[Lead paragraph]
Zoning districts are legal areas in municipalities that permit and prohibit land uses.[1] Each zoning district may specify a variety of outright and conditional uses, size and dimension of the land and subsequent buildings, to guide development and growth.[2] Generally, zoning districts aim to support uniformity in the area which can also be interpreted as a legal tool for regulating land use.[3] A municipalities' zoning bylaw determines the local standards for the purpose of compliance to the uses determined within the zoning districts. The permitting and prohibiting of land uses through zoning districts or the holding of land for future development can draw criticism as a general limitation to zoning. In the North American context, examples of zoning districts include residential, industrial, commercial, cultural recreational and agricultural uses. The lexicon of zoning district can change from municipality to municipality around the world.
