Zoning Evolution: Adapting to Community Needs
Zoning is a powerful tool that shapes the future of our towns, determining what can be built, where, and how.
However, many communities have begun to treat zoning maps as static documents, rather than living frameworks that evolve with the community's needs, values, and realities.
Zoning was never meant to be static.
Originally introduced in the early 20th century, zoning aimed to bring order to rapidly industrializing cities, protecting health and safety by separating homes from smokestacks and preserving access to light and air.
As an adaptive tool, zoning has always reflected the problems and opportunities of its time, rather than providing a permanent verdict on land use.
