Commercial Estates

Every incorporated city practically implements a system of zoning in order to regulate the use of properties that exists within its territorial jurisdiction. Prior to the issuance of permits, the city government must first establish whether the location is being used as it is zoned. Therefore, before securing permission to build profit making business like an office complex, the chosen area must be classified as a commercial property. City maps clearly define the boundaries that exist between industrial, commercial and residential properties. If a portion of the proposed construction falls in a zone that is specified for the purpose other than its intended use, the proponents must first secure a permit which would allow them to commence construction despite crossing over to another zone boundary.
