A setback is a distance from a property line, street, or sidewalk to the improvement on your individually owned property. <\/b><\/p>

For example, if your zoning has a 6-foot setback it means that the property has to be built 6 feet from the sidewalk or property line, depending on the laws in the specific area.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is the number of properties or homes that can be built in a certain area or subdivision per acre. <\/b><\/p>

For example, if the piece of land with 3 acres has a density of 10 this means there could be a total of 30 homes built with 10 homes per acre.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Buffers are things like fences and tree lines that we separate things from. For example, a fence that separates two houses or a tree line that separates a community park from a residentially zoned subdivision. <\/b><\/p>

Buffer zones are dictated under zoning laws as spaces between what we call use districts.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is an exception to zoning requirements. If there are any regulations or laws that you need to change from the existing law, you need to request them through the variance process. <\/b><\/p>

For example, if you want a bigger business sign to be displayed to the public than the regulation sign, you need to request it through the variation process.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is the regulation limiting how high a skyscraper can be in a city or how high a multifamily apartment can be in a residential zone. <\/b><\/p>

If the regulation in a residential area is for 5 stories for a multifamily apartment, the builder cannot construct more than 5 stories in that area.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Zoning is the best way to plan a city or area with the best use of its land avoiding overoccupancy and controlling traffic.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

If it is done properly it could also give great potential for the growth of the locality.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

It increases the marketability of the location. For common individuals zoning might not be one of the hottest topics, however, everyone would like to have a home in a well-planned community.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
