How do I determine the zoning I need?

• Each zoning district permits certain land uses by right and others by special permit, which may be either a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (PDF) or Special Exception (SE) (PDF).
• Review the Zoning Ordinance to determine how a property may be used. This reference table (PDF) can help in searching for business and industrial uses.
• Upon request, a letter from Planning can be issued that confirms whether or not a use is permitted. To obtain such a letter, please submit an application for a zoning compliance letter (PDF).
• If a property owner wishes to change the way in which a property may be used, a change of zoning classification or a special permit is generally required.
