Which BERDE category applies to a district where businesses that specialize in an industry work?

• A. Office Buildings
• B. Educational Buildings
• C. Vertical Residential Buildings
• D. Industrial/Industrial Parks

Answer: (D)

In BERDE, categories reflect the primary use and activity of a place. A district where businesses that specialize in an industry work is defined by industrial activity and the clustering of manufacturing, warehousing, and related services. That makes Industrial/Industrial Parks the best fit, because it specifically denotes zones centered on industrial activity and the support infrastructure that goes with it. The other options describe different dominant uses: office buildings are for administrative work, educational buildings host schools, and vertical residential buildings are for housing. None of these capture the industrial focus of a district where industry-specific businesses are concentrated.
