When and How to Zone
by
Ted Sidor
Resource Development Specialist
CooperatlTO Extension Semce
Oregon State University
Vmi call the fire department
after the fire's burning but you
should plan for future growth
and development of your com
mnnitv hefore the fire starts.
Many people In areas of rapid
population growin, sucn as
Southern California woke up to
the need for planning and zon
ing before it was too late, after
the disorganized confusion of
nnnbnnM rievelonment and
growth had brought a tangled
patchwork that was Impossible
to undo.
The time to plan Is now, be
fore the problems become insol
uble. County wide zoning Is one
of the tools that is used to trans
late land use plans into prog
ress. There is a tendency to put
zoning off, when there are no
pressing problems of conflicting
land use to plague an area as
yet. But the greatest service that
those interested in the future
welfare sL their community can
perform is to plan before these
problems arise.
Zoning should not be ap
proached as a defensive move to
prevent undeslred development.
Zoning should be a positive ap
proach to planning for the full
and orderly development of the
resources of an area. It should
be tied to a comprehensive plan
for the highest and best use of
those resources. And it should
be subject to thorough and con
tinuing review as the goals and
potential of an area change.
There are several types of zon
ing ordinances that can be es
tablished. These include both
cumulative and exclusive zon
ina iinHpr an exclusive zoning
approach, only one use or a few
closely related uses are allowed
in each zone. For instance, in
an agricultural zone, only farm
inir or businesses close to farm
ing are allowed.
With cumulative zoning, on
the other hand, the zones are

And so on. with the final zone
allowing unrestricted use. The
type of zoning used depends on
the needs and wishes of the

The first step in developing
a good zoning code is to make
a survey of your community.
List the present use, natural
physical features, problem
areas, areas particularly well
suited to one use or another,
population, economic features.
Develop a land use map show
ing how the land is being used
at the present time, listing lo
cations of various structures and
types of use. Note farmlands,
strip development, parks, Junk
yards, power and gas lines,
drainage ditches, roads, farms,
recreational area. Note features
such as flood plains, that could
have a bearing on future land
use.
Some of the initial survey can
be made from observation. Sev
eral local, state and Federal
agencies, are also set up to sup
ply topographical, geographical
and other material. Source ma
terial may include aerial pho
tographs, soli survey reports,
forest maps, and maps showing
features such as topography and
