What is a Zoning Law?
A zoning law determines the maximum size and height of a building in a neighborhood. Zoning laws are put in place in nearly every city to protect the community.
Planning Your Neighborhood
Planning Your Neighborhood
Part of the planning of your neighborhood with be making sure that the building you plan on making is within the maximum area and floors that is explained above. If you do not follow the law, you may have to start all over.
If you feel that there is a building that your neighborhood needs but is not included in the zoning laws above you will need to complete the form Changing Zoning Laws. In this form you will need to answer every question and click on the submit button at the bottom. A teacher will then decide if the building will be allowed.

The first phase of the planning process is brainstorming. As a group you will brainstorm what are the needs of your neighborhood based on your neighborhoods' scenario and what you think a neighborhood usually needs.
Phase 2:
Then as a group you will begin creating a plan for who will make each building. Starting with the most important buildings first.
