Atherton has no commercial zoning, and town lots must generally be one acre in size, with single-family homes limited to 34 feet in height. Most construction needs a building permit approved by both Planning and Building, and applicants must submit a Construction Operation and Parking Plan before plan check, with construction allowed only on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The town protects Heritage Trees, and removing one requires a permit.
