This document discusses zoning and its objectives. Zoning is the process by which a local government allocates land uses and establishes restrictions for things like building heights and densities. The objectives of zoning are to promote the common good, make town planning schemes effective, coordinate public amenities, and control growth. There are different types of zoning like functional, form-based, intensity, and incentive zoning. Zoning aspects covered include density, heights, and use zones like residential, commercial, and industrial. Advantages are listed as promoting health, safety, prosperity, and orderly development.

OBJECTIVES OF ZONING

6. Types of zoning
Functional zoning
Form-based zoning
Intensity zoning
Incentive zoning

7. Functional zoning
where land use zones are defined according to
their function such as commercial, residential or
industrial.
 Each zone type is subject to specific rules and
regulations concerning the type of activities that
can be built.

8. Form-based zoning
zones according to their physical characteristics,
mostly from an urban identity perspective such as
the downtown area.
This form of zoning is usually easier to relate to
the general population

9. Intensity zoning
land use zones by the level of permitted intensity,
such as the number of residential units per unit of
surface or allowed commercial surface.
Enables a level of flexibility in urban development
since it permits developers to select which types of
development takes place as long as this
development abides by density constraints.

10. Incentive zoning
Often part of revitalization or development plans
where developers are allowed to build residential,
commercial or industrial
projects in specific areas through the provision of
various incentives such as tax abatement or basic
infrastructure

11. ASPECTS IN ZONING
▪ DENSITY ZONING
 Density of population in the residential areas is Controlled by
means of suitable rules and regulations.
▪ HEIGHT ZONING
 controlling the height of buildings with due consideration of
contents of the buildings and the street width for theprovision of
light and ventilation

12. USE ZONE
This is the most important aspect of zoning and it defines
the uses to which various parts of the town will be put.
They are classified into four sub-divisions:
Residential zone
Commercial zone
Industrial zone

13. ADVANTAGES
zoning promotes health, safety, prosperity, orderly
development and overall welfare of the community.
1. Danger from fire.
2. Future Development.
3. General amenities.
4. Health of community.
