Aesthetic zoning means a zoning in which, zoning regulations such as conformity to architectural and landscaping requirements are imposed

to preserve the aesthetic features or values of an area. For instance, restrictions as to metal buildings, location of off-street parking, side yard setbacks, and front and rear yard setbacks are examples of aesthetic zoning regulations. Any failure to comply with the aesthetic zoning requirements can result in a project going substantially over-budget and becoming economically disastrous. Hence, aesthetic zoning looks at the essential characteristics of the community and its environment. It is also termed as form-based zoning. In Westfield Motor Sales Co. v. Westfield, 129 N.J. Super. 528 (Law Div. 1974), the court observed that the concept of aesthetic zoning is admittedly a most difficult one to put into fair practice, but that does not mean that it cannot be judicially recognized in some situations as a proper community objective.

Architectural control rules Architectural control rules are a set of rules that you can define to notify you when unwanted dependencies between components are introduced into a code base during development. In the development process, the code reaches a level of maturity where architects, designers, and developers are satisfied with the way that dependencies are organized in the code and with the way the different components communicate with each other. However, later in the release cycle, it becomes problematic when dependencies between certain components, packages, or generally any new dependency is not acceptable. You can use architectural control templates to create rules to notify you when such structure violations occur. These templates define a set of rules that preserve the way the dependencies currently exist in the code and produce findings if an unwanted dependency is introduced. These rules operate on the level of classes and packages. The following list contains the architectural control rule templates: Avoid extending [class] Avoid implementing [interface] Component [dependency] introduced Component [dependency] removed Package [dependency] introduced Package [dependency] removed To view a description of each template, on the Preferences page, click New Rule. In the New Code Review Rule wizard, click an architectural template. The description appears at the bottom of the list.

After you create architectural control rules, you run the Structural Analysis code review. Related concepts

Buffer a strip of land established to provide separation between land uses and typically developed as a landscape area. Zoning a document dividing the municipality into smaller areas called zones, employed by the municipality to regulate the use of land stating exactly what lad uses are permitted and providing regulations, among other matters, regarding permitted locations for buildings; and standards for lot size, parking requirements, building height, side yard dimension and setback from the street. Zoning and Planning Code the legal guidelines by which the city controls the uses of buildings or areas of land and also the rules about building size and height, setbacks from lot lines, and required open space.

Bulk zoning regulations restrict the density in a given area through a variety of building-specific measures, including floor-area-ratios (FAR), setback requirements, and open space requirements. Such provisions are separate from use-based zoning regulations, which restrict the type of use permitted in a given area, such as residential, industrial, or commercial. Floor Area Ratio (FAR)

FAR refers to the ratio of built floor area in a building to the size of the lot on which it stands. This is a common method for controlling density of commercial uses, such as office and retail properties. Suppose a vacant lot is 10,000 square feet and the maximum permitted FAR in the district is 4.0. This means that development on that lot may have, at most, 40,000 square feet of floor area (including all stories).

Open Space and Lot Coverage Ratios

These approaches ensure that a minimum portion of a given lot is left open to the sky or that a maximum portion of the lot is built upon. Consider a vacant lot of 10,000 square feet with an open space requirement of 20 percent. This means that 2,000 square feet of the property must be left open to the sky. This is similar to a maximum lot coverage ratio of 80 percent; only 8,000 square feet of the lot may be covered by the building's footprint.

A commercial district or commercial zone is any part of a city or town in which the primary land use is commercial activities (shops, offices, theaters, restaurants and so on), as opposed to aresidential neighbourhood, an industrial zone, or other types of neighbourhoods. In some cities, authorities use planning or zoning laws to define the boundaries of commercial districts. downzone (doun z n ) v. downzoned, downzoning, downzones v.tr. To reduce (density of housing or permitted expansion of construction) in a designated neighborhood: proposed to downzone residential areas near the shore. v.intr. To reduce the permitted density of housing or the degree of proposed new construction in a designated neighborhood: the city's complex plan to downzone. Definition[Save to Favorites] The act of rezoning a tract of land for a less intensive use than the existing or permitted use. For example, land zoned for industrial purposes could be downzoned to residential use

landfill /lan(d)fil/

1. The disposal of refuse and other waste material by burying it and covering it over with soil. 2. Waste material used to reclaim ground in this way. A landfill also may refer to ground that has been filled in with rocks instead of waste materials, so that it can be used for a specific purpose, such as for building houses. Unless they are stabilized, these areas may experience severe shaking or liquefaction of the ground in a large earthquake.
