What is zone?
Zoning refers to the collection of laws and regulations that are applied to various land uses. A zoning ordinance may also be called a "land use regulation" or something similar. It is a tool for protection of the public health, safety and general welfare by limiting what land owners can build upon or do with their properties. In general, zoning laws at the state level empower municipalities to regulate land uses in their towns within certain limits. Many towns establish minimum lot sizes, setback distances and density maximums for residential areas. Where land is unincorporated, many counties have the power to adopt and enforce their own zoning regulations. More complicated zoning regulations create different Types of zones, according to their primary uses, such as residential, industrial, commercial, or rural. Other types of zones include airports, historical zones, and mixed uses among different types. The building officials, planning board and zoning boards generally draft and enforce the ordinances adopted by the municipality. To obtain a building permit, change of occupancy, or a subdivision approval, the zoning regulations must be followed. Within each geographically defined zone the regulations will define the permitted uses, conditional uses, special exceptions, and sometimes even specific unpermitted (prohibited) uses. For example, a heavy industry may be prohibited in a residential zone and its buffer areas. However, regardless of whether local zoning is followed, there may be additional restrictions at the state (or federal) level which are more restrictive and must also be considered. For example, a state shoreland protection law can establish minimum lot sizes or septic setback regulations (among many other restrictions) for property along rivers and lakes, which are larger than normally allowed by the municipal regulations.

You should apply for a nonconforming land use permit when your property use does not comply with current zoning regulations.

It is important to apply for this permit before making any changes to your property to ensure compliance with regulations.

What are the basement building code in New York City?
NYC Building codes are accessible through The Department of Buildings' website (www.nyc.gov/buildings). The City Planning Commission also establishes regulations on basements (The NYC Zoning Resolution).Zoning describes a basement as a space that more than 50% above ground. Any space that is more than 50% belowgrade level is considered a cellar; therefore does not meet the appropriate light and air requirements for occupancy (i.e. can be used as storage or mechanical space, but cannot be lived in). Basements are occupiable (can be lived in) and should meet the construction and safety requirements of above-referenced building code.

R2 zoning typically allows for single-family homes with some flexibility for accessory units, while R3 zoning permits higher-density residential development such as duplexes, townhouses, and small apartment buildings.

How does zoning encourage or increase sprawl?
Zoning can encourage sprawl by allowing for low-density development in certain areas, which can lead to more land consumption and car dependence. Zoning regulations that prioritize single-family homes and large setbacks can create a pattern of sprawling development that spreads out infrastructure and services, increasing the need for more roads and utilities. Additionally, zoning that separates land uses can lead to long distances between residential areas, commercial centers, and industrial zones, contributing to urban sprawl.
