Zoning of Real Estate
Zoning is a legal tool for municipalities to control the use of real estate. A zone is created, inside which the properties can only be utilized for certain functions. An example is R4, or Residential use with no more than four units per lot/acre, etc. In this zone there could not be commercial businesses, unless a variance to the zoning could be acquired.
