A document that defines how property in specific geographic zones can be used. A zoning ordinance typically regulates such items as lot size, structure placement, density, architectural style, development character, and the height of structures. Zoning ordinances also describe the procedures for how to develop land, how to change zones, how to deviate from the standards, and handle any zoning rule infractions.
A subdivision ordinance contains the regulations for subdividing and platting of land, providing for the preparation of plats and providing for the installation of utilities, streets and other improvements.
