Home MenuZoning and Land Use
The core tool for land use regulation in Albemarle is zoning. By categorizing land uses and placing them in appropriate zones, the City can protect land and property markets and foster the right kind of development.
The Zoning Ordinance defines permitted uses in each district, including special uses, lot size, setback requirements, and site improvements on new developments, such as landscaping of parking lots and pedestrian amenities.
The City of Albemarle currently has fifteen distinct Zoning Districts as well as a few overlay districts.
