BIndustrial versus commercial zoning classifications
CProperties owned by private individuals versus governments
DHistoric versus contemporary buildings

Explanation

Tiered land use systems typically distinguish between areas where full urban services (water, sewer, roads) are available or planned (Tier 1) and rural or unserved areas (Tier 2). Development is encouraged in Tier 1 areas and restricted in Tier 2 areas to manage growth patterns and infrastructure costs.
