Course Description

526-An Engineer's Guide to Municipal Zoning Ordinances

This course is intended for engineers who are involved in any type of land-development project that requires a zoning permit. Often it is up to the engineer (either alone or in conjunction with other professionals) to determine the zoning constraints of a particular piece of property. However, municipal zoning ordinances are frustratingly hard to negotiate and have seemingly “hidden” provisions in any number of places.

The overall objective of this course is to provide an overview of municipal zoning ordinances and to focus on some areas that can cause confusion. When you complete this course you should be more confident in navigating your way through an unfamiliar ordinance.
