Which of the following is not generally considered a benefit of a zoning code?

  1. Establishment of clear regulations

  2. Protection of property values

  3. Establishment of maximum speed regulations in residential districts

  4. Encouragement of organized city development

The correct answer is: Establishment of maximum speed regulations in residential districts

Zoning codes are designed to regulate land use in urban and suburban areas, primarily focusing on how land can be used and developed. The benefits of zoning codes typically include the establishment of clear regulations that guide what can be built where (allowing for predictable development), the protection of property values by preventing incompatible land uses that could diminish an area's desirability, and encouragement of organized city development through the planning and segregation of different types of activities and structures. The option regarding the establishment of maximum speed regulations in residential districts does not align with the primary purpose of zoning codes. Speed regulations are generally related to traffic and transportation laws rather than land use. While zoning can influence factors like building placement and usage that indirectly affect traffic patterns, the specifics of speed limits and traffic regulations are usually governed by transportation authorities and are separate from zoning codes. Therefore, this option does not represent a benefit associated with zoning.
