zoning districts

Zoning districts are specific areas within a city or town designated for particular types of development and land use, such as residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural. Each district has regulations that govern what can be built and how properties can be used to ensure orderly development and to protect community interests. For instance, a residential zone may only allow homes, while a commercial zone permits businesses. These zoning laws help manage growth, maintain property values, and promote community well-being by separating conflicting land uses, like noisy factories from quiet neighborhoods.
