Funny that you mention zoning - Houston has none. There's a guy living next door to an amusement park and during the summer has to listen to the screams of the adjacent roller coaster riders every 2.5 minutes. It's just an accepted part of living there. However, Houston does have building codes, and structures must withstand 130-150 mph winds, depending on location and other factors. So new-construction buildings and those undergoing significant renovations must have things like hurricane-rated glazing, and roof ties to prevent them from being blown off. https://edocs.publicworks.houstontx.gov/documents/divisions/planning/enforcement/1110_design_criteria_coh_building_code.pdf https://edocs.publicworks.houstontx.gov/documents/divisions/...
