spot zoning

Read a random definition: bring to book

A quick definition of spot zoning:

Spot zoning is when a piece of land or group of lands have different rules for what can be built on them than the surrounding area. This can be okay in some cases, like if a business needs to keep operating even though new rules say it can't. But sometimes, spot zoning can be bad. For example, a big store might convince the government to let them build in a neighborhood where only houses are allowed. This can make the houses nearby less valuable and make more noise. The rules about spot zoning are different in different places, but they have to be careful not to be unfair to certain people or groups.

A more thorough explanation:

Spot zoning is a term used to describe a situation where a specific piece of land or group of properties is given special zoning laws that are different from the surrounding areas. This practice can be controversial and sometimes illegal.

For example, a large supermarket may convince the local government to rezone a residential area to build a new store. This could negatively impact the value of nearby homes, increase noise levels, and give the supermarket an unfair advantage over other businesses in the area.

While some types of spot zoning may be necessary, such as granting waivers for existing businesses when new zoning laws come into effect, it is important to be cautious and avoid corruption. Spot zoning should not harm surrounding areas or impede competition.

The laws on spot zoning vary by state and locality. In New York, spot zoning is only allowed if it benefits the comprehensive plan for the area and does not discriminate against any particular group of people.
