# /zoning-analysis-uruguay — Zoning Envelope Analysis (Maldonado, Uruguay) Analyze building envelope rules for one or more lots in Maldonado using GIS data from the ArcGIS cadastral portal and the TONE (Volume V of the Digesto Departamental). When multiple adjoining lots are provided, compares individual, apareada (party wall), and unified (englobamiento) development scenarios. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Parse GIS Input Accept pasted JSON from the Maldonado ArcGIS cadastral portal. The input is an array — it may contain one or multiple lot features. **Detect urban vs rural:** Check the attribute keys to determine the parcel type: - **Urban lots** have: `nomloccat`, `nummancat`, `valaream2`, `tiporegime` - **Rural lots** have: `areaha`, `areamc`, `seccat` (and lack `nomloccat`) **If RURAL → immediately flag as non-viable for multi-unit development:** Rural lots in Maldonado are governed by Resolución 3103/2014 and Decreto 3866/2010, not the urban TONE. The constraints make starter home development impractical: - **50,000 m²/dwelling** minimum → an 8 ha lot supports only 1-2 houses - **FOS 5%, FOT 8%** — extremely low density - **90% must remain natural/unpaved** - **Only isolated units** — no blocks, no paired, no apartments - **No subdivision** for housing without soil category transformation (Decreto 3866/2010) - Soil transformation requires Executive approval and existing luxury dwellings on site Present this as a short verdict: ``` ## Rural Lot — Not Viable for Starte...
