Answer to Problem 1RQ

Zoning ordinances regulate the degree of building development as per land use by grouping buildings into zoning districts.

Explanation of Solution

Local zoning ordinances are regulations which are used to regulate the degree of development according to land use. They promote health, safety, and general welfare of society. To separate incompatible uses and promote cohesive city planning, zoning ordinances group buildings together into zoning districts. The zoning districts include residential, commercial, business, and industrial zones. The ordinances set guidelines for area and height of building, density of population, and may also stipulate building styles.
