... Egypt proposed the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. This proposal was not intended to replace the earlier idea of a nuclear-weapon-free zone [in the Middle East], but rather to be pursued in parallel ...

Conditional Use Zoning. A request for rezoning may include conditions which restrict the use of the land further and more particularly than the basic zoning category does. Example : a property owner applies to rezone his property from R-10(medium density residential) to O&1-2(office and institutional). This office zone has no building height limit. After discussion with nearby residents, who object to the construction of a tall building on this site, the property owner includes a condition with the rezoning request; the condition limits building height to, say 50 feet. The conditions are attached to the zoning and are enforced as zoning regulations. Conditional use zoning permits modifications of the zoning regulations, to fit the particular needs of a situation. It is often thought of as a bargaining tool. 2, record 5, English, - conditional%20use%20zoning

Non-exclusive agricultural zoning includes: large-lot zoning (setting large minimum lot sizes), area-based allocation zoning (the number of non-farm dwellings that can be developed is determined by an acreage-based allocation and the minimum size of each non-farm dwelling is restricted), and conditional use zoning (requiring a special use permit to subdivide agricultural land). 3, record 5, English, - conditional%20use%20zoning

The Commercial Float Zone Furnace(CFZF) is a materials science crystal growth facility developed jointly by the Canadian Space Agency(CSA) and the German Space Agency(DARA). This payload will be launched in the SPACEHAB module on the Space Shuttle mission STS-77 by the NASA Office of Space Access and Technology. Twelve materials science experiments using four sample materials will be conducted by scientists from the three partner countries during this mission. The CFZF is designed to allow production of larger samples of industrially important material. The pure samples that will be produced are of great interest to the electronics industry; these samples will be large enough to allow evaluation of the space-based processes and to suggest improvements to around-based processing. 3, record 8, English, - commercial%20float%20zone%20furnace
