Conditional Zoning

Conditional zoning is a planning tool used by municipalities to allow specific developments under certain conditions. Rather than granting blanket zoning permits, a local government may approve a project with particular requirements that must be met. For example, a developer might receive permission to build a commercial property, but only if they incorporate green space or meet specific design standards. This approach helps balance development needs with community interests, ensuring that new projects align with local goals and promote sustainable growth.
