Environmental · Defined
Activity and use limitation (AUL)
A restriction or limitation associated with property use or activity that helps manage environmental risk.
Why it matters
Identify the actual instrument, covered area, and obligations. A limitation can affect excavation, occupancy, water use, or other development assumptions even after a cleanup milestone.
In practice
A project example
A planned residential conversion conflicts with a restriction established for the property’s existing use.
