The Old Way and the New Way of Zoning

Introduction

As the world of real estate and urban planning continues to evolve, so do the methods for obtaining and understanding land use codes. Previously, professionals in the industry had to navigate complex codes across various townships, and spend countless hours on research. Today, technology has made it easier than ever to read and understand land use data. In this blog post, we will discuss the old way of dealing with land use codes and explore the new, more efficient approach offered by Miletus Analytics.

The Old Way: Slogging Through Complex Codes

By hand, deciphering land use codes and zoning regulations is a laborious task. Someone needs to pore over extensive documents, cross-reference different sources, and back-check against overlapping regulations to ultimately understand the zoning requirements for a specific property. If you want to check the rules of a different township, this process has to be repeated all over again. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, given the ever-changing nature of land use regulations and the need to constantly update one’s knowledge.

Some of the challenges faced in the old way include:

• Fragmented regulations: Different jurisdictions have their own unique sets of rules and regulations, with each township creating their own set of rules. Without a central database, one has to seek out each township individually.
• Inconsistent terminology: The language used to describe land use codes and zoning regulations is not standardized, making it difficult to compare and contrast requirements across different locations.
• Limited access: Information on land use codes was often buried in badly designed or available only in hard copy.

Miletus Analytics develops tools that streamline the process of accessing and understanding land use codes. With just a few clicks, users can obtain zoning data for any property, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. Here are some of the key features of the new way:
