Zoning Overview

A zoning permit is similar to a variance. Zoning permits allow the use of a  property for a purpose other than designated by the property's zoning, as long  as the business use doesn't adversely affect the neighborhood. A zoning permit  or variance may be needed in a number of situations that may change  the zoning classification of the property, such as the following: 

  • if you are engaged in the construction or alteration of a building that may  change its classification; 
  • if you intend to change the use of an existing building to a different zoning  classification; 
  • if you want to build a structure on vacant land; 
  • if you want to change the use of land to a different zoning type;
  • if you make any change in a nonconforming use, i.e., you make a change to a  structure that had previously been "grandfathered" from complying with current  zoning requirements.

A competent architect can help guide you through the process of obtaining a zoning permit  or variance.

The zoning or planning board must give you the permit or variance  before you can begin construction or use the building for business purposes.

What Is Zoning in Architecture?


Zoning is essentially a set of codes that outline the rules for what may be built on a particular property. Zoning codes limit the size, shape, use, and location of buildings. Architects perform zoning analyses in order to determine the legal development rights of a property.

Determining which building types and styles will and won’t adhere to legal zoning prerequisites can be challenging. Different zoning areas can provide certain freedoms and limits for a given project, depending on what the client and architect have envisioned for their final result.
