The City's Zoning Ordinance determines the land uses within the city's jurisdiction. Each parcel in the city is assigned within a zone district, which describes the regulations and requirements under which that land may be utilized for. The Zoning Ordinance identifies allowable uses and sets development standards such as minimum lot size, maximum building height, and minimum front yard depth.
