What Can Be Built Where

For every plot of land In Summit County, zoning defines what can be built there. Each zone then has acceptable uses. So, for instance, the area by Home Depot is zoned Community Commercial. Then, using the table below, you can determine what is available in the “CC” zone. An A mean acceptable. An L means its OK with a Limited Use Permit. A C means its OK if they can get a Conditional Use Permit.

Some of the various zones are Rural Residential, Hillside Stewardship, Mountain Remote, Community Commercial, Service Commercial, and Neighborhood Commercial. By looking the chart below (provided by the county) you can see (as of the date this was written) what is approved where.

You can then use this map to see how any piece of land is zoned. These are some pretty powerful tools to help understand what can be built where.
