Question

A developer wants to build a sprawling two-story office complex. The developer's and architect's vision is something low, modern, and new. They are planning the complex in an urban area of town, replacing ten blocks of old high-rise buildings. Unfortunately, the zoning commission's vision does not coincide with either the developer's or the architect's. Which type of zoning regulation applies?

a. Directive Zoningb. Aesthetic Zoningc. Bulk Zoningd. Both A and B

Answer 1

a. directive zoning

Step-by-step explanation:

Directive zoning is an instrument used in master plans, whereby the city is divided into areas on which differentiated land use and land use guidelines apply, especially urban indexes. Directive zoning acts primarily by controlling two main elements: the use and size (or size) of lots and buildings. It is therefore assumed that the end result achieved through individual actions is in line with the municipality's objectives, which include proportionality between occupation and infrastructure, the need to protect fragile areas and / or cultural interest, the harmony from the volumetric point of view, etc.
