Open the Zoning Panel
Open a project with a defined site
Start from any project where you’ve already defined a site location. The panel needs a parcel to query against.
Click into project information
Click anywhere in the project information section at the top of the screen.
If your parcel doesn’t show zoning data, your jurisdiction may not yet be in the Zoneomics feed. Let us know and we’ll add it in the next weekly update.
What’s in the panel
Inside the panel you’ll see:| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| District code | The official zoning designation for your parcel (e.g., R-3, C-1, M-2) |
| Description | A plain-language summary of what the district allows |
| Zoning type | The category — residential, commercial, mixed-use, etc. |
| Zoning code link | A direct link to the municipal source for the full code |
| Dimensional controls | The key constraints that drive feasibility: FAR, max building height, minimum open space, and setback requirements |
Open the source code
Click the Zoning Code Link to open the full municipal code for your parcel in a new tab. This takes you straight to the relevant section of the city or county’s published zoning ordinance — no manual searching required.Applying zoning constraints to your project
The Zoning Panel exposes a set of zoning filters for FAR, maximum building height, and minimum open space. Each constraint displays a suggested zoning value — apply it as-is, enter your own value using the text field or slider, or turn the control off for that metric. Changes update your project assumptions in real time, and variant generations adjust accordingly.
