The zoning requirements determine the type and extent of architectural ordinances that can be implemented in a building. These requirements dictate the amount of space that can be allocated for different functions, such as residential, commercial, industrial, or public use. They may also set limits on the size and height of the building, the placement of doors and windows, the number of parking spaces, and other factors.
Architectural ordinances are designed to regulate the design and construction of buildings, including their layout, materials, and appearance. They may include guidelines for façade design, building finishes, roof design, landscaping, and other features that affect the visual impact of the building on its surroundings.
In order to implement architectural ordinances, the building must conform to the requirements set by the zoning regulations. Any changes to the original design may require approval from the local planning department or city council. Therefore, it is important for the architect to take into consideration the local zoning requirements and ordinances while designing the building. This ensures that the final building design is in compliance with the local zoning regulations and meets the requirements of the architectural ordinance.
