According to the city's updated zoning laws, every new building constructed in the downtown district must include a green roof. Furthermore, any building that includes a green roof is automatically eligible for a municipal tax discount. The Apex Tower is a new building that was recently constructed in the downtown district.
Based on the information above, which of the following statements must be true? Select all that apply.
- The Apex Tower is eligible for a municipal tax discount.Answer
- Any new building constructed in the downtown district is eligible for a municipal tax discount.Answer
- CAny building in the city that is eligible for a municipal tax discount is a new building in the downtown district.
- DNew buildings constructed outside the downtown district are not eligible for a municipal tax discount.
- EThe Apex Tower receives a larger municipal tax discount than older buildings in the downtown district.
Answer
The statements that must be true are that the Apex Tower is eligible for a municipal tax discount, and that any new building constructed in the downtown district is eligible for a municipal tax discount.
The stimulus establishes a chain of conditional logic: New Downtown Building -> Green Roof -> Tax Discount. The correct statements perfectly track this logic by correctly linking the first condition to the last (any new downtown building gets the discount) and correctly applying it to the specific example of the Apex Tower.
