Land Use & Zoning

BThe physical form and appearance of buildings and their relationship to the street✓ Correct
CThe density of development measured by units per acre
DEnvironmental impact and sustainability standards

Explanation

Form-based codes regulate the physical form of buildings — height, massing, facade, setback, relationship to public space — rather than focusing primarily on land use, encouraging walkable, mixed-use development patterns.
