Designated Use per Zoning Classification
The land’s current zoning designation determines what types of development and activities are legally allowed. Zoning categories typically fall under industrial, commercial, residential, agricultural, or mixed-use, and each has specific permitted and conditional uses.

• Example: If zoned Industrial (I-1 or M-1), it allows warehouses, light manufacturing, or distribution centers
  
• A Commercial (C-2 or GC) zone may permit offices, retail, or service-related facilities
  
• Zoning codes define allowable density, height, lot coverage, and operational standards
  

Confirmed Through Local Zoning Maps and Ordinances
The exact zoning classification is confirmed by referencing the official zoning map maintained by the local planning or zoning department. This is the legal source for determining the land’s zoning.

• Use the parcel number or address to locate the zoning designation
  
• Local GIS portals may allow interactive zoning lookups
  
• Planning staff can issue a zoning verification letter upon request
  

May Include Overlays or Special Use Restrictions
In addition to the base zoning, the land may be subject to overlay zones, development conditions, or previous approvals that modify or restrict permitted uses.

• Floodplain, airport, or corridor overlays may impose additional limitations
  
• A property may have a conditional zoning approval that allows certain uses only with permits
  
• Check for entitlement history that could affect future development options
