What does density zoning refer to?

  1. The quality of building materials

  2. The height of buildings allowed

  3. The number of houses built on an acre of land

  4. The ratio of commercial to residential space

The correct answer is: The number of houses built on an acre of land

Density zoning refers to the number of houses allowed to be built on one acre of land. This is measured by the number of housing units per acre and is used to regulate the population density in a specific area. The other options refer to different aspects of building regulations, but do not directly relate to density zoning. Building material quality may be important for safety and durability, building height may be regulated for aesthetic or practical reasons, and the ratio of commercial to residential space may affect the overall balance of an area. However, none of these directly refer to the specific concept of density zoning.
