BCZ
Base Community Zoning
This zoning district is designed to preserve the character and sense of place in Baldwin County’s unique communities and natural resource areas. As a result, the district may be applied to a wide variety of lot sizes and uses located within rural and suburban communities. Thus, the Base Community Zoning District places an emphasis on ensuring changes from the existing state do not disrupt the character and quality of life in a rural or suburban community. The appropriate time to apply a Base Community Zoning designation will generally be at the inception of zoning in a new Planning District.
