Land Use & Zoning
What is a form-based code in Nevada urban planning?
AA standard form for applying for zoning changes
BA type of zoning regulation that focuses on the physical form of buildings and public spaces rather than land uses — used in some Nevada downtown revitalization efforts✓ Correct
CA federal standard for all Nevada building permits
DA code requiring all Nevada buildings to use standardized designs
Explanation
Form-based codes regulate the physical characteristics of development (building height, setbacks, facades, street orientation) rather than just use. Some Nevada downtown areas and transit corridors use form-based codes to create walkable, attractive urban environments regardless of use.
