ZoningMunicipal or county regulation of land use within designated districts or zones.

Zoning may affect use of the land, lot sizes, type of structure permitted, building heights, setbacks and density.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Municipal
Strictly, this word applies only to what belongs to a city. Among the Romans, cities were called municipia; these cities voluntarily joined the Roman republic in relation to their sovereignty only, retaining, their laws, their liberties, and their magistrates, who were thence called municipal magistrates. With us this word has a more extensive meaning; for example, we call municipal law, not the law of a city only, but the law of the state. Municipal is used in contradistinction to international; thus we say an offence against the law of nations is an international offence, but one committed against a particular state or separate community, is a municipal offence.
County
Originally, a province governed by a count, - the earl or alderman to whom the government of the shire was entrusted. 1 Bl. Com. 116.
