The City of Folsom’s Zoning Code carries out the city’s land use policies by classifying and regulating the uses of land and structures within the city. The Zoning Code is found in Chapter 17 of the Folsom Municipal Code. It serves to promote and protect the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, prosperity, and general welfare of residents and businesses.
