The only exception to this would be the Southeast <br />neighborhood which is largely zoned "B" Residential. This classification allows <br />multiple units and certain professional offices. The discrepancies in a perfect match <br />between land usage and zoning are attributable to a number of factors. Huge portions <br />of the city were zoned manufacturing in the 1950s in anticipation of large scale <br />development. This never occurred, hence considerable acreage was zoned, but never <br />developed. Some of the vacant land can also be attributed to abandonment. A second <br />factor is the continued use of land, especially commercial, that exists without <br />"proper" zoning. These would represent non - conforming uses of land, an acceptable <br />condition under current City zoning laws. As a final factor, zoning district lines go <br />to the center lines of rights -of -way. Therefore, streets and railroads are included <br />within the zoning classification. <br />E.
