zoning
The division of an area into zones for particular uses or activities. This may cover hours of trading. Zoning may be done, for example, by a local authority as part of its planning policy, with particular land uses designated to certain areas of a locality.
Zoning is also the method used to arrive at the rental value of a retail space (usually on the ground floor) by dividing it into strips parallel with the main frontage. A different value per unit of space is attributed with each strip corresponding to its relative ability to achieve sales and/or profit. The most valuable space is usually towards the front of the shop.
