Which of the following is not typically included in a zoning bylaw?

The correct answer is that architectural styles are not typically included in a zoning bylaw. Zoning bylaws primarily focus on the regulation of land use, density, and the physical arrangement of structures. They often include definitions of terms used within the bylaws, permitted uses of land that specify what types of activities can occur in certain zones (like residential, commercial, or industrial), and setback requirements, which dictate how far structures must be from property lines.

Architectural styles, on the other hand, are more concerned with the aesthetics of building design rather than with how land can be used. While some communities may have specific design guidelines or overlay districts that address architectural character, these typically fall outside the scope of the standard zoning bylaws. Zoning bylaws are intended to manage land development in a way that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the community, and they do this through more utilitarian regulations. Thus, architectural styles are not a core element of what zoning bylaws are designed to define or regulate.
