setbacks, heights of structures and buildings, lot coverage, and screening.

 A zoning district is very critical in that it determines the type of uses you can and cannot establish on your property. For example, if your parcel is zoned for residential use, you would generally not be able to place a business on this property.
