1. Zoning:- 

Zoning is nothing but the segregation of various zones from each other. It is very essential to perform zoning

before starting the actual problem. Usually, zoning is carried out as residential zone, commercial zone

recreational zone, private zone, public zone, service zone, etc.

2. Internal Zoning:- 

It is basically the functional relationship between the horizontal and vertical level. The zoning of interiors of a

building is done by demarcating the public zones from private and service zones.

There are five different categories of zoning: residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and public

(special use).

Residential zoning is based on density which limits the number of dwelling units allowed per acre of land.

Commercial zoning is based on the degree of intensity of use and it stipulates the parking requirements as wel

as size and height of improvements. Industrial zoning controls the pollutants, air emissions and waste water

discharges that result from manufacturing or production processes. Agricultural zoning is land for agricultural

use. And public zoning applies to government-owned land for use such as schools, courthouses, parks, and

other public facilities.

If you live in Charlotte County, FL you can go to the following web site for the current planning and zoning at:

http://www.charlottecountyfl.com/GrowthManagement/PlanningZoning/currentPZ.asp. Current Planning and

Zoning is part of the Building and Growth Management Department and consists of the Site Plan Review, the

Board of Zoning Appeals, and other zoning services.

It is a good idea to check with zoning for the following types of items: residential fence installation, temporary

uses such as special events, temporary advertising devices, commercial name changes, tent permits, model

home flags, landscaping, trees, sheds, docks, lifts, seawalls, piers, excavations, and ponds as well as applying

for any variances.

Zoning is a device of land use planning used by local governments in most developed countries.[1][2][3] The

word is derived from the practice of designating permitted uses of land based on mapped zones which

separate one set of land uses from another. Zoning may be use-based (regulating the uses to which land may

be put), or it may regulate building height, lot coverage, and similar characteristics, or some combination of 

these. Similar urban planning methods have dictated the use of various areas for particular purposes in many

cities from ancient times.

Scope

Theoretically, the primary purpose of zoning is to segregate uses that are thought to be incompatible. In

practice, zoning is used to prevent new development from interfering with existing residents or businesses and to preserve the "character" of a community. Zoning is commonly controlled by local governments such as

counties or municipalities, though the nature of the zoning regime may be determined or limited by state or

national planning authorities or through enabling legislation.[4]

In Australia, land under the control of the

Commonwealth (federal) government is not subject to state planning controls. The United States and other

federal countries are similar. Zoning and urban planning in France and Germany are regulated by national or

federal codes. In the case of Germany this code includes contents of zoning plans as well as the legal

procedure.
