Clearzoning®: It’s Your Code, Only Better

Giffels Webster’s Clearzoning® transforms zoning ordinances into user-friendly, online codes. It makes it easier for readers to quickly access and understand zoning regulations. Benefits of this transformation include a clear organizational structure that makes sense, more colorful illustrations, and searchable words and terms.

A key feature of Clearzoning is the zoning district two-page spread. This overview answers the most frequently asked questions: What uses are allowed and what are the height and setback regulations? Presenting these key zoning regulations in a clear, easy-to-read manner allows users to quickly find basic information and enabling them to dig deeper.

The Clearzoning process provides a “health checkup” for your code. Our team of experts conduct a zoning audit of each code as part of the transformation process. Then, our team identifies and fixes incorrect cross-references, duplicative language and inconsistent text. Through the audit, inconsistencies between the zoning code and master plan policies, changes in regulations and zoning practice trends are addressed.

“Clearzoning was the best decision that I made in Shelby.  Everyone loves the product.”
