The City of Allentown Zoning Ordinance No. 14835 was adopted by City Council on November 3, 2010, and became effective November 15, 2010 (November 2015 Edition). The ordinance comprises 17 articles and an Official Zoning Map that regulate land use and development across residential, commercial, and industrial districts. Key articles include Article 1313, which outlines permitted uses by zoning district (either "by right" or by "special exception" requiring Zoning Hearing Board approval); Article 1315, which specifies lot area, setbacks, height, and building coverage requirements; and Article 1327, which establishes additional requirements for specific uses. The ordinance serves as the primary regulatory document for property development applications and zoning determinations in Allentown.
