Why you should care about zoning | March 3rd, 2020

Zoning isn't the sexiest topic, but it's one of the most pervasive parts of government happening at the local level. It controls what you can build on your own land, how you can build it,  what it looks like, and what you're allowed to do there. Your town, village, or city has a complex network of rules about all of these things in their zoning code. We wanted to do an introductory show on zoning with Rochester area developer and zoning aficionado Matthew Denker, owner of LBLD Living.  We cover a lot on this show, but if you want to do a deeper diving into zoning history Matthew Denker wrote a great series on zoning here: http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/2015/09/filling-in-zoning-part-1-introduction/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afreesolution/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afreesolution/support
