The Estates is a suburb outside of Los Angeles. Local zoning ordinances require that lots be “at least one acre in size”. Al owns a one acre lot in The Estates which has never been developed. He needs cash and wants to sell the property.
AI has to understand the importance of the Government’s zoning restrictions. Zoning restrictions are put into place by the government keeping in mind the scope for growth and development. In case, the residential zone or the industrial zone grows beyond the expected size then there should be enough place to accommodate the changes such as widening of roads or even buildings.
In this case, due to the zoning restrictions the Estates has imposed the condition that the 1 Acre lot has to be kept intact and need to be sold as one piece. Thus, zoning restrictions are necessary to accommodate future changes and leaving scope for implementing the changes.
