Merced Planning community zoning-map directory (opens in a new tab)[2]Official instructions

Planning publishes General Plan and zoning map files by named community and gives side-by-side PDF viewing instructions. A directory entry does not establish that a map for an incorporated city's wider planning area gives the county zoning authority inside that city.
