    ZoLa Consolidates Online Zoning Information

    The City Planning Commission and the Department of Information Technology have teamed up on a new, user friendly Web Application, which brings zoning and land use information to everyone’s fingertips.

    The system is called ZoLa – a mashup of Zoning and Land Use – and it provides a very simple means of finding land use information through interactive maps. ZoLa offers rich functionality, and can provide easy access to up-to-date zoning information on the block and lot levels, along with printable web map to help research property.

    The system is built around the concept of layers –

    The Zoning layer will show zoning districts in a given area, as well as zoning proposal, amendments and new adoptions.

    The Land Use layer will display color coding of different areas based on zoning use.

    There are also layers for Waterfront, Environmental requirements, and a host of other designations.

    ZoLa will quickly become part of the research process. Like all systems, it may take some time to learn, so we recommend visiting the site and starting to explore. To visit ZoLa, please click here.
