Zoning Handbook

Zoning is a technical subject, but it affects everyone. To make the District of Columbia’s zoning law and processes more understandable and accessible we have developed this handbook. The Handbook is intended to help the citizens of Washington, DC understand and participate in the zoning process. Please be advised, however, that it is not intended as a substitute for the Zoning Regulations and the Zoning Regulations should be consulted if there are any questions.<div><br /></div><div>This Zoning Handbook contains a description of all the zone districts and describes a number of important zoning concepts and recently enacted changes to the Zoning Regulations. The Handbook was developed to give explanations and illustrations for key elements of the Zoning Regulations. We hope that it proves useful to aid in everyone’s understanding of the ordinances and participation in the zoning processes.</div>
