Land Use and Zoning Law

Zoning is when a local government designates permitted uses of certain parcels of land. The local government—city or county—will designate various zones for different uses of land, such as industrial, agricultural, commercial, and residential. Zoning is also commonly used to dictate the types of buildings that can be built in certain districts or areas, such as high-density housing, high-rises, maximum height restrictions, etc.
