How to Do Zoning Research
1.Zoning and Land Use
- Unrestricted Areas & Mobile Homes:
How can I determine if a piece of land is in an unrestricted area or suitable for placing a mobile home? - The zoning office suggests reviewing the zoning ordinance, but the course didn’t cover zoning assumptions in detail.
- What’s the best way to verify zoning suitability and double-check zoning information?
2. Zoning Ordinance Exceptions
- Some properties in the target zone don’t meet the minimum lot area or width size requirements under the zoning ordinance, yet houses exist on smaller-sized neighbor lots.
- How could these properties get approval for development?
3. Reliability of Regrid Zoning Information
- Is the zoning data provided by Regrid accurate and up-to-date for development planning?
- What are the best methods to independently verify zoning and land use data to ensure compliance with local regulations?
4. Land Use Codes and Building Feasibility
- Example 1: Property Land Use Codes
- Activity Code: 4000 (Social, institutional, or infrastructure-related)
- Function Code: 1000 (Residence or accommodation)
- Ownership Code: 4200 (State government)
Example: Regrid Property Example 1 - Example 2: Zoning Details
- Zoning Code: T3
- Zoning Description: Sub Urban Zone
- Zoning Type: Residential
- Zoning Subtype: Single Family
- Ownership Code: 1500 (Businesses and commercial entities)
Example: Regrid Property Example 2 - Based on these land use and zoning codes, can I build a house on either of these parcels?
