yey'zoning - your smart assistant
Smart Auto-Connection between Zoning Districts and Overlay Districts. No more worries about forgetting an Overlay District.

Overlay Districts are an essential part of following up on zoning inquiries. As the information provider you want to make sure that you deliver a complete set of data. Finding out if an overlay district is relevant for a zoning district can be a time consuming task.

yey'zoning provides you with that information in an instant. It knows what zone is touching what overlays and vice versa.

Even if your overlay or zoning data changes - yey'zoning updates any new relations on-the-fly.

This gives your team peace of mind and keeps your clients happy.

yey'zoning - GIS Integration
Integrate with ArcGIS™ or QGIS while being independent with data production and publishing.

Having the right data available is critical for any planner or decision maker in the planning department. yey'zoning gives your GIS administrator a variety of options on how to integrate with your GIS platform:

  • ull parcel, building footprints, watersheds, contour lines, comprehensive land use plans, and other geometry from your ESRI™ ArcGIS Rest API or from a Web Feature Service (WFS) provided by your GIS department. That way any changes made in ArcGIS™ or QGIS are avaiable in yey‘zoning as well. Your data automatically stays updated at all times.

  • display aerials through a Web Map Service (WMS) or a Web Map tile Service (WMTS). Here as well, your data automatically stays updated at all times.

  • We integrated bing maps as a service. Get an up to date aerial from Microsoft and create a cross/sectional profile anywhere you want in seconds.

  • Import and export your own file based geodata using formats like the ESRI™ Shapefile or the OGC Geopackage.

  • Maintain (create, edit, delete) your zoning district and overlay geometry directly in yey‘zoning and provide respective services to your GIS department. So they don’t have to worry about updating their data either.

yey'zoning - a powerhouse for zoning planners
Personalize your Zoning Map

By partnering with yey'zoning you will have a ready-to-go solution that has all your zoning data in it. We also offer data integration and update services, so you don't have to deal with setting up your data the right way.

Change the attributes of an existing zoning district or an overlay or draft a new zoning district and mark it as planned. Any zones marked as planned will not be available to the public.

And if a zoning district is not needed any longer you can simply archive it.

yey'zoning - GIS Integration
Share intermediate results and collaborate with your Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals.

Keep all your zoning tasks, data, and tools in the same place

- even if your team isn't.

Internally share your new zoning drafts with all your stakeholders by assigning different roles from viewer to the editor to project administrator.

Make sketches on the zoning map or comment on a zone to initiate changes.

Creating tasks to notify others helps you to stay on track with your planning process.

Once you are done, you can publish a draft to the web combined with a survey to gather feedback from citizens.

yey'zoning - Search By Business Type
Search business types to see which zones they are allowed to operate in, ensuring that they are in compliance with local laws and regulations.

Knowing which zones are appropriate for a business can help business owners or entrepreneurs identify suitable locations for their business. For example, if a business needs to be located near residential areas, it is important to know which zones allow for this type of business.

Understanding which zones allow for certain types of businesses can help city planners and economic developers attract new businesses to the area, which can drive economic growth and create jobs. By promoting the areas that allow for the types of businesses that are in high demand, they can create more opportunities for businesses to thrive and expand.
