The question
Peter asks about the excessive nature of planning and zoning entitlements in Coral Gables, specifically questioning the need for permits for interior painting.
The answer
Anne-Christine explains that zoning laws are primarily designed to prevent negative impacts on neighbors, such as drainage issues from pools, rather than controlling aesthetics. She emphasizes that laws are often created based on precedents of detrimental impacts.
