residential zoning
Home-only land rules
Residential zoning is land-use regulation that designates areas where housing can be built, typically excluding commercial or industrial development.
Zoning laws specify what types of residences are permitted—single-family homes, apartments, duplexes—and may set requirements for lot sizes, building heights, and setbacks from property lines.
