Abstract
Zoning is an undertaking t6 create a complete and satisfactory living environment for the inhabitants of a city or community. It is an attempt to bring into a community every facility which is vital and necessary to the welfare and happiness of the citizens, and yet not spoil the community as a good place in which to have a home.
