1. Zoning Analysis, Documents and Reports
Zoning Services
Zoning Ordinances, Analysis and Due Diligence for Existing Properties
The real estate market is always changing. As a result, zoning ordinances and land use
development ordinances change over time. A piece of commercial property may be
accurately zoned at the time of construction, but due to changes in zoning ordinances the
use of the property may be in conflict to the present zoning and land use requirements.
Changes to zoning ordinances may also result in the reduction of permitted density,
height or required setbacks and parking. This may affect the resale of the commercial
property and any construction.
The zoning of a property determines what type of structures may be built, specific land
use, property use and more. For example, a current land owner may want to demolish the
existing structure in order to build a shopping mall or may simply might want
improvements to the existing structure. The planned construction or renovation will
always depend on zoning ordinances which determine what is allowed and what height,
size, location rules, parking rules, and other restrictions apply when developing.
Zoning Services and Due Diligence Analysis
PZR will determine the property’s zoning jurisdiction and/or multiple jurisdictions plus
research all details related to zoning so that the client may focus on their core business.
The Planning and Zoning Resource Corporation will gather ALL municipal zoning
documents which include: Zoning Ordinances, Certificates of Occupancy, Zoning Letter,
Zoning Reports, Zoning Analysis, Zoning Documents, Zoning Investigation, Mulit-Site
Zoning Analysis, etc.
PZR will assist by resolving specific zoning issues or problems that arise out of this
review process plus provide a determination with regard to rebuilding the property in the
event of damage or destruction. Here is a brief overview of PZR Zoning services:
PZR will research and collaborate with all local officials to find out any
outstanding building or zoning violations
PZR services also include a Zoning Report which details any risks associated
with the commercial property project
PZR can also provide a Zoning Executive Summary Report (ESR). The ESR is
a brief one or two page report that confirms zoning jurisdiction and designation
and provides a conformance determination to use, height, density, setbacks and
parking based on current zoning code requirements.

2. PZR zoning services will provide you with a zoning report early in the due diligence
process so that required documents are provided for legal conforming and nonconforming
issues.
PZR Zoning report is extensive and includes
The specific zoning designation of the site, as established by the current munici-
pal code.
The uses allowed under the zoning designation established by the zoning
ordinance and whether the present use of the subject site is legally permitted.
The minimum yard or setback requirements and a review of the survey for
compliance.
The building height requirement, whether by number of stories or actual height
above ground level, and a review of the survey for compliance.
The bulk or density restrictions of the property, and a determination of
compliance.
The formula for determining the minimum parking requirement, and a
comparison of the required parking count to the actual site count.
Special circumstances to be considered would include: legal non-compliance of
any of the above factors, the issuance of zoning compliance letters from the
municipalities, the existence of variances, council minutes, certificates of
occupancy, building inspections and the effect of site plan approval.
