How to verify zoning in Cleveland.
Cleveland zoning is administered under the Codified Ordinances with a base district plus frequent overlay districts — Pedestrian Retail, Urban Form, and Design Review among them. The city has been layering form-based standards over conventional districts, so the base district alone often understates what the frontage is required to do.

How it works
Available data, one preliminary view.
Buildability geocodes the address, queries available flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, and zoning context, and runs the published Buildability Score. Reports name the sources used and the items that still need local verification.
