A lot needs to be directly next to a road or means of transport.  This is new in Sim City 4, as opposed to 3000 and 3000 Unlimited, which didn't have this restriction.

well by default, the industrial zones somewhat imitate the sc3000 zoning, meaning you can zone up to five tiles from a road for development to occur. however, it is not always so and you'll have to make another road connection. u can force a size of an industrial lot and face it to a road by holding ctrl, click, dragging and letting go

residential and commercial have a logical placement having to do w/ roads. there will be arrows and rectangles showing the placement and direction new development will occur. the arrows must be facing and touching a type of surface street. if u use only the in-game buildings, the default limit to how far u can go in is like 3-4.
