Bill: Rejected Apartment Zoning Act

[Trentrick_Lamar]

A
BILL
TO

Establish Apartment Zoning for a Cohesive City Development

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:​

1 - Short title and enactment

1. This act shall be cited as the Apartment Zoning Act.
2. This act may be enacted immediately upon its signage.

2 - Purpose

1. The purpose of this act is to establish formally a category of zoning set exclusively aside for apartment complexes.

1a.) This apartment-exclusive zoning is to be designated either: (a) a-plots; or (b) apt-plots.

3 - Reason

1. As it stands apartment complexes can be built on any commercial plot which takes away from the total amount of actual storefronts that could be operating in the city which aids in the players’ inability to conduct business, with many of these apartment complexes standing entirely or almost entirely empty--if not empty, filled by new players who will not get on again.
2. The creation of apartment-exclusive zoning would allow that apartments continue to get made while also disallowing that they get made on c-plots in order to preserve as much potential shop space as possible and thereby allow as many people as possible a chance to conduct business.
3. The demand for shop space is unquestionably higher than the demand for housing due to the fact that so many people have put up their own apartment complexes thus far, with many players getting genuinely angry at both the staff and the government for the lack thereof.

4 - Provisions

1. Those apartments currently standing on c-plots may be grandfathered in and thereby will be exempt from this form of regulation.

Nay - takes away freedom of the developer in an already limited market
