Zoning regulations as outlined in Local Government Code 211.003 include what type of regulation?

• A. Height, number and stories; size of building; location and use of buildings and other structures
• B. Population density; percentage of lot that may be occupied; size of yards, courts and open spaces
• C. Land use of businesses, industrial, residential and other purposes
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (D)

Zoning regulations control both how land can be used and how development is designed. They set limits on the physical form of buildings—how tall they can be, how many stories, and how large or bulky the structure may be—as well as where a building or structure can be located and what it can be used for. They also regulate density and lot coverage, such as the portion of a lot that may be occupied by buildings, and required yards, courts, and open spaces. In addition, zoning designates the kinds of land uses that are permitted in different areas—residential, commercial, industrial, and other purposes. Because zoning covers height and bulk, density and open space, and land-use categories, all of these aspects are included.
