+MAPC's Zoning Atlas, nine years in the making, is the first zoning map for Greater Boston since 1999, and the first to include region-wide information about commercial density, overlay districts, multifamily housing, and more.
++ Among much else, the map offers a standardized way to compare residential density across zones that allow that use by right: Dwelling units per acre are shown in this month’s map. + 1 +
+Why does the Atlas matter? Zoning is the DNA of a community's land use. It doesn't determine everything, but it's an underlying, coded blueprint for change, or sometimes the lack thereof. It affects a community's housing options, climate resilience, economy, public health, equity, transportation, emissions, and more.
+In this sense, zoning not only shapes a municipality's own future, but also that of its neighbors, and its neighbors' neighbors. Our larger challenges demand an understanding of land use regulations on a regional basis.
+Yet Greater Boston’s zoning codes are complex, varied, hard to access, and bewildering, both as a whole and often on a municipality-by-municipality basis. The codes we were able to collect are a localized jumble of approaches, regulated metrics, exceptions and use-specific regulations, methods of calculation, and even definitions. One base zoning district had 58 footnotes detailing possible edge cases.
+To make sense of it all, the Atlas condenses the zoning codes of the region’s 101 municipalities into just under 80 fields. We identified a set of five “core fields” covering use allowances and dimensional requirements: minimum lot size, dwelling units allowed per acre, maximum building height, maximum floor area ratio (FAR), and whether multifamily housing was a permitted use (by right or with a special permit).

++ The Zoning Atlas is part of + {' '} + MetroCommon 2050 + , Greater Boston's next long-term plan, underway now. +
++ + 1 + {' '} + This metric is based directly on zoning code for approximately 20% of eligible zones and estimated for an additional 80%. A more thorough examination of our estimation methods and calculations can be found in the project’s + {' '} + technical appendix + . + +
