The Zoning Code is a tool used to implement the broader goals and policies outlined in the City’s General Plan by establishing specific, enforceable regulations for development and outlining procedures for reviewing and processing permit applications. For example, if the General Plan designates an area for residential use, the Zoning Code will define the types of residential buildings allowed (single-family homes, apartments, etc.), as well as specific standards like building height, density, and setbacks. Essentially, the Zoning Code operationalizes the General Plan by regulating the day-to-day development activities to ensure they align with the City’s long-term goals.
