Zoning maps designate which of the following?

• A. The prohibited uses of land tied to mapped area
• B. The permitted uses of land tied to mapped area
• C. The colors of districts
• D. The boundaries of parcels

Answer: (B)

Zoning maps identify the uses that are allowed within each mapped zoning district. They classify land into districts such as residential, commercial, or industrial and specify which activities are permitted by-right or require special review, along with related development standards like setbacks, height, and density. The color coding on the map is just a visual aid to distinguish districts, not the designation itself. Parcel boundaries come from separate parcel maps; zoning maps focus on where each district applies and what uses are permitted there.
