          When zoning you can hold the following keys (or any combination) to adjust how it will configure the plots:




          • Shift: Temporarily disables automatic street placement


          • Alt: Rotates zone to face perpendicular road


          • Ctrl: Forces a specific plot size



          It sounds like you would want to use the Alt key.
