Never mind the small towns. Houston has no zoning laws at all, yet:

IIRC Houston does not have zoning in direct sense of the word, but has a set of regulations and restrictions (e.g. on height, setbacks, parking minimums, lot sizes, etc.) that still drastically limits options for buildings.

Houston has covenants which basically pick up the role of zoning laws. Famously they have massive parking minimums which prevents densifying.
