• In most of the developed countries around the
  world the method or device of zoning is adopted
  to segregate the land used for different
  purposes. Planning zoning is an important way of
  the different Governments across the world to
  allot lands for separate use so that there is no
  conflict over the usage of the land. A systematic
  land distribution method triggers off greater
  development prospects. It doesnt let the new
  development projects to interfere with the
  already existing ones like other businesses or
  residents and thus protects and preserves the
  community identity. This process is mainly steer
  headed by the local governments like the
  municipalities or counties though determining the
  nature of the zoning may lie with the central
  authority.

• The planning zoning includes determining which
  piece of land should be used for which purpose
  like whether for commercial, residential,
  industrial or agricultural and also at which
  densities or frequency such activities can be
  allowed that is determining whether there shall
  be small scale industrialization or large scale
  industrialization or single homes or high rise
  buildings, the height of the buildings that would
  be raised, or the amount of land required for the
  buildings or the structures to be raised, the
  exact position for the buildings, the nature of
  the land to be provided and much more.

• Urban Zoning Category The urban zoning has been
  categorized into 5 main categories and they are
  Residential, Mixed Residential-Commercial,
  Commercial, industrial, Special which include
  shopping malls, airports, power plants etc. Each
  of these 5 categories can be subdivided into
  other categories for more specification.
• Zoning Information - It is necessary for every
  entrepreneur big or small or real estate firms to
  derive proper zoning information before setting
  up a plan for a new venture. Each piece of land
  is secured by a zoning code and proper permit is
  necessary for acquiring the codes for the
  purpose. Zoning information includes information
  on the permits to be acquired or how to request
  an inspection and the kinds.

• Zoning Letters A zoning letter consists of all
  the information requested by an individual or a
  firm or a financial institution on a property or
  the piece of land chosen by the applicant. The
  letter contains all the necessary details of the
  zone. It can be requested for from the authority
  for deriving information on the particular zone.
  This information includes the uses permitted on
  the land, history of the land uses and other
  rules and regulations.
• For proper and regularized urban planning and
  settlement zoning planning is of crucial
  importance. To avoid any sort of possible dispute
  over the usage of the land this is an important
  and developed tool. The separate segregation of
  the lands allows proper governance and also an
  orderly and methodical administration. The zoning
  code books the land for particular usages and
  doesnt allow any other form of settlement of
  business interest to grow on that particular
  piece of land. The separate zones operate
  independently and do not interfere with each
  others territory.
