For residential properties, zoning approval is required for projects such as building a deck, addition, porch, fence or garage.
Zoning requirements
To check zoning requirements for your property and whether you need a zoning variance (permission to use the property in spite of zoning requirements), contact 311. A zoning variance requires action by the Board of Adjustment.
