Do zoning requirements apply to every business?
Every business must meet zoning requirements to ensure that the business activity (use) and site development are compatible.
When should I look into zoning requirements for a property?
It is strongly recommended to verify zoning prior to building new, or signing a lease or rental agreement to ensure the type of business to be operated is allowed. Find out what zoning district the property is in by searching the City’s Zoning Map and then apply the appropriate zoning district building standards and allowed uses.
Who should I contact to find out more about zoning requirements?
You can contact the Department of Community Investment to determine:
- If the business activity is appropriate for the location you have chosen
- If the location will require special parking considerations
- If it requires a special exception or a use variance
- If it requires permits for changes to the structure of the building
