Final Step:
Once a zoning classification is known, you can read the description of the zoning classifications by clicking here. For the example above, the red area is zoned CC:
- Community Commercial (CC) . The community commercial designation includes retail, professional office and service-oriented business activities which serve the entire community. Community commercial areas typically include some neighborhood commercial uses as well as larger retail uses including department stores, theaters, restaurants, professional offices, specialty retail stores and shopping centers.
Same example, the yellow community to the north-west of the commercial is zoned LM:
- Low Medium Density Residential (LM). The low medium density residential zoning district is intended to provide for the development of single-family homes. Typical density for the low medium density residential development is from three to six dwelling units per net acre, with a target density of four and one-half dwelling units per acre.
