, (A), (B), (C), (F)
the allowable height of a building is determined by the use group and type
of construction and may be increased if a fire-suppression system or
adequate street frontage is provided. Local zoning ordinances may also
restrict the height of a structure
During the programming process for a building project, the client asks the architect to
diffuse costs by building in stages. The architect should identify this requirement as
which of the following programming concepts?
(A) flexibility
(B) phasing
(C) expansibility
(D) priority
Give this one a try later!
(B) phasing
The concept of phasing states that a project must be completed in stages
to accommodate cost or time constraints
Of the listed options, which describes a process used to clean up brownfield sites?

During the design of a small retail building, an architect discovers that the building
design exceeds the maximum height allowed by 18 in and that reducing the building's
height is impossible. The architect should suggest that the owner apply for a(n)
(A) conditional use permit
(B) easement
(C) PUD
(D) variance

, (D) variance
A variance is an allowed deviation from zoning regulations. They are often
granted where it is impossible or difficult to meet a zoning requirement or
where a zoning ordinance does not completely cover unusual conditions
A conditional use permit is given by a city or zoning jurisdiction to allow, if
certain conditions are met, an otherwise prohibited use. This would not be
appropriate for a situation where the allowed building height was
exceeded
An easement is the right to use a portion of land owned by another for a
specific purpose
A planned unit development (PUD) is a planning tool for large tracts of
land that gives a developer discretion in how the land is developed.
Aspects of the plan must comply with standards and restrictions

three that apply.)
(A) type of occupancy
(B) separation from adjacent buildings
(C) means of egress
