Zoning

The delineation of districts and the establishment of regulations governing the use, placement, spacing, and size of land and buildings. Zoning provides guidelines for setbacks, height of structures, lot sizes, lot coverage, parking and other requirements. Zoning also regulates the types of land uses permitted on a property.

The purpose of Zoning is to:

• Protect health, safety and welfare of the public
• Ensure the orderly, manageable, and predictable growth of the city
• Assist with the implementation of community planning goals
• Separate conflicting land uses

Regulate land uses to achieve and maximize public benefits
