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.
Additional maps are available here that illustrate specific regulations in the IDO.
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.
Visit the ABC-Z project webpage to learn more. You can opt in via this online form.
Online maps are available to help determine whether properties are eligible for the follow-up voluntary conversion process via one of the criterion in City Council Resolution 2018-29.
