How to Do Zoning Research

[Arif Gungorur]

1.Zoning and Land Use

• Unrestricted Areas & Mobile Homes:
  How can I determine if a piece of land is in an unrestricted area or suitable for placing a mobile home?
• The zoning office suggests reviewing the zoning ordinance, but the course didn’t cover zoning assumptions in detail.
• What’s the best way to verify zoning suitability and double-check zoning information?

2. Zoning Ordinance Exceptions

• Some properties in the target zone don’t meet the minimum lot area or width size requirements under the zoning ordinance, yet houses exist on smaller-sized neighbor lots.
• How could these properties get approval for development?

3. Reliability of Regrid Zoning Information

• Is the zoning data provided by Regrid accurate and up-to-date for development planning?
• What are the best methods to independently verify zoning and land use data to ensure compliance with local regulations?

4. Land Use Codes and Building Feasibility

• Example 1: Property Land Use Codes
• Activity Code: 4000 (Social, institutional, or infrastructure-related)
• Function Code: 1000 (Residence or accommodation)
• Ownership Code: 4200 (State government)
  Example: Regrid Property Example 1
• Example 2: Zoning Details
• Zoning Code: T3
• Zoning Description: Sub Urban Zone
• Zoning Type: Residential
• Zoning Subtype: Single Family
• Ownership Code: 1500 (Businesses and commercial entities)
  Example: Regrid Property Example 2
• Based on these land use and zoning codes, can I build a house on either of these parcels?
