Residential projects by county

What counts as a residential project?

On ZoneWire, a residential project is a subdivision, apartment or multifamily community, planned unit development, townhome, or single-family development moving through local government review by way of rezonings, site plans, and variances. ZoneWire follows each one through its public hearings and puts the vote tallies and conditions of approval on the record, updated within a day of each hearing.

How do I find new residential developments proposed near me?

Open the county pages or the list on this page. Every project links straight to its hearing record, so you can see the vote and the conditions attached to each approval.

How does ZoneWire know about residential projects before they are built?

ZoneWire monitors the local planning commission and council meetings where a housing development has to appear before construction can start. It picks up each project as soon as it appears on a public agenda ZoneWire monitors, then follows it from hearing to final vote.
