Proactive Zoning and Land Use Strategy
Local governments divide land zones into districts and regulate how each zone can be used.

Variances: Requests to waive or alter specific requirements of the zoning ordinance due to unique property hardships.

Permitted uses: Advising on what activities are allowed on a property under its current zoning classification.
-
Special exceptions: They encompass uses conditionally permitted within a zone if specific criteria are met.
