WHAT Is ZoNINa2

rZoning is the application Of COM
mon sense and fairness to the pub
lie regulations governing the use
of private real estate. 1t is a
painstaking. honest effort to pro-
vide each district or neighborhood.
as nearly as practicable, with just
such protection and just such lib
erty as are sensible in that par
ticular district. It avoids the error
of trying to apply exactly the
same building regulations to every
part of a city or town regardless
OF whether it Is q suburban resi-
dence section or a factory district
or a business and financial center.
1t fosters civic spirit by creating
confidence in the justice and sta
bility OF the protection afforded.
'Zoning gives every one who
lives or does business in a COM
munity a chance for the reason
able enjoyment Of his rights. At
the same time 1t protects him from
unreasonable injury by neighbors
who would seek private gain at his
expense.
"Zoning regulations differ in diff
ferent districts according to the
determined uses Of the land for
residence. business or manufac-
turing. ands according to the ad-
visable heights and ground areas.
But these differing regulations
are the same for all districts Of
the same type. They treat all men
alike.
