Your result, explained

Three possible answers — and what each one means for you

You will never get a bare verdict. Every result explains the reason, cites the zoning rule behind it, and tells you the next step.

Allowed

Your business fits this zone

Proceed to prepare your documents and file at the Business One-Stop Shop.

Conditional

Allowed, with conditions

You may operate if you meet extra requirements such as parking, setbacks, or operating hours. We list them for you.

Not allowed

Not permitted at this location

We explain why and suggest what to do — a different location, a different business classification, or a formal appeal to CPDSO.

A person always reviews the final decision. BiZ Checker gives you a preliminary, AI-assisted result. Official locational clearance is issued by the CPDSO Zoning Team after human review. See how the process works.
