That depends on which Constitution you are talking about and where the zones are.

The U.S. Constitution only has jurisdiction on federal territories, Land. So if the Area being zoned is on federal land then it is U.S. Constitutionally sound. If the land is no federal but under state jurisdiction then it is not U.S. Constitutionally sound. But if there are zoning regulations in accordance with the states Constitution (they all have one), then yes it is state Constitutionally sound.

The best thing to do is to read the states Constitution (aka Constitutional law) and see were it pertains to land. Then search the states Statutes (aka Administrative law) to see what they explain on the land. If the two differ then the Constitution wins. All laws starts from Common law (from Life) through the Constitution to the Administrative law.

Which branch decides if laws passed by congress are constitutional?

In the United States the US Supreme Court has the final decision on the constitutionality of all laws in the USA. This often relates to bills that the US Congress passes and sends to the US President. If the president sign the bills, they become Federal laws. Also, laws created in the 50 US States are ultimately decided to be constitutional by the US Supreme Court. The Court usually waits till a case is brought before it, or the other way, is by a procedure called judicial review.
