What are Zoning Regulations?
The Zoning Regulations consist of both a map of the City and a written ordinance, which divide the community into land use districts, such as residential, commercial, industrial or Planned Unit Developments, as well as the Airport Overlay, University Overlay and Flood Plain districts. The Zoning Regulations describe what type of land use activity is permitted in each district, and also regulates how buildings, signs, parking and other construction may be placed on a lot. The document also provides regulations for temporary and accessory uses, and provides standards and procedures for rezonings and actions of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
