What type of zoning requires that new buildings conform to specific types of architecture?
Bulk zoning
Directive zoning
Demographic zoning
Aesthetic zoning
Solution
The answer is D: Aesthetic zoning.
Explanation for each option:
Bulk zoning: This type of zoning regulates the size and shape of buildings, including height, floor area ratio, and setbacks, to control density and prevent overcrowding. It does not specifically address architectural style.
Directive zoning: This is not a standard term in zoning practices. It might imply zoning that directs development in certain ways, but it does not specifically relate to architectural conformity.
Demographic zoning: This type of zoning is not a recognized category. Zoning typically does not directly regulate demographics, as it focuses on land use and building regulations.
Aesthetic zoning: This type of zoning requires that new buildings conform to specific architectural styles or designs to maintain a certain visual character in a neighborhood or area. It is used to preserve the aesthetic quality of a community.
