Question: “What are zoning codes and what do the different codes mean?”
Christie’s Answer:
We get this question a lot from buyers and sellers! Zoning codes are a set of rules that regulate what can and can’t be done on a particular piece of property. There are four different types of land use zoning:
Functional zoning – residential, commercial, waterfront, administrative, industrial, and green space.
Intensity zoning – high density, average density, low density, no development.
Incentive zoning – rewards for development in defined areas.
Form based zoning – focuses on physical characteristics, defined as a form of urban identity.
