zoning is the regulation of structures and uses of property within designated districts or zones. Zoning regulates and affects such things as use of the land, lot sizes, types of structure permitted, building heights, setbacks and density (the ratio of land area to improvement area). (See aesthetic zoning, bulk zoning, comprehensive zoning, cumulative zoning, downzoning, exclusionary zoning, incentive zoning, noncumulative zoning, partial zoning, spot zoning).
