There are two theories used, namely the theory of authority and the theory of spatial planning. The research method used is an empirical juridical method and the research specifications used are descriptive analityc. The results of the research show that the Serang City government and the Spatial Planning Service are currently implementing the trade zoning policy usually through issuing a permit regarding the zone that will be placed as a trade zone, and following regional regulations that are still in force for its arrangement. In conclusion, the functional zoning of commercial space was formed as a result of the direction of regional spatial planning policies, however, the existence of the market gave rise to and increased growth of trading space zoning.
