Understanding Zoning
Zoning is a regulatory tool used by local governments to control the physical development of land and dictate how individual properties may be used. Zoning laws typically divide a municipality into different districts—such as residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational—and establish the types of structures and activities allowed in each.
For example, residential zoning might restrict development to single-family detached homes, prohibiting higher-density housing like duplexes or apartment complexes. In contrast, commercial zoning may allow specific business types—such as tattoo studios, beauty salons, barber shops, and convenience stores—but the permitted uses can vary widely by jurisdiction. One area might restrict commercial zoning to only retail or office use, while another may encourage a mix of housing and business uses within the same zone.
