A parcel can be zoned for homes but still unbuildable. Legal road access, wetlands, septic approval, and buildable envelope are separate hurdles that zoning alone won't clear.

You can have land zoned residential where there's no legal road access. The entire parcel is wetlands. The septic system won't be approved. The buildable envelope or the buildable area is just too small. So even though zoning says yes, everything else says no.
