What is zoning?

Zoning establishes districts throughout the City that specify how land and buildings can be used. It is the municipality's authority to control and regulate land uses within the incorporated city limits. 

Why is it important?

Zoning is necessary to cities for the main purpose of improving the quality of life for their citizens. Its intent is to promote public health ,  safety, morals, general welfare, and the preservation of places and areas of historical, cultural or architectural importance or significance. Zoning achieves this by separating incompatible land uses in order to reduce conflict between property owners, protect property values and promote devlopment of the city. (Chapter 211 of the Texas Government Code).
