Zoning Regulations
A zoning map and related ordinances help regulate land development in the town. There are three basic zoning categories:
- Commercial

Location Standards
Zoning ordinances also contain standards concerning where and how a structure may be located on a lot. These standards can include restrictions on:
- Building height
- Building setbacks
- Minimum lot area

Appeals
If a proposed project, development, or structure does not conform to current zoning regulations, relief from the strict interpretation of those regulations may be granted after a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals.
