  2. Industrial: The property is zoned for heavy industry and manufacturing factories. Some of these factories would be automotive, heavy machinery, and power and water facilities.
  3. Residential: This is the area set aside for homes and residential apartment complexes. Condos and duplexes are also another type of development for this zone.
  4. Commercial: These properties allow for the operation of retail stores, offices, restaurants, theaters, and mixed-use developments. Mixed-use development is a combination of retail space and residential space in one building.
  5. Environmental: This is land that is protected to ensure wildlife, and the natural environment of an area stays untouched. This is sensitive environmental areas that have a significant importance to the area. This would be an area where a wildlife center or park would be a good investment.

The city will look at the development plans to determine if the development would have any negative impact on the residents and business in the area. They will then decide rather or not to allow it to be changed.
