Question

Zoning laws may designate parcels of land for specific uses, but sometimes the economic benefit of developing wetlands, grasslands or forested areas overrules the protection of such land.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is true. Zoning laws are used to regulate the use of land in a given area, and they may designate certain parcels of land for specific uses such as residential, commercial, or industrial development. However, these laws are not always strictly enforced, and in some cases, the economic benefits of developing wetlands, grasslands, or forested areas can outweigh the protection of these lands. As a result, such areas may be developed despite zoning regulations that would otherwise prohibit it. This can have negative consequences for the environment and wildlife in the area.

Answer 2

It is true that zoning laws may designate parcels of land for specific uses, but sometimes the economic benefit of developing wetlands, grasslands or forested areas overrules the protection of such land.
This is especially true if a rare plant or something thought to be extinct starts growing there - then the nature cannot be disrupted so as to make a building or something else there.
