Question

Able, a landowner, builds a small factory in the city. After the factory is built, the city adopts a zoning ordinance in which the area in question is designated a residential area. Which of the following statements about Able's alternatives is true?

Answer 1

Able's alternatives are limited after the city adopts a zoning ordinance designating the area as residential.

Step-by-step explanation:

Able's alternatives are limited after the city adopts a zoning ordinance designating the area as residential. Zoning regulations restrict the use of property and determine what types of buildings and activities are allowed in certain areas. In this case, since the area is designated as residential, it means that Able's small factory is not allowed to operate in that location. Able may have to explore other areas outside of the residential zone or consider other options such as renting or buying an existing industrial space in a permitted area.
