Zoning helps to shape the City of Bath.

Zoning regulates what structures and land are used for, where structures may be located on a lot, and how big they can be. It also regulates other important elements of land development, such as parking, landscape, and accessory structures. Through zoning, the City of Bath is organized into a series of districts - or zones - so that uses, physical development patterns, and other regulations can be tailored to the character of each area of the City and aligned with the goals of Bath’s Comprehensive Plan.
