The Importance Of Proper Planning And Zoning

By Barbara Howard


As per the popular aphorism, Rome was not built in a day. Of course, this is meant to be generalized, and accordingly, building a city is no mean feat. That is why Taos county planning and zoning should be given a premium consideration.

In building a well defined locality, one should take into account such nitty gritty as zoning. This means fully determining which can be the turf of residential district and commercial ones. Of course, it would not do to lump them up together since this can spell innumerable detriments for the profits of commercial enterprises and uncounted inconveniences for residential lots.

Zeroing down to local jurisdiction, zoning is a must. It aims to divide given land, and set out permissions or prohibitions for certain use. Regulations may also be forwarded regarding the buildings placement, sizes, scale, form, and the like. Its scope is also sundry. It may touch upon condition or else outright land use, and also determine whether to allow a particular means for a given development.

However, these guidelines are only meant to streamline urban growth and development. The process may be both technical and political, and subsumes a whole array of considerations, including the natural environment, such as water, air, and natural outcrops. The preexisting physical layout is also accounted for. And of course, there are the utility lines, whether they be for communications, transportation, or distribution networks.

There is also provide land use information and assistance to petitioners. With this filed documentation, they provide relevant solutions to problems in annexations, re zoning, subdivisions, variances, and sundry issues like public rights of way and some such. All these do not come merely from logical devising but from tried and tested evidences that come from years of thoughtful research.

This enterprise also includes development services. There are many services subsumed within this category. For one, site plan reviews are initiated. This taps on other nifty provision like field inspections and surveying, utility mapping, and other matter relevant to city planning.

All in all, these solves potential problems before they have the chance to actualize. Consequently, this taps on responsible municipal governance and federal legislation to push through with its projected activities. The personalization of a problem is important since individual municipalities and states greatly differ with each other in layout, topography, and priorities, among others.

Many considerations are addressed here, from fencing, drainage, parking areas, earthwork grading, and street signs and lighting. Red tape may be a problem, since approval is required in quite a lot of authorities, from the local planning staff, the relevant commissions, then the mayoralty or city council for final implementation. It must also work hand in hand with various branches like public works, fire departments, the city engineer and some such. It must ably make sure that proposed developments do not conflict with safety codes, department operational duties, and the like.

Planning and zoning practices are no doubt very much contributive in a citys endeavor for responsible and viable growth and development. It ensures that structures and lots are attractively built to suit their environment. Consequently, that serves to highlight a citys unique character, what with the proper machination of all aspects subsequent to it. Its heritage and character are given a premium, the mainstay and defining factor of any future development.
