Zoning is the City's tool used to regulate how land in the City develops.  While the planning function of the City sets the vision for how the city will look, zoning can be classified as the laws and regulations that help bring that vision into reality.  Zoning determines what type of activity can occur and where buildings and structures can be built on property throughout the City.  

To determine the zone district for your property please see our Zoning Map or contact 616.355.1330.

To request a different zoning designation for your property please submit a rezoning application.
