Explore Land Uses with a Click

land use lookup zoning research tool

Tired of flipping through zoning and land development ordinances and searching online to manually compile a comprehensive picture of zoning requirements? We were, too.

We needed a shortcut! Not only did we want quick answers for ourselves as planners, we needed them for all the staff, developers, engineers and architects who come to us with questions, too.

SO WE CREATED THE LAND USE LOOKUP ZONING RESEARCH TOOL

The Land Use Lookup Tool is a completely integrated feature. It lists all the zoning, overlay and special districts – and even planned developments – where a selected land use is permitted by-right, conditionally permitted, allowed by special exception, or may be allowed temporarily or as an accessory use.

HOW IT WORKS

Simply select a use category and use type from a drop-down menu to see all the applicable districts.

Or, begin typing a use to reveal all land uses that begin with the first few letters.

Powered with smart technology, the Land Use Lookup Tool can even relate common terms within land-use categories. For instance, it knows that “beauty salon” equates to “personal service,” and that “deli” is the same as “cafeteria or limited-service restaurant.”

Plus, the Parcel Summary and District Summary are accessible from the Land Use Lookup Tool, so related research is a snap!

No more confusion, missing details, or chasing information across multiple resources.
