Zoning maintains the integrity and character of the city’s neighborhoods. The Akron Zoning Code contains regulations concerning the size of front, side and rear yards, the height of structures, any necessary parking, and other development regulations.

The Zoning Division administers the Zoning Code and Subdivision Regulations; answers questions from citizens, developers, contractors, and businesses regarding land use permitted in an area and the development conditions set forth for such uses.  The division reviews all site plans before permits are issued by the Plans and Permits Center. The Zoning Division also serves as the offices of the Akron Board of Zoning Appeals, City Planning Commission, and Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission.
