NYC Zoning Resolution

The NYC Zoning Resolution is a set of laws that regulate how land in New York City can be used and developed. It sets rules on building size, height, density, and placement to ensure neighborhoods are safe, functional, and aesthetically consistent. The resolution also designates specific areas for residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use development, prioritizing community needs and infrastructure. By governing land use, it helps maintain the city's organized growth, preserves neighborhood character, and balances private development with public interests.
