Land Use Controls and Regulations

A city adopts a zoning ordinance limiting a neighborhood to single-family homes. This power to regulate land use for public health, safety, and welfare is an example of:

  • a.Eminent domain
  • b.Police power
  • c.Escheat
  • d.Deed restriction

Zoning is an exercise of police power, the government's authority to regulate private activity to protect public health, safety, morals, and welfare. Eminent domain is the taking of property with compensation; escheat is reversion to the state; deed restrictions are private, not governmental.
