Line 2:
Overzoning is when land is [[Zoning|zoned]] (i.e. allocated and planned) for too high an intensity of use, leading to problems such as development of the land being infeasible (due to high land prices or expectations of owners) or inappropriately distributed.
The concept apparently first arose in Los Angeles in the mid-1920s, only a few years after citywide zoning was established.
A related line of thinking, we think, has been articulated more recently by Chuck Marohn, founder of the StrongTowns movement, in his arguments for "incremental" development, in which most places are permitted to evolve to a somewhat higher step of use intensity, but it is limited so that land values do not go beyond what is likely feasible.
