By Julie Bosche. The date stamped on your carton of milk doesnât necessarily mean you should toss it on that date. Because the dating system is not required by the government except on baby formula and baby food, the expiration dates on milk and other food containers serve simply as handy guidelines.
SPOT-A DEFINITION. Nowhere in planning and zoning legislation is the term spot zone defined or used. Spot zoning is colloquial term developed to describe the application of a specific zoning district classification to a small area which is surrounded by a larger different (usually less intense) zoning district.
Zoning is the process of planning for land use by a locality to allocate certain kinds of structures in certain areas. Zoning also includes restrictions in different zoning areas, such as height of buildings, use of green space, density (number of structures in a certain area), use of lots, and types of businesses. Zoning codes and permits regulate land use, protect property values, and remove incompatible uses from residential areas.
