contextual zoning

Read a random definition: federal judiciary

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.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
