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.
Spot zoning disregards the requirement that zoning be in accordance with a comprehensive plan. It may be valid if there is a reasonable basis for distinguishing the parcel from surrounding parcels. Zoning regulations may validly prescribe a type of building, location of utility lines, restrictions on accessory buildings or structures, and preservation of historical areas and buildings.
