Commercial Zoning

Commercial zoning refers to laws that designate specific areas of land for business activities. These zones allow for the development of shops, offices, restaurants, and other commercial enterprises while restricting residential or industrial uses. The intent is to promote orderly growth, ensure compatibility between businesses and surrounding areas, and maintain public safety and convenience. Different types of commercial zoning can dictate the scale and nature of businesses permitted, impacting everything from building height to parking requirements. Overall, commercial zoning helps balance the needs of businesses with the community's overall planning goals.
