Building & Zoning
Zoning was adopted in March of 1957 and was designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of those living in the community. Most zoning regulations are a matter of common sense and help to make sure that people use their property in such a way that is not detrimental to those living in the same area or to the community as a whole. Effective zoning practices protect property values and contribute to a community's quality of life.
