Land Use Regulations

Land use regulations are rules set by local governments that determine how land can be used in specific areas. They help manage growth, protect the environment, and ensure community safety. These regulations dictate what types of buildings can be constructed—such as residential, commercial, or industrial—as well as the density of development and the preservation of green spaces. By guiding development, land use regulations aim to create organized, functional, and sustainable communities while addressing factors like zoning, environmental impact, and infrastructure needs.
