Zoning and Land Use Regulations

Zoning refers to the regulations on how the land is used within a municipality level, and it entails controlling the ways in which the land is developed and purposed. In California, zoning is classified into industrial, mixed-use, commercial and residential zones. Zoning and land regulations shape the landscape of the real estate by determining how properties are constructed and remodeled. Sellers and buyers in real estate need to understand these regulations because they can affect the current and future value of their properties.
