An Introduction to Zoning

from City Beautiful Hosted by City Beautiful

Zoning may seem boring, but it dictates what can and can't be built in your city. I go through the basics of the zoning code (zoning ordinance), describe the pros and cons, and tell you how you can influence changes to your community's zoning code.For more information:http://dcoz.dc.gov/about/Zoning%20Basics06.06.11.pdfhttp://plannersweb.com/2001/04/zoning-basics/Photo credits:Bettercities.netDialogDesign.caChris Brown on FlickrCity of TorontoForm Based Codes InstituteGary J.
