building restrictions
Development code constraints
Building restrictions are rules that limit what can be constructed on a piece of land or how existing structures can be modified.
They may come from government zoning laws, homeowner associations, or deed covenants.
Common restrictions govern height, setbacks from property lines, architectural style, or permitted uses: The building restrictions prohibit commercial development in this neighborhood.
Also called building codes when focused on safety standards rather than aesthetics or land use.
