Rules may also be implemented with different levels and/or tiers of control to define who controls and what can and cannot be licensed or delegated. They may also define different types of criteria (e.g., date/time, persona, tiers, region, etc.) that could be used for control. In some cases, rules may be mixed and matched at the same time based on generic business rules.
Types of rules may include government rules and regulation rules. Government rules may include legal rights or rules defined by and/or enforced by a government or governmental agency such as ordinances and zoning, including zoning designations used by local governments to categorize zoning within a city, municipality, or a county. Zoning categories may include residential (usually divided into single-family or multifamily use), commercial (i.e., an area allowed for commercial activities like retail stores and offices), industrial (i.e., property used for manufacturing purposes), agricultural (i.e., an area set aside for farming activities), and recreational (i.e., land used for recreational activities).
