Abstract

This publication summarizes the main provisions of current enabling statutes that authorize zoning in rural or unincorporated areas in the United States. Substantive rather than procedural law is emphasized. Major amendments and zoning innovations adopted in 1969-70 also are analyzed, including innovations that foreshadow future types of zoning districts and regulations at nonlocal levels of government, especially in rural areas. The authority to apply zoning regulations in the urban fringe and open country is examined. Of major concern are zoning powers that have been granted for protection of rural values--agriculture, soil and water, forests, fish and wildlife, recreational and scenic attractions, and related resources. An increasing number of non-rural governmental agencies--State, municipal, intrastate, and interstate--are empowered to zone rural problem areas.
