Zoning is the process of regulating the land use and building design (height, size, spacing and use) within a community. In the general sense, zoning determines what can be developed and where and how it can be developed. Zoning helps protect public and private interests, preserve critical areas, promote orderly growth, and encourage development to occur at a rate and manner that the community desires.
