Zoning and land use regulations help ensure a city will grow and change in a managed, predictable way to help safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the general public.

These districts have uniform zoning regulations including those on land use, height, setbacks, lot size, density, coverage, and floor area ratio (FAR).
Business and individuals must have the appropriate zoning before they can build on a land or modify an existing building structure. If the land developer builds on a property not zoned for the proposed development, the contractor or developer must obtain the proper zoning by filing an application for zoning change.
