The easiest way to find land upon which container homes can be build is not by looking for any special zoning but rather a lack of zoning, like no zoning designated land, or none building restricted land, there are actually quite  few but they generally will not be found in already heavily populated areas, However, most of these lands will be within an easy and a short driving distance to the usual amenities, and services.
