Answer 1

The correct answer is C: new development from negatively impacting established businesses and residents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main function of zoning laws is to regulate the use of land into different residential, commercial, and industrial zones, by the use of the land and objects built upon it. Zoning laws are protecting the health, welfare, and safety of the people as relates to land use.

The first zoning laws originated in Los Angeles (1908) and New York (1916).

The zoning laws protect the health, morals, welfare, and safety of the community from negative impacts, protect the value of buildings and objects and encourage the most adequate use of the land.
