Land Use & Zoning

In Michigan, a 'performance zoning' ordinance regulates land use based on:

AA list of permitted and prohibited uses
BThe impact or performance standards (noise, traffic, emissions) a use must meet, rather than prescribing specific land use types✓ Correct
CHow quickly a developer builds a project
DThe financial performance of development projects

Explanation

Performance (or impact) zoning focuses on the measurable standards (noise levels, traffic generation, air emissions, visual impact) a use must meet, rather than simply listing permitted uses by category, allowing more flexibility while protecting neighbors.
