What is zoning?

Zoning refers to legislation that basically maintains the integrity of the neighborhood, whether residential or commercial. An extreme example of the benefits of zoning would be as follows: Zoning legislation would stop your neighbor from operating a landfill next to your home located in a nice quiet subdivision. By maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood, zoning protects your property value and enables you to enjoy your home, without excessive noise from traffic or industry right next door.
