Exam – 40 Q’s and A’s
zoning - -regulation of land use, population density, and building size by
creating districts for similar uses
- P = Permitted - -zoning: permitted by right, what we intended
- N = Never Permitted - -zoning: never permitted on this land
- S = Special Use Permit - -zoning: middle ground, don't want to allow just
anything, only certain cases with some things allowed, case by cas
- L = Mixed Use Requirement - -zoning: must be a certain percentage
commercial that allows residential above
ex: property must have 50% leasable space for commercial use
- FAR = Floor space to lot ratio - -way to control commercial densities,
quantitative measure to how densely you are using your property
high (cities) = more developed
low (rural) = less developed
DT Athens = 5 = (can fill entire property with a 5 story building)
Rural Area = .25 (can fill 1/4 of property with 1 story building)
- Max Lot surface - -maximum % of the lot that can have concrete/be
developed (way to avoid storm run-off problems)
- rezoning - -changing zone classification, required input of public opinion
- zone variance - -property owner seeks permission from local government
to violate some element of their local zone ordinance (application, public
opinion)
NOT changing the zoning classification, small changes
- non conforming use - -existing property that is not consistent with the
zoning ordinance, usually because fuse preceded zoning
- modern zoning tools - -trying to keep (+) spillovers close to each other
and (-) spillovers farther away
