DEFINITION of 'Zoning'. Municipal or local government laws that dictate how real property can and cannot be used in certain areas. Zoning laws limit commercial use of land in order to prevent oil, manufacturing or other types of businesses from building in residential neighborhoods. However, these laws can be modified or suspended if construction of the property will serve to help the community advance economically.
Zoning Zoning is a tool to regulate development and help implement the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. âZoningâ refers to the division of the city into various zoning districts according to an official Zoning Map. The rules for each zoning district are outlined in the Land Development Code (the âzoning codeâ). Zoning determines such things as the specific land uses that are permitted (residential, office, commercial, industrial etc.), the minimum lot sizes and dimensional standards such as the minimum building setbacks and maximum building heights.
