Florida Community Association Manager Practice Exam

Which aspect is NOT regulated by zoning regulations?

1. Types of supporting infrastructure

2. Types of voting procedures in the association

3. Form that a building can take

4. Amenities required for property use

The correct answer is: Types of voting procedures in the association

Zoning regulations are primarily concerned with land use and the physical development of properties within designated areas. They govern elements such as the types of structures that can be built, their height and bulk, the density of development, and specific uses permitted within certain zones. This encompasses the form that a building can take, types of supporting infrastructure, and amenities required for property use. Voting procedures in an association fall outside the scope of zoning regulations. These procedures typically concern how decisions are made within the context of the community or association governance and are guided more by the governing documents of the association, such as bylaws or rules and regulations, rather than local zoning laws. Therefore, while zoning laws dictate certain developmental aspects of property, they do not regulate how communities like homeowner associations conduct their voting processes. This distinction highlights why voting procedures are not a focus of zoning regulations.
