a.Zoning ordinances
b.Building permits
c.Eminent domain orders
d.Deed restrictions or restrictive covenants

Deed restrictions, also called restrictive covenants or CC&Rs, are private limitations placed on land use, often by a developer for a subdivision. They run with the land and bind future owners. Unlike zoning, they are enforced by private parties rather than the government.
