Zoning 101
Depending on your city, there are specific areas that can and cannot be used for certain things. What this means is, the location of your restaurant may be limited by where you can actually have a restaurant in your city. Each municipal government has their own laws that regulate what types of businesses can operate in different districts or zones. Why? Your city doesn’t want to negatively impact its residents, and your local government has installed regulations to protect local communities. These regulations, however, aren’t necessarily set in stone; if the development of a certain property will economically advance the community, laws may be modified or suspended through a zoning permit. This flexibility is why you’ll need talk to your aderman or councillor about zoning – we’ll tell you more about this shortly. Zoning laws
Zoning laws are often referred to as “zoning ordinances” or “land use regulations”.
