What do the different Zoning designations mean?
The designations identify the general type of land use or density of development that is permitted in the zone. For example, General Industrial District identifies the zone as an area where relatively light industrial and office uses are permitted and is abbreviated as “GI”. Another example is Low Residential District which identifies the zone as an area where low density residential development is permitted. The the density range in this case is two to four dwelling units per acre (2-4 du/ac). The abbreviation for this zone is “L”. There are numerous zoning designations, land uses, and density levels – for a comprehensive list and description of them, please contact us.
