Land Use & Zoning
A Colorado city's 'form-based code' (FBC) regulates development based primarily on:
AA. The use of the property only
BB. The physical form and design of buildings and public spaces, including building placement, massing, and facade requirements, rather than primarily on use✓ Correct
CC. Only industrial development
DD. Only the number of parking spaces required
Explanation
Form-based codes (FBCs) regulate the physical form of buildings and their relationship to the public realm (streets, sidewalks) rather than primarily regulating land use. FBCs specify building setbacks, heights, frontage types, and facade requirements to create predictable, pedestrian-friendly environments. They are used in some Colorado transit corridors and urban centers.
