Zoning

Lexington's Zoning Bylaw (Part II of the Code of Lexington) regulates land use, size and location of structures, noxious uses, density of population, land development in relation to traffic congestion, and other aspects of physical development of the community.  

The Planning Board is responsible for decisions and recommendations required by the zoning by-law and the state zoning act in regard to zoning amendments and rezoning petitions.

Enforcement of the Zoning Bylaw is the responsibility of the Building and Zoning Division in the Office of Community Development. Community Development staff also support the Zoning Board of Appeals.
