Zoning

Zoning helps guide how land is used and developed throughout Garden City. The Zoning Division assists residents, businesses, developers, and property owners with zoning classifications, permitted uses, development standards, land-use questions, and zoning-related applications. 

Whether you are planning a new development, expanding an existing use, opening a business, or researching property information, zoning regulations help ensure development remains consistent with community goals while protecting the character and function of surrounding properties. 

This page provides access to zoning maps, future land use information, floodplain resources, zoning regulations, and zoning-related applications. 

Zoning Regulations 

Garden City's zoning requirements establish permitted land uses, development standards, setbacks, parking requirements, and other regulations that guide development throughout the city. 

Need Assistance?
