Zoning based on the right to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare is known as?

Police Power

Police power is the government's authority to regulate land use to protect public health, safety, and general welfare. Zoning is the practical use of that power, shaping what can be built where and how land is developed to achieve those protections. Eminent Domain involves taking private property for public use, not regulating its use, and Civil Power isn’t the standard term used for this authority.
