Which year was the Standard Zoning Enabling Act established by the US Department of Commerce?

1934
1924
1944
1984

The correct answer is: 1924

The Standard Zoning Enabling Act was established by the US Department of Commerce in 1924. This act provided a framework for municipalities to create zoning ordinances, which regulate land use and help guide urban development. By establishing the act in 1924, the Department of Commerce aimed to provide local governments with the authority needed to control land use in a structured way, thus promoting orderly development and minimizing land use conflicts. This was particularly significant during a time of rapid urbanization and industrial growth in the United States. The act has served as a foundation for subsequent zoning legislation and practices in many communities across the country, contributing to the development of zoning as an essential tool in urban planning.
