Zoning and planning is a facet of the land use regulations that are set in place by the local and federal government. Zoning and planning policies oversee things such as acceptable construction activities on properties, building height restrictions, and property development regulations. Typically, zoning and planning requirements are categorized according to property type, which include residential property, commercial property, industrial property, recreational property, and agricultural property.
Zoning and planning regulations govern land use restrictions as well. Restrictions are set in place to regulate:
- building height
- building size
- building closeness
- building square footage
- building facilities
- building use
- lot size
- property lines
