Zoning Maps

Zoning for each property is established by the City's Official Zoning Map, which is available via several online maps:

• Advanced Map Viewer: Best for advanced users with multiple questions.
• Interactive IDO Zoning Map: Easy map that answers multiple questions. Easy to see Center & Corridor areas and small areas with different zoning standards.
• IDO Zoning Look-up Map: Easiest map to use to find out zoning on a particular property.

The Zone Atlas is available here. The Zone Atlas is updated annually, so be sure to check one of the online maps above for the latest zoning information.

Voluntary Follow-up Zone Conversion Process

Property owners can opt in to a free, one-year process to address nonconformities, floating zone lines, and voluntary downzone requests, among other criteria identified in Resolution 2018-29.

The Planning Department will be submitting at least two packages of zone conversions from May 2018 to April 2019.
