Home MenuZoning Redesign
The City of Newton’s Zoning Redesign project is a multi-year effort to update and rewrite Newton’s Zoning Ordinance. Zoning is the set of laws governing such things as the size and shape of buildings, additions and renovations, and what types of activities can take place in which buildings.
Zoning Redesign dates back to the early 2010s and is overseen by the City Council Zoning and Planning Committee (ZAP) and the Planning and Development Board, with support from the city staff in the Department of Planning and Development. The Zoning Redesign team also works closely with the Climate and Sustainability Team. For more information please visit Climate and Sustainability.
