What type of zoning is being applied if a warehouse is rezoned to residential within a light industrial area?

Aesthetic zoning
Downzoning
Incentive zoning
Spot zoning

The correct answer is: Spot zoning

When a certain area is rezoned for a particular purpose, it typically goes through a zoning process. In this case, a warehouse within a light industrial area is being rezoned to residential use, which is known as "spot zoning." This is when a small area or parcel of land is rezoned for a different land use than what the surrounding area is zoned for. Option A, "aesthetic zoning," refers to restrictions on the appearance of a building, such as height or design, rather than its land use. This would not apply to rezoning a warehouse to residential. Option B, "downzoning," is when the land is rezoned for a less intensive use, such as from industrial to residential, which is not the case in this scenario. Option C, "incentive zoning," is when a developer receives certain benefits or incentives for following specific zoning regulations.
