Spot Zoning

The granting to a particular parcel of land a classification concerning its use that differs from the classification of other land in the immediate area.

Spot zoning is invalid because it amounts to an Arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable treatment of a limited area within a particular district and is, therefore, a deviation from the comprehensive plan.

spot zoning

n. a provision in a general plan which benefits a single parcel of land by creating a zone for use just for that parcel and different from the surrounding properties in the area. Example: in a residential neighborhood zoned for single family dwellings with a minimum of 10,000 square feet, the corner service station property is zoned commercial. Spot zoning is not favored, since it smacks of favoritism and usually annoys neighbors. An existing commercial business can be accommodated by a "zoning variance" (allowing a non-conforming use for the time being) or a "grandfathered" right to continue a use existing when the zoning plan was adopted and which will terminate if the building is torn down. (See: grandfathered in, zoning)

spot zoning

Changing the zoning for a particular parcel of property in order to allow uses not ordinarily permitted under the regular zoning for that area.This is a very unusual step; the more common method of reaching the same goal would be to grant a variance for a particular owner for a specific use.In an area zoned for residential use,local government might grant a variance so that a parcel can be used for a doctor's office. With spot zoning, that parcel's zoning would be changed to General Business or something similar,and any business permitted under such zoning could operate on the parcel.
