contextual zoning

Read a random definition: bumping

A quick definition of contextual zoning:

Contextual zoning is a way of deciding what can be built on a piece of land based on what is already around it. This helps to make sure that new buildings fit in with the neighborhood and don't look out of place. For example, if a lot is surrounded by small houses, contextual zoning might prevent someone from building a huge mansion on that lot. This type of zoning is used to protect the character of established neighborhoods.

A more thorough explanation:

Contextual zoning is a type of zoning that considers the appropriate use of a lot based on the scale and types of nearby buildings. For example, it can prevent the destruction of older, smaller residences to make room for larger houses in established neighborhoods. This approach to zoning is used to maintain the character and integrity of a neighborhood.

For instance, if a neighborhood has mostly small, single-family homes, contextual zoning would prevent a developer from building a large apartment complex that would be out of place and disrupt the character of the neighborhood. Instead, the zoning would require the developer to build something that fits in with the existing buildings in the area.
