Abstract
This article describes an in-class exercise that can be used when teaching zoning law to a Real Estate Law or Legal Environment of Business undergraduate course. The exercise requires students to utilize Salt Lake City's zoning code to locate the best site for a restaurant chain given certain locational and operational requirements, and to research the likelihood of a variance request. The exercise is an effective means for instructors to connect an increasingly relevant area of the law to a practical business objective.
