What is a
Zoning
District?
A Zoning
District defines what
types of primary and accessory uses can be developed and what types of development
standards will govern that use. Development standards generally include lot size, lot
width, setbacks, heights of structures and buildings, lot coverage, and screening.
What is my zoning?
Zoning district
designations may be found by locating your property on our
zoning maps. If
you call 623-773-7200 with an assessors parcel number or
address, we can help you find your zoning.
How do I measure a
setback?
A setback is measured from a lot
(property) line to the nearest point of a building or structure using a perpendicular
line to the property line. Front property lines are usually the trickiest. Remember to always
measure from a lot line and not the back of the curb or sidewalk.
What
are my setbacks?
To determine your single
family residential setbacks, you must first determine what your zoning
district is. Zoning district designations may be found by locating your
property on our
zoning maps. Once you have determined your zoning, you may
refer to the
setbacks summary. For more information, please call
623-773-7200.
Can I run a business
from my home?
Some businesses can be operated
out of a home if they do not increase the level of activity in a neighborhood. These businesses are referred to as home
occupations. Certain criteria must be satisfied and licensing is required. A complete
listing of criteria is available online (click here) or by calling the City of Peoria Planning Division at
623-773-7200.
