A major component of the Development Plan is the Zoning Map, which ties land use to areas of the island graphically and dictates the types of structures that can be placed in those areas. The zones and overlays correspond to text laid out in the Development and Planning Regulations and the Development Plan that deal with minimum lot size, setback distances, maximum building heights and building site coverage, amongst other things.
