What is Zoning?#
As zoning inspectors, we are responsible for administering and enforcing zoning regulations to guide the use of land and maintain orderly development. These regulations pertain to such things as the establishment of different zone districts, permitted uses in the various districts, signs, fences, home occupations, parking, landscaping, and general site layout and design.

Zone District Look-up#
Zoning districts dictate what you may build and how you may build it in different areas of the city. Click the button below to find what zone district you are located in! Once you identify your zone district, you can use the Table of Primary Uses to see what uses are allowed in your zone district. The Table of Primary Uses starts on the fourth page of Article 4 of the Land Use Code.
