4. Planning and Zoning
4.6 Enforcement of Restrictions on Development and Designated Use
Subject to variations in local ordinances, most local governments have a series of options at their disposal to ensure restrictions on development or use are enforced. These options range from the issuance of notice violations that identify violations and assign fines, to the denial of critical construction-related or occupancy-related permits, to the denial of future redevelopment or expansion opportunities to properties or structures deemed to be nonconforming with the local zoning ordinance.
