5.13 No zoning or land‑use discrimination

Zoning is inherently discriminatory: it treats landowners differently based on location, use, or classification.

Under the NDP:

  • zoning categories (residential, commercial, industrial) cannot impose different rights
  • land‑use restrictions must be universal and harm‑based
  • planning approvals cannot be discretionary or selective

This collapses the modern planning system into a simple nuisance‑based framework.
